<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1552743, member: 75105&quot;]Can&#039;t remember if I shared these before, oh well it&#039;s been a while. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway tonight as I was putting some of these in new holders and baggies, I photographed them to share.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of my best metal detecting finds came from one yard in a old house to the north of me built sometime in the 1880s. I walked home with a pocket full of change from the 1880s. Amongst it was a barber dime I got $25 for. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the oldest coin I pulled out of the yard, it&#039;s from 1767.</p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/2012-10-13233304.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/2012-10-13233325.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple more coins I found in the yard from 1819.</p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/2012-10-13233503.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This area was settled some time in the 1860s so I doubt that these coins were dropped in their date ranges. The original person who owned the house was a Swede, and they were probably his Grandpa&#039;s or something.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also in my town I found this, and it&#039;s really cool. A Illinois watch company medallion.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/2012-10-13233348.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
