I had a good weekend overall. A total of 18 hours spent detecting in 90+ degree heat over Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday evening I spent the night hitting an old home that was once a hotel in the mid 1880's. It was hard to find good targets as there was iron EVERYWHERE but I did manage. I ended up pulling 2 Large Cents and some misc relics. One of the Large Cents is toasted and someone must have had fun beating it up at one point. Both Large Cents were found near the base of a large tree. Besides the Cents and relics I got over $1.50 in clad.
On Sunday I decided to go back and hit the same spot again. Man was it hot out. 93 degrees but luckily the entire house is in the shade with 250 year old trees. Also I was lucky enough to be on the side of the house with a breeze. I spent a total of 8 hours detecting the house this trip.
I found my very first Buffalo nickel, another Indian head penny, a wheat penny and some clad there on this trip. I found a bunch of relics including a crobal bell right on the surface popping through the ground lol. My first actually.
I decided to switch it up as the iron was kicking my butt at this location and try another spot. I ended up less then a mile down the road lol. Here I found my only 2 silver coins of the weekend. A mercury dime and a Washington quarter. The quarter is actually a 1932 "D" quarter!!
And here is a pic of the better finds minus all of the trash and clad.

Nothing much but I did manage another silver from the same spot as the silvers yesterday. 2 wheat pennies, one Indian penny and another mercury dime. Misc relics as usual but I figured I would share this pretty cool glass door knob.
