My kids had swim practice tonight so I went along with my family and got out to the adjacent park for some metal detecting.
Shimmied under the construction fence a la Tom style JK man, it was still light out (JK again!).
Saw they had moved some dirt around at this tear-out/park work area I found my first ever buffalo at.
Was not dissappointed, found another buffalo! Heck yeah - a bit better shape than my first one
Also found 6 wheat cents! That is the most I've ever found in a day and is usally the number I find in a whole year of detecting if I'm lucky, so that was awesome.
They're a couple older wheats in there too:
1925-S
1925-D
1940-S
1956-D
1944-S
193?-S(?) just too toasted to tell
Also found an old bullet - doesn't look shot, single ring, pistol, I'll have to take measurements and post it in the ID section. Pretty cool. Found 2 other shot bullets, plus a 7.65mm GFL cartrige - a Russian pistol cartridge? not sure what that's about.
Lastly, my best ever marble find, marble #5 since I started. It's cracked but whole, maybe ran over by machinery there. A white swirl shooter? marble as it's large. Picture doesn’t do it justice. This one goes out to Jamflicker
Needless to say, it was a great hunt for me, super happy. Happy hunting!
