Today I headed over to an older neighborhood in West Seattle where I know most houses were built in the 1910's and 1920's - some even before the turn of the century. The great thing about this neighborhood is they have very large "planting strips". A planting strip is the property that exists between the sidewalk and the street. This are is owned by the city of Seattle and is considered public property so there's no need to ask for permission. Even better is this neighborhood has very few garages, so most people park their cars on the street and have to walk over this planting area - offing dropping things as they fumble for keys and what not.
The area turned out to be extremely trashy below ground with the metal detector seemingly always making some kind of noise. That's what you get with a extremely sensitive and deep detector.
Summary of today finds:
(28) Modern Pennies
(6) Modern Dimes
(3) Modern Nickels
(1) Modern Quarter
(4) Wheat Pennies (1954, 1952, 1947, 1919)
(1) Toy Racecar
(1) Brass Volvo thing?
(1) Large Lead weight?
