Saturday Hunt gets silver #45 for the year

Howdy diggers, Got to hunt at an amazing 1904 house on a huge lot. So where is all the old coins?? I found one wheatie and one silver in 5 hours of hunting. All the clad pretty much dated to the late 1960's and 1970's. The current owner has been there 20+ years and says I am the first to MD since she has owned it. Even if someone had hunted it back in the 70's or 80's, they couldn't have gotten it all. The dirt was that nice black dirt that shows lots of age so I know it's not fill. So what are your theories?? How does a 107 year old house not have any old coins???

Another quarter? I found another silver rosie yesterday and that makes 21 silvers for the year. All all dimes and I'm about to go nuts! Congrats on the hunt! HH

@TejasDigger Hey, I feel your pain brother. Last year, I had 36 dimes, 7 war nickels, and only 1 quarter that I found in November!

The second place looks dreamy!! Of course that's probably why the older targets were so scarce. Someone else probably had the same idea you had along time ago. Jerks! Haha But I'd be going back! I've only found one of the Illinois Retailer Tax Tokens. I found it with my DFX and it came in like a solid dime signal. How did those two come in on the ET? Like a dime? Or lower? I thought it was kinda weird being it's made of aluminum.

Great hunt big D!

Congrats ! : )

@TheIlldigger Hey Tim, That second place is awesome. It was built in 1904 by Germans who were attending the World's Fair in St. Louis. Those tax tokens come in at 12-40 or 12-41. They sound like iffy wheaties to me. I am puzzled about the lack of older coins. As you know, no site is hunted out. Especially a site that may have been hunted 20+ years ago! I'm thinking maybe the soil conditions weren't favorable that day??? I have an open invite to come back & I plan on it too!

Nice hunt, neat tax tokens. I too dug a 52-D Washington Saturday! Always enjoy your videos!

[Daddydigger1]

@Bell2trac I saw that in your video and I almost wrote you to say "Hey, I found one of those today too!"

@Daddydigger1 what is the range of years for the silver quarters to be silver, and do you know what a troy ounce is i have .9999 silver coin and it says troy ounce?

Cool token. Never seen one of those before in 20plus years of detecting. Good fine.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MEN

I Like your vids. It might help to not wipe items (probably the hardest thing to resist about this sport) with your thumb and scratch them but to clean them at home where you can do so properly without damaging them.

I garden and love it when I find old marbles, I put them in a jar on the window sill above the kitchen sink.

cool finds

[micmoable]

token is in very good shape and yes I agree--they usually are very corroded---I've found a Louisiana and a Alabama tax token in the past and they are corroded pretty badly but still neat--both are round

Enjoy all your videos, especially this one with its two tax relics. Mind you, I enjoy watching those US coins coming up from your parks, and I'm surprised that there are not more coins to be found so close to the sidewalk. Perhaps you aren't so clumsy at losing your change as we are in England. It's a shame that the parks here are no go areas. Good hunting.
