Never thought I'd see your face again

It was another hot night. Mary and I weren't too sure what we were going to do with the evening. Mom was out at the casino with her friends and we had to find supper for Jeff, Will and Dawson. We went to Jordan Pizza because I have heard they have amazing wings and pizza (Who says I don't give out my treasure locations?) I had planned to catch up on my metal detecting blog and practice my violin after supper when the phone rang. Cousin Nadine called and said they wanted a re-match on detecting their yard. Of course we were up for it but I hadn't updated my list on what I wanted to find next. I settled on adding a...












1910 King George penny to my list. When we arrived we decided to use a more systematic approach to detecting. We started going back and forth until Mary got distracted by Steve finding a...









1911 dime and veared diagonally across the lawn resulting in a hit.









I dug up another 1844 half penny and walked over to Steve to give it to him ('cause I knew he really, really wanted one too).The night got better after that (as if it could) as we pulled out a a toonie,










'Granted Superoir Temptler' hand saw medalion,










1914 American penny,










1956 quarter,









1929 King George penny, and a










1902 King George penny.
Steve and Nadine found...










two mini Lesney England trucks and a...

that is so neat. The oldest coin I ever found (in a piggy bank, lol) was a 1939 USA penny. My friends & I made it our mission one summer to find every year... we got pretty close!

is there a certain area you're checking where these old coins are known to be found? I'm curious :-)
