Silver Quarter and Trespassers

I am always on the lookout for places to detect.  I found one and went through the land owners to get the proper permission.  Showed up at the site later that day and there are two guys detecting on it.  I didn't talk to them, but they left right after I got there.  I guess they saw an opportunity to detect a newly mowed lot where an old house used to be and decided to see if they could get away with it.  It was also obvious that the site had been detected before, but I still managed to pull two good coins.  A 1919s wheat cent and a 1934 Washington Quarter.   

Finds from recent metal detecting hunts

1897 Nickle

1941  Quarter, Wheat Cents, clad change, a token, a couple of keys, and some jewelry.

1894 Indian Head Cent, 1956 Wheat Cent, Tokens (1 generic and 1 from the 1968 Mardi Gras), a key, and clad change.

Looking for sites that we can metal detect

We are looking for sites to metal detect in the East TN/SW VA area.  If you have some land, an old house, or an old house site that you would allow us to access we would appreciate it.  Email me at outdoorswithbill@gmail.com.

Thanks!

1942 Silver Quarter

One of my favorite coin finds is a 1942 Silver Quarter.  I just think it is a neat coin and I like how it came out of the ground.

It also cleaned up really nice and has some good detail.
