Went door knocking with JD in an old east TN town. We hunted 1 turn of the century home in a town dating to late 1700s and some civil war history.
Turned out great! My best TN hunt by far! I started with a wheat then got a 1949 Rosie, silver 42 on the year. Kept swinging and picked up another wheat. Was swinging near the front garden when I got a signal just above nickel at 4 inches. Was hoping for a V Nick, but instead had a fatty gold ring, #4 on year, in hole. It looked silverish in the bright sun so I ran it over the ATP coil and got solid 55...encouraging. Cleaned it right off and it was yellowish. Stamped "Solid Gold" with large capital H on inside. Nice! Kept swinging and picked up a few more wheats, then got another mid 50s tone and pulled a 1945P war nickel for silver # 43 on the year.
Then I got a choppy signal bouncing around at about 5"....button...eagle...gilt, dirty. Was thinking civil war and was not surprised when I cleaned it...Calvary Coat Button!!! Woo hoo!!!!!
Also got a button that has a radial engined plane kind of like the one Lindbergh flew...anyone have info on that one?
JD found a handful
Of wheats, a token and a 1907 IHC in that yard plus a few nice relics. I have found 3 of my 4 gold rings while hunting with JD...he quit passing mid tones now, lol.
I gave the gold ring to the home owner when we left because he made it clear he wanted to split the finds.
We headed to Maryville and did another door knock to end the day. I walked 5 feet from the truck ground balanced swung once and pulled a Memorial
Penny. Took a step swung once and dug the heaviest best piece of Sterling silverware I've ever dug...Towle Sterling fork. Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Then dug a large foreign coin. Turned out to be a Chinese cash coin from Hu-Peh Province, 1897-1913!
What a hunt! Gold, big Sterling, silvers, Civil War Calvary Button and Cash Coin!!!!
