after five trips to this area, and no luck, map overlay shows its right here, but im not finding anything ... then the sound of a moderately deep coin, i dig into the dry powdery soil, about 6" and out comes a brown disc roughly 26mm in diameter, i found a large cent !! heart beating i splash on some soapy water, rub the thick dirt away for a better look and no ITS a sacagawea DOLLAR .. no picture because i threw it as far as i could

    i was stoked at first, i havent found a large cent since early 2023 stoked more so because ive spent several hours trying to pinpoint the spot of the old house. it was a hell of a let down lol
