Coin Shooting...Back yard 14

Before the rain came I decided to detect a bit in the yard, got my first injury (cut my finger). That made me stop what I was doing, figured that was it for the day. After awhile I decided to go back at it, this time wore a glove (should of done that sooner *rolling eyes*). Wasn't long until I got a good signal, so I dug the plug and there it was, a nickel looked closer and saw that it was an Indian Head nickel-1936. Not bad, hope to find more old coins...

Coin Shooting...Backyard 13

This afternoon was so nice out I decided to do more metal detecting in the backyard. Also found more info about our property. In the early 1900's guess around that time, a Trolley ran thru the yard (way in the back). Now, that is explaining why I'm finding so much junk iron and the front yard is cleaner.

Coin Shooting...Backyard 12 - Produces Silver

Today is the day I have been dreaming about. Instead of going to the store and looking around at things I couldn't buy, I decided to do some metal detecting in the backyard (Again). Well, today I got my first Silver coin. An 1855 Liberty Seated Half Dollar, this coin is not perfect condition but for the age and being in the ground I think it's awsome. This coin has no motto above the eagle, no rays around the eagle, has arrow at date. This is my best find yet...

Coin Shooting/treasure hunting: .16cents; 1 dime (1970), 6 pennies (1940 (wheatie), 1967, (2)1992's, 1996, 19??).
