[QUOTE="-Andy-, post: 2291845, member: 76444"]Today I went in my backyard with a stud-finder.. (now the problem is a stud-finder can find anything solid so plastic, wood, rocks, metal, etc.) So I found lots of pebbles a weird looking plastic thing and all of a sudden... something shiny... a coin?? YES IT'S A COIN AT LAST!!!! :woot: It's covered in dirt.... It's a Jefferson nickel, so nothing older than 1938.... lets carefully take off the dirt with my thumb and.... 1960 nickel, my house was built in 1964-1965 so it may of been dropped by a construction worker! The nickel is in great condition but when I tried to take a picture it would focus :( So get a metal detector or anything that might work as one and go n' search for old coins. -Andy-[/QUOTE]
