This is what I get for one weeks worth of hunts

[40acre1870]

Now remember, I have been hunting my property for nearly three years now. This is a picture of everything I have found, this week alone.

With all of this I found 1 new penny, an axe head and a buckle from 1871... Everything else was junk and I only dig about 1% of my signals.

Enjoy,

Mike

A lot of junk.

[martymco]

You most diffently arn't digging enough targets wow thats a lot of stuff

[40acre1870]

I went through and cleaned up the mess and these are the items that I will keep, my wife hates me for keeping this stuff, but I enjoy its company. I throw everything I keep into my old Army foot locker.

The item on the lower right, might be a padlock covered in rust, could this happen? When inspecting it up close and from all angles, it sure looks like one.

I think it is George Washington's false teeth. History tells us they were wooden but by golly, I think you found the genuine article.

It looks like you have a lot to detect.

I know I am weird but I look at that pile and I am quite intrigued.

I am just getting back into this hobby and even though I say 'coins' are my goal, I enjoy digging up old 'relics' and rusty stuff.

Only if each piece could tell a story...

I am seriously thinking of investigating the 'electrolysis' process and maybe a parts to washer.

How to hide my growing collection from my wife is also high on the list.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

If that's only 1% of the targets, then get to work,, just think of all the treasure you're missin out on with the other 99%,,,

[sarge101]

Wow you got to dig more targets, there could be a lot of good stuff still buried there

I can't seem to dig the deep targets though.. Whenever it reads 10"+, I can never recover anything.

Man I dig up so much Canslaw and tabs and caps. In the last 2 days I found 2 dimes and 7 Zincolns and I threw out 4 3lb coffee cans full of mostly small aluminum scrap? I'm sure I threw out more than .27 cents worth of scrap!!! What is aluminum scrap at per pound these days??? Good Luck and Happy Hunting.....

[hawgdawg]

Around here aluminum cans are going for about 65 cents a pound

[Dirty Money]

Dang, if that doesn't look like some of my hunts. Must be something about the state.

The only things I see missing are the 9mm bullets and casings. Don't you get them down there?

That is a LOT for just 1%. Even my junkiest spots don't have that much trash buried. Though I have been weeding out the iron based hits on my detector.

[pescadore]

Man, thats a lot of stuff. Good luck with the other 99 percent !!

[Lightningjack]

According to those new detecting shows you could probably retire if you sell that pile of relics...
