I hit one of my new permissions this morning for about 5 hours. It's a house built in 1947 on about 1.5 acres and the land it's on has been in use for a long time. I was hoping I'd find some silver from the mid-40's on. However, I was rewarded with some older stuff. It seems I stumbled upon an old target practice area. There were old bullets, more modern bullets and shell casings everywhere. Then, in about a 20 square foot area I finally hit a few coins. I got two nice 1913 Barber Dimes, a Buffalo Nickel that I'm trying to pull a date off of and two Injuns (a toasted 1893 and a pretty nice looking 1908...not an "S"). I also got some sort of charm that was really encrusted but after some vigorous scrubbing with a toothbrush it started to shine up. I'm not sure if it's gold or not. It still needs more cleaning. I know lower purity gold can look grimy after being in the ground a long time. Even if it's not gold it's still kind of interesting.
