Hey all,
took the CTX and Deus out for a farm hunt last week,
I spent a few hrs on a new site 2 evenings in a row for about 2.5 hrs each night and found some goodies :-)
Not showing the pile of junk this time - just the good stuff - too lazy to take and edit the extra pictures and all!
This site (an 1850s site) is next to an existing 1920s farm house currently empty so I found a mix of stuff from all eras (1850s ~~ 1920s or so).
The large coin like object has a date of 1853 but whatever it was is corroded so bad that there's no hope for it!
Found a fatty 1863, a 1883, 1892, 1901, 1907 and 1908 (no S mark!!) Indians
A cool .50 cent bank token of sorts and the prized coin this hunt is the 1876 CC quarter dug out of a hole WITH a square nail laying rgt on top of it! Bad thing is though that it looks to have been hit by a plow at some point in time as evidenced by the scratch/gouge on the back :-( but I'll take it anyway! lol
A silver thimble (marked sterling) and a locket back engraved with CW period looking engraving.
2 crotal bells (one's broken and the other is in working cond.)
A silver plated spoon, iron buckle, lantern parts, etc. etc.
It's now time to focus on water hunting for the summer with my newly purchased Whites Surfmaster II I got from a guy out in NH for a steal (been looking for 1.5 yrs for one)!
Sent it to a buddy for modding and he switched out a couple resistors in it to make it even hotter on tiny gold than they're already known for and it also gave it an added 3" of depth -- it's one HOT running machine now!!
Anyway - pictures tell the story
HH all
