Had a blast at a neat old spot today...sorry lots of pictures...

I recieved permission to detect this cool spot in the next county from me. An older courthouse building that is now a museum. I recieved permission all via e-mail. Had a blast today. I only hit one side of the place.


The wheat pennies where coming outta the ground like clad. I don't think this place has been detected. I found 20 wheaties with some nice early dates. This 1909 has the VDB but no S. Darn. The S mint mark played a big part in my finds.



Where there are lots of wheaties silver is not far behind. That was true today as well. A great day for silver by finding 6 of em. A Barber Quarter to boot. If it had an S mint mark it would be worth some moola. Same for the 04 dime. The S mint mark, or lack of one killed me.

Here is the backs of the two Barber coins.



Also when there is old silver found. Indian heads are lurking too. 4 of em. The 1882 is pretty nice. Has Liberty in the head band.


Here are a few neat items as well. Do you guys have any idea on what this thing is? Here is the front and back. About the size of a dime.



This thing is neat. The museum will like this one. It has the date on it which is about the time the building was built. I love these kind of finds. It is a pin but the pin on the back is missing. Pobably why I got to find it 100 some years later.


Here they all are before a cleaning. A great fun time out finding old stuff in the dirt. Jim
