:hi: All
Yesterday I made contact with one of my permissions I acquired last year but never ended up detecting, its a Beautiful red brick apartment complex that dates back prior to 1879 as its on my fire insurance maps of that year, the superintendent told me that it was used as a veterans hospital during World War 1,
There is enough grassy area for me to be able to detect this location for some time, i was also welcomed back anytime with no need to call in advance (love those permissions), it did feel a little weird being on the main road in town with hundreds of cars driving by watching me lol, but alas the finds started showing up and I soon forgot about all the traffic, I did enjoy a few chats with some curious pedestrians,
Here are the finds from my short 1h45 hunt
31 Pennies Including 1 1951 Wheat
3 Quarters 68,69 02 American
2 Nickels, 60, 1943 Tombak
1906 Large Cent
1 Large Mystery Copper
1 Dime
unfortunately the old copper is pretty worn and I cant make out any detail, its slightly larger than an LC, I was also surprised at how good a shape the tombak came out of the ground.
I filmed the entire hunt and will post the video once its edited, I cant wait to return to this location, it seams that I am acquiring sites faster than I can detect them, a good problem to have I suppose, lol
Happy Hunting Everyone
