Nothing crazy....I had spoken with an older gentleman about detecting at his 1810 rental property last week but he seemed hesitant and said he had to talk it over with his tenant first. I had the day off and decided to take a drive out there and drop in on him. Well, that was an hour drive wasted....He sent the wife out to deliver the big fat N O. oh well......It happens.....I had noticed an old vacant looking schoolhouse with a few playground equipment sitting out back. I spoke with a neighbor and he said it had been vacant for many years and he said people metal detect there all the time. Between that front yard and the village park right adjacent I figured its worth a looksie.....
I snagged a merc in the front yard immediately at around 5 inches. I will admit , that one was a strange murky scrappy signal ....Not sure if it was iron in the hole or power lines or the tree roots or what , but I was surprised no one had snagged that one....The rest of the surroundings yielded very very little, just some clad.....a few hours later I got a sweet deep high tone just in front of the old baseball field. i was excited about the depth and impressed, since it seems like its been a long time since the CTX has sniffed out a deep target for me....Anyway....I decided to record the dig. I was getting a variety of target IDs on this one, which I guess isn't unusual for 8-10 inch targets ...It wasn't a special enough coin to edit and post the video, but I'll attach a few screenshots for the heck of it.....

I did snag two modern silvers at an early 1800s permission a few days ago, and a surprise GW left over at a playground I've hammered a bizzillion times ....But I'm still fuming about not landing the 3 1800 houses I asked at and getting nothing from the 2 1830s yards :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I do have a permission at a sweet sweet 1835 yard I have very high hopes for.....This ones really off the beaten path and very hard for door knockers to approach.....:waiting::waiting::waiting: for the owner to get back in town and call me....long story......
So anyway....hoppefully I will have a really sweet coin or two to post next time.....up to number 34 now anyway......HH everyone....:D:D

What ? An 1810 yard, and no LC's or colonial coppers to show for it ? You east coast guys are starting to slip. Tsk tsk :sissyfight: :secret:
 
Nice write up. Too bad about the no's the property owners gave ya but oh well. It frees up space on your list so you can focus on other permissions.

Great silvers and I really like that Merc. Good job getting it out of the tough ground. Probably not many easy signals left out there.
 
Congrats on the shiny! That play money has fooled me a couple times. I see it in the hole and until I pick it up and feel how lite it is or see it up close... the heart has already started to beat faster...LOL
 
Nice finds and way to pull some silver! Yep, that play money coin (I've dug several of that exact one) sure ring up good and then you think you have a silver dime when first spotted in the ground.
 
good job getting what you did, door knocking can be hard times here in western ny... I dunno if it is our winters or what, but people can be cranky out here!
 
play money

Nice finds and way to pull some silver! Yep, that play money coin (I've dug several of that exact one) sure ring up good and then you think you have a silver dime when first spotted in the ground.

The same exact one huh??!!
I can't remember the exact ID number it gave me,...it wasn't super high, but when I dug it for a split second it fooled me for a possible trime or something....:?::?::?:
You don't think the 64 play money would have been silver though???:lol::lol::lol:
 
new permission

Alright everyone....I got the permission for the 1835 home. Please send me some good vibes....
:please::please::please::please::please::please:

Please be an old old silver coin there.....
