So last weekend my friend, K, and I got permission to search an old homestead property that had been setting in the early 1900's. The current house on it was built in the 1950s after the original burnt down. Oh my gosh the site was so trashy. We were told my the landowner we couldn't specifically search the yard because renters lived there but we could hunt the back area out to the fields. We hunted that area and found NOTHING good.
Well we saw the renter out in his yard, introduced ourselves, and asked for his permission. He was more than happy to have us search. It was a small yard and worth a shot, and I'm glad we did. just a few feet in from a hard packed dirt road I got a 12-13 on my Nox and dug down only about 5". Out came this nickel.
The crazy thing is the condition. I did nothing more than give it a brush over with my thumb.
I LOVE this find. It was a great find on my first hunt in almost 9 months. I can't wait until I go back out this weekend.
