Construction site allows me to excavate a real treasure

[Coinshooter]

I made it out with Safari Scott, we had a quick hunt at an old bank site that is now being excavated for a new building. After about an hour a lot of trash and an Indian head out pops a 1723 Woods Hibernia I almost did dirt angels (similar to snow angels just in dirt) she sat less then an inch. The dirt was very dry and almost like a powder.

Always nice to hit those construction sites in an old area. Great find. I hit a torn out parking lot last year and came up with a nice 2 Real and 2 nice LC's, one of them sticking out of the ground!
