Coinshooting, is gonna be another part of my finding money, with a different tally.
Today, I got the bug to go out and search our yard, our house was built in the early 1920's so I hope that there is history on the property, especially in the coin part, LOL!!!! if not at least I'll be having fun.
I belong to a treasure hunting club and today was our monthly meeting, this is what got me motivated. Was not at the search very long when I came across 2 clad coins, they had some ware especially the penny that looked like it had a run-in with a mower.
Until next time...
