Got permission to hunt an abandoned 1906 house. Amazed how few signals there were. Must have been hunted numerous times over the years.

I did break my silver drought though.

First hit was what looked like a half dollar, though very crusty and looked like clad.

Wasn't till I got it home, and after 10 tin foil, baking soda treatments, discovered it was a 1953 D Franklin Half Dollar!

I hit a Mercury Dime 1919, a 1946 wheatie, and just a handful of 70's lincolns.

A Palmolive token.

Assorted other bits and pieces, including a nice square nail.
****update I did some more work on the purple car underneath. It's a Tootsietoy Purple 1955 Jaguar D-Type Race Car, USA. ****

First two photos, the Franklin before cleaning.

A very nice permission. Congrats on the Ben Franklin Half (very nice clean up of the coin) and the Merc. Some nice variety in your finds. Trapper

Thanks, yes came out looking pretty good [emoji16] The Merc is a little bent and worn but I have been on a long silver drought so I'll take them.

Nice stuff. I like the green ball..is it glass? And a Tootsie!
 
Thats not too bad for something that may of been hit before. Congrats on that silver too. Very nice.
Thanks! Yes, I'm sure by how many signals there aren't I think that it's been pounded over time. Always a surprise to pull something from a site like that [emoji16]
