I dug a piece of a stirrup a few weeks back pictured in with yesterdays finds
So of course it was a great sunday morning so I went back to the area I dug the spur .
Not many signals im figuring this place has either been hit before or the people that owned the property were very tidy lol.
First signal was my second silver spoon bout an hour into the hunt I hit the spoon but it was jumpy from dime to quarter to half dollar but the signal was strong so I dug.
Second target was a piece of a toy car im guessing a 1930s roadster .
Wasnt gettn much for the next hour so I moved to a different area on the property.
And about ten minutes of swinging I hit another jumpy but repeatable signal at 6 inches .
I dug down in the orange clay and immediately saw a beautiful white patinad williams cleaner .that had me stoked .
A few more hours went by with a couple rusty crusty signals like the long iron hooked thing any ideas what it us guys ?
Finally at the end of the hunt I got a 92 93 on the vdi it was kina faint but it said 6 inches deep .
I dug and nothing .I thought it was a false signal or a big piece of iron.
But somthing told me dig deeper , not sure why but I just said screw it and dug another 6 or so .altogether im guessing it was at least a foot or more deep .I'm glad the whites picked it up but im wondering why it gave a false depth and said six when it was much deeper.
Put my pin pointer in and there was something there .
I moved dirt with my hand and saw green patina.
So I knew it wasnt iron .
Still couldnt tell what it was and not wanting to damage it with my shovel I backed up and dug a wider area .to make a long story short out popped this cool old brass stirrup .im thinking civil war era but you know we all hope our finds are lol but who knows the spur could be from the 1960's for all I know lol
2 weeks ago I dug the spur piece roughly 10 feet away.
Last dig was this crusty pistol feom the weight I would say it was real .
It was about 6 or so inches deep normally i bus my trash finds but this unwanted dig I covered it back up and kept moving.
