I managed to get a nice permission on a home that was built in 1853. The lot is huge, I only managed to get about half of the front yard string lined and detected today. I ran out of steam since I was digging ALL targets. I normally don't do that but this site is old enough to warrant digging it all.
I ended up digging a Buffalo Nickel, a War Nickel, 2 Indian Head Pennies, a V-Nickel, a foreign coin, a 3 Ringer Bullet, a Skeleton Key, a neat lock, a Sterling Silver Barret, a Mercury Dime, a bunch of Wheat Pennies and some other stuff.
After resting my sore muscles, I'm going to hit it hard again tomorrow. I'll probably concentrate on the backyard since it's the part of the HUGE yard that has been subdivided and is going to be developed first. It's no telling what I might find. That home has a very interesting history. 5 or 6 kids grew up in that home and none of the family got the yellow fever. The father was a land developer and started buying up masses amount of land around him as the yellow fever took its toll.
Oh yeah, I took the owners of the home a quart of canned homegrown tomatoes and a quart of bread and butter pickles that I canned since I didn't have any fresh homegrown tomatoes to give them. It pays to be nice!
