Seeing this, would it get your heart going ? So, although being able to get out the last couple of weeks when weather permitted nothing much to report. Sat. I decided to do a cold door knock on an 1850s house I have had my eye on for awhile. The lady was very friendly, we chatted for at least a half hour or so, she said sure and wished me good luck and to keep whatever I find. Front yard north to south, very few signals at all, a couple of memorial pennies, a dime or two. Lack of any iffy signals had me thinking maybe the Equinox was off. I could hear iron but not much else. Switched direction, corner to corner, now I started getting signals, A clad quarter,4 dimes, couple of nickels and 17 pennies, not a wheatie in the bunch. I had one deeper signal turned up an 1893 IH at about 8ins. And also a small locket came in a solid 31 around 7 or 8 in.
Mon. I go back, start an east- west search, I did manage 4 wheaties, a couple of nickles, some more clad including the cursed 65 quarter and dime. A 52 dogtag, a couple cars. Now I had a loud scratchy 23-24-25, thats a shallow twist cap all day long, dug it, it looked like a brass colored smashed cap. Threw it in the trash pouch. When I got home I dumped the pouch out and I saw the reed on the edge, I said wait a minute, Oh man, what da ? I was giddy for a little while thinkin I had dug a gold coin. Cleaned it up, thought for sure I joined the gold coin club. After a litle google come to find its a worthless 100 peso. Big surprise--Big let down. Oh well I guess I'll throw it in with the rest of my tokens. For and old yard, really clean and lack of old targets I'm thinkin its been hit before.
Last couple of hunts I did manage silver # 5, my first Merc fty, also my first Buff fty. Another war nickle, A couple tokens, some odds and ends and a pretty old lookin cool decorative piece, its two sided and can't tell how it would attached to anything. Any help ?
Last two pics I've been meaning to post, a little cabin fever project. Last year my kids got me a small display box, around 12x18. So instead of having tokens laying around in box or drawer somewhere I decided to display them. I took a strip of usb powered led lights and mounted them inside the rim of the lid and now once what would have be consigned to the dark forever comes to light every time I turn on the computer on. Ya know, funny thing, as you get older you get forgetful but I remember where I dug every one of those. I do love this hobby. Thanks for looking and HH Mark
