Another productive day at the townsite. It started out slowly at first where I left off from yesterday, and found a few miners tags, a brass wedge, and some lead. I detected towards my truck so I could get the lead out of my pouch, and found a wheat and another miners tag. Then I hunted across an area where I did a grid a few weeks ago, and found another miners tag and another wheat, but for the most part it was quiet. I crossed back over to work my way back to the truck, and thats where I found the neat key, the Aussie shilling, and the merc. It is also one of the areas where many family homes were.
1939 Aussie shilling, 1925 merc, Great western hotel token, and 4 wheats. It was nice to break the short silver dry spell.
Half of a 1920s Norida compact, skeleton key, and miners tags.
Coverall buttons, aluminum cap that is very delicate, valve stem cover?, brass wedge, and I have no idea what that is at the bottom.
Between the finds and the junk, I feel like Ive dug enough holes to plant a small forest. I have a 5 gallon bucket in the back of my truck that is getting full of junk, brass, and lead, so eventually Ill have to head over to the recycler. I have until mid June to hunt there, but with the barley at around 5" now, Im not sure if Ill make it to the end of this month.
The neighbor said that they would probably plow in the fall which would bring up some more coins and relics for next year!
Thanks for looking, and HH!
