Metal detecting is an adventure,never know what we will find,but every thing has a story...
My favorite find has to be a 190? indian head with a large bullet ding in the face that obscures the date,otherwise it would easily go AU.about 6 feet away dug up a spent 22 projectile.Idon,t know if the 2 are a set but I display them as such.Oh there is an old house foundation about 500 feet away.No one can tell me anything about the house.
In my mind ican just see two men with a stevens crackshot rifle and maybe a marlin pumpaction arguing about which one is more accurate..
I also like digging up civil war mini balls knowing that every one of them ,dropped,missed ,or shattering bone regardless affected some ones life for good or Ill...
And that 1925 nickel,My most recent keeper,Did some little kid cry when he lost it?..
