I spent a couple hours today at a patch of woods on a corner in the country which used to be the home of a schoolhouse.. Lots of fence wire about, and I only got a few good signals (I can't imagine I'm the first to have detected there). But I got a great looking 1860 Indianhead outta the ground - best shape for a fatty I've dug (Still no flying eagle!!! 
). The button with the eagle is iron backed and probably not military, but I like it. And I'm not quite sure what the badge is (I posted that over on Help ID My Finds if you know...)
Later, decided to go down the road to an old mid-century farm dump with the hopes of finding an ACL soda or two (I don't need cork top embossed bottles to keep me entertained...). Found a few goodies. I really like that "Savoy" glass car wash bottle - the image of the front end of the old 50's car is pretty awesome. And the Ball Ideal (Patent 1908) jar will be great for holding finds....even still has the wire on it. Now I just need to find the glass lid that fits it (I've only found Atlas clear glass lids - need an aqua one now).
And I did find two ACL's like I'd hoped. Lettin' em dry for a while before washing..
