Went out kncking doors around 6pm, after 7 no's I got a yes. The guy said he didn't mind but he was leaving in an hour and I would have to split when he left. House was built in the late 1800's. This is the stuff...

Monkey Charm is cheap, not silver (possibly silver plate). It is an older charm though...Red stones for the eyes and white stones in the hat (fake as well).

Wheaties and the 1940 nickel were pretty much a coin spill. All found within centimeters of each other. Wheaties range from 1940-1955.

Atlas Key

Indian Head...No idea on the date yet as it's encrusted with red clay/soil. Gonna soak it in olive oil for a bit and then clean it up.

Dog tag from 1996

Plastic button found with the Monkey charm.


I'll post some clean up pics in a bit....

Thanks guys. Ok, IH is pretty beat up, but still recognizeable..1888. The Wheaties are...: 1940, 45 , 50, 55. Jefferson is a 1940.

Can you go back? Were you running around trying to cherry pick or did you work an area? That is a really cool hour!

I'm sure I can go back. I showed him the stuff and he really liked the IH. I asked him if he wanted it and he said, no...just cool to see something that old come out of my yard. The yard wasn't very big so I covered it pretty well. I know there is plenty more there, so I'll go back over the weekend.
