Hey Diggers!
First let me say Congrats to Tony on his amazing 1877 cent! :clapping:
I went to 3 different old parks today and struck out at every one of them. Fed up, I decided to do some door knocking and got a yes at the first door I tried. It's a very old house in a very small town. It was a small front yard but I ended up pulling 68 coins and tokens in a little over 3 hours! I even had a great WW2 coin spill. The oldest coin I found today turned out to be a German East Africa 1 Heller dated 1912. You got to wonder how it got there! I also found a WW1 USMC Globe and Anchor hat pin. You can tell it's a "Pattern 1875, WW1" based upon the position of the rope on the anchor.
Here is some pics, thanks for looking and HH to all, Dave.
