These goodies were found on a huge hillside. It was probably used as a sledding hill or could be where kids played.

It was a beautiful day out and I decided to detect next to an old picnic grove area where I had found multiple coins from the early 1900’s and late 1800’s. There was a small trail that led off into the woods and I decided to focus on that area. After getting a good signal […]

Dad and I spent the day detecting in a large picnic grove that I got permission to hunt. He found a few silver dimes and some wheeties. Total finds for me was a no date standing liberty, 1964 Washington, 1941 Washington, 1948 rosey, 1952 rosey, 1903 Indian head, 5 wheats, and a sterling ring.
