Riding Dirty with the buffalo nickle

[nbkDigger]

Today I went back to an old house in north carolina. So far I have found a 1926 chauffeur's license, a Lone Ranger token from Merita, about 15 weaties and some clad dimes and nickels and pennys. The weaties were from a range of 1925 to some where in the 40's, so there has to be some silver here right? I got off work about one'oclock and started mding about 2:00. Started off finding junk so I went around the house looking for a place that I could get in to something and beside a fence got a good signal down about 4 inches dug it up and it was what looked to me like a fishing lure. So I put it in my pouch and went on hunting, like a kid I was having fun first day mding since about a week ago but anyway went around the other side of the house and started finding weaties. The guy that owns the land and the house drove up and I talked to him for about 10 minutes and got some good info,he told me that when he was a kid that his parents would have his family members over and they would have cookouts on the side of the house that I was finding the weaties on. By the way he is 84 years young. So I made my grid and started swinging and before long ended up with three weaties and yes my first buffalo nickel of the year.I know its not but a 1925 buffalo but I like to find buffalo nickels and merc's. The silver is still no where to be found but the old guy did say the next time that I come that he would take me to an older house that was on his land that is now torn down but existed when he was a kid so i'm hoping late 1800's.All in all a good day to detect and found some cool stuff too.Oh forgot to mention the ear ring that I found that look silver and has some kind of stone in it looks like a diamond but probaly fake, I will have to find out later. Will post the picks on the next post. HH guys

I sure would say there will be silver there. It was nice of the fellow to tell you about the property.
GOOD LUCK WHEN YOU GET BACK THERE

Congrats on all the wheats and the Buffalo! That is some nice digging for sure!

What part of NC are you digging in. I am in Burlington NC, Beale.

[nbkDigger]

Thanks Beale Im from Monroe,NC about 30 min south of Charlotte (Go Panthers)lol. Do you hunt alot of old houses or relic sites or just for jewelry? I like to hunt at old houses because you can find just about anything and some things that you didnt even know were out there. HH
