i went to an old house with my friend all day tuesday and wendsday. i found i 1957D wheat penny and my friend found a 1948 wheat penny. the house we went to was my friends great gradmals house. she went into a nursing home 20 years ago. all of her stuff in the house remains. when we were digging up the wheat pennies we heard some kind of buzzing bug flying by every 30 seconds. we ignored it and kept digging. when we got done we went to figure out what was making all the buzzing. we went behind the house. there was another really old house back in the woods. we walked up close to it and looked at the side wall. we found out what the buzzing was coming from. really really big hornets. we ran as fast as we could out of there. we came back a few hours later because my friends dad told us where a bunch of old missouri tax tokens were. we brought our metal detectors up to where he said and we got a signal. we dug up at least 60 old tokens. the tokens are in such bad shape they just look like round thin peices of metal. me and my friend went back to his house and rested for a while. after that we went to the 200 year old apartment complex his dad ownes. he was remodling this old room that nobody have lived in for years. he said boys come up here. so we did and the floor up there was covered in wheat pennies. it was a good day that day. thank god we didnt get stung by hornets. but i have a huge rash on my arm and my face is all swolen. i must have gotten into some poison ivy. well it was worth it. the oldest one was 1934. we also found a 1962 penny and a 1965 quarter at the house. also an old root beer bottle. we looked through the window of the house without the hornets and saw a huge jar of pocket change. probaly old stuff in there too. might have to just break in the door
I'm allergic to bee's and hornets---how much I don't know but one time when I was got stung my arm swelled up to about 2-3x the normal sized. Speedy
A coincidence- last week I was clearing some small trees and 'found' a large hornet's nest. I was stung 9 times and hurt my back running away and missed a day of work. Last year, I 'found' a yellowjacket's nest and was stung 13 times and hurt my back running away and missed 4 days of work. i am a tree cutter and it is an occupational hazard.
I really need a metal detector! I'm located like 100 miles from coinlover, and have tons of old houses and old churches in mind. Anyway, good story. Be carefull around those hornets. Captainkirk. A freind of mine is a treecutter, and I know it can be quite hazardous. He's covered from head to toe in poison ivy right now!
Your wayyyy too funny!.... Back to the topic---yes finding coins like that is fun---I have found some coins like that but finds like that are few and far between. Speedy
I would doubt that you will get an answer---coin collectors don't like to spread around where they live. Speedy
