The items are grouped as I found them at different locations.
12 o'clock 2 Rosies at a house next door to where I found a 63 Rosie and a 10k gold filled ring.
2 o'clock a 1093 walking liberty half and a Katera Lily of the Mohawks 1950'S pendant, and a wee Turkish coin, 1965.
3 o'clock is a Cub Scouts necktie clasp and 2 Mercury dimes.
4 o'clock is a merc somewhere, an Indian from somewhere, and a PAIR of earings (maybe not silver but I found a PAIR! How cool is that!) from another yard.
I do not log finds, and I didn't know I found an Indian head penny, till I looked over the 70 plus wheat pennies I have found, wondering after I found two others late last week.
6 o'clock is two yards across the street from each other. One had two Mercs and the other one, and a Sterling Cubs BSA ring.
7 o'clock is a 52 quarter, another Mercury, and another from three yards.
9 o'clock was a GEM of a yard. I found a 5 coin spill of 3 quarters and 2 dimes all 1946 to 1951. I also found a mercury dime here, and there, and a 64 quarter. I am not sure what that gold badge is. It is two towers with a door in the middle and "HQ" top center. I wonder if it is a military or VMI thing. Also a strange gold tab, also with a damaged backing. 8 SILVER COINS IN A WEE YARD!
11 o'clock is a Gorham sterling silver spoon, in a yard next to where I found the earrings. In another yard a 1900 Barber Half....
WOW!
7 furious weeks. I have like 90 hours on my first metal detector EVER, a Tesoro Vaquero, recommended by Larry at Big Valley Metal Detectors. I am happy with my first detector, have dug like 77 wheat pennies, a pint of clad dimes, quarters and nickels, and a pint of Memorial Lincolns.
OH! in the middle of the photo is from a 1920's house I am excited about, and currently working. There are 4 empty park like lots associated with it next to a creek, and it hasn't been detected. I have found in two days, a monogrammed sterling ring, WW1 lead toy soldier with machine gun, two Indian pennies, a Merc, and just today a wee cannon toy piece, a 1940 quarter in real good shape, a miniball, and wee round ball, a strange half of a coin(?), and a 1921 Virginia dog tag (one of a few I have found).
It has been fun. I am up to 4 rusty pocket knives, all kinds of whatsits, pounds of iron (but I am getting better at not digging that stuff), and all the while LEARNING. Today I dug about everything, and got a ring, bracelet, and necklace with heart pendant, ALL JUNK! but still.....
All the best and I should have started this 20 years ago!
