So after last nights success of pulling out an 1813 5 francs after work I knew this hill had to be detected again. In the past the same hill produced an 179? wiped reales and an 1825 Austrian 1 silber groshen. So I got ahold of my metal detecting partner, cavecityslayer, and asked him to meet me before work to detect.
He and I scoured the hill side with nothing more than a few modern bullets and some junk metal to show for our efforts.
We then went up towards an old foundation that we have been to before. Junk, junk and junk. Got a pretty good pull tab maybe shotgun shell signal. Miss pin pointed then....
That popped out. Not bad for a pull tab/shotgun signal. My first gold coin. 1856 S 2 1/2$. It is almost perfect. One of those coins where the mint factory employee got paid, walked outside and dropped it.
Obviously once I got off work we went out again. No coins but cavecityslayer found an amazing suspenders piece(?) with an eagle on it and I got my favorite relics, a tongue and wreath( not matching of course).
Today was my best day of detecting ever.
