An Old Farmhouse, a Ton of Junk, but one Really Awesome Find...

Shakakka · Jun 28, 2017

Hey all!

Got the opportunity to detect a very old, late 1600's farmhouse.

There was a ton of junk and signals everywhere, but I dug them all. Well, almost all! I know there are some horse-related things here, so if anyone can identify them I'd be happy to learn.

Okay... the payoff: after 3-4 hours of hard, sweaty hunting, I was rewarded with my oldest coin yet!

I probably don't have to tell anyone here, but it was well worth all the hard work. Happy Hunting everyone!

Congrats! I'd say your hard work paid off in a big way. :yes:

WOW,

Some days, that's how it is.
Just like finding a needle in a haystack.

This is what I tell myself after I have dug about 100 pulltabs, maybe the next one could be a buffalo nickel or a gold ring

Holy !!!! that is a hell of a find! All that digging paid off for sure!

Very nice!

I don't see anything horse related save the large ring, from a halter perhaps?

Lower left in the photo is whats left of a Zippo type lighter?

Well done sir!

Shakakka · Jun 29, 2017

Yes, that's definitely a Zippo. Maybe I should send it back for 'repairs?' :laughing:

Funny, I found that ring in my backyard, near an old shed. It's a "Kiddiegem" toddler's ring, which came in all different birthstones. Although why you'd put a choking hazard on a toddler's finger I never did know.
