Got an invite from a friend out in York County to hunt some private property.\u00a0 That’s a long drive for me, but I’m always up for new places.<\/p>\n
Before heading out, I did some research on an old town near the meet up site, which happened to have an old park, so I got out really early to hit that site.\u00a0 Site was pretty dead, surrendering just one crusty wheat penny, but the town looked like it had other potential.<\/p>\n
Onto the first site, which didn’t seem to have a ton of promise, but a fellow detectorist pulled a barber quarter out of some roadside gravel.<\/p>\n
The second site was a private yard of an old home, which the owner said had been hit pretty well before, but I managed to find a few silver objects — a silver Canadian dime dated 1920, and a broach and pendant.<\/p>\n
Pulled quite a few wheaties; I usually pull one silver coin for every 2.5 wheaties, so I was prolly owed another dime or two, but we take what the dirt is gracious enough to give us, and it was quite a fun hunt in any case.<\/p>\n
Guys, if you want to come to Chester County, anytime.<\/p>\n
