  If that's there, imagine what else is.
  
  The grandkids would probably love a metal detector. Tesoro makes simple, inexpensive, and very effective machines. And their customer service is top notch.

  My guess is your wife scooped up some change you had on the dresser along with this IHC you were going to soak at a later time.
  It fell out of her pocket when helping your daughter with the swing set.
  
  Really though, that is amazing!
  Lots of detail too.

  I found a few wheats back there too...the house is from the thirties I guess but the location is high ground next to a tidal creek, somewhat navigable. There might possibly be colonial or Indian artifacts there as well. I will get the grand kids together and sweep the area with my MD and let them dig! I explained to my Wife how your average 1902 IHS was nearly worn flat from years of circulation and how this coin may have been dropped well before 1910. Ther are giving it a soak in olive oil. Dammm how come I never find cool stuff in the dirt?
