jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 08/20/2012 10:03 pm My neighbors across the street are going to sell their house next summer and no one is living there now. So they gave me permission to detect on their property. They get the gold and everything else is mine. Well today was 6 hours of enjoyable fun just doing the front yard and yielded: 2 Buffalo nickles; 1914P(fine) and 1936P(XF) 1 Mercury dime;1943P (xf) 1 Roosie: 1957P (xf) 1 Canadian 1932 penny in AU? 1 Indian Head penny: 1905...still soaking 10 LWC: 1920S, 1936, 1940D, 1942p,1944D,1945P, 1951D(XF45), 1954P, 1956Dx2. And $2.08 in change. The ground is dry and I had some really erratic hits that I will retry after the ground is nice and soaked. Now for the Backyard tomorrow! Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 08/21/2012 10:43 am It was built in 1907. But I think there was a stable there from the 1850s. I found some really old barbed wire at one point. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
