Our Neighbors Yard..

Mike and I were outside last spring cleaning the back area of our yard. We cut out a lot of shrubbery and made an area to sit outside and relax. Our neighbor came out and started telling us about the area years ago. He told us that our yard was a field when he moved there, and came right up to the back of his yard. He has a large tree in his yard and he remembers when he planted the tree! He gave us permission to hunt his yard and so we grabbed our detector and did a quick sweep. Mike had a really good signal under that big tree but also under a very big root. The rain started coming down and Mike had to leave that target in the ground. A couple of months went by before he could get back over to the hit under the root. He dug and dug and out popped an old coin! An 1845 one cent... Mike was happy that he had gone back and with the condition of the coin, although it did have a small hole at the top.
