Wingman Tony and I got out for some detecting today... we needed our "button" fix and thought since it was not going to hit 100 degrees today, that we would skip work and get a hunt in.
Thats my Wingman over my shoulder...
I found some sexy nails...
... also found a few harmonica reed boards, one with curled-up reeds still hanging on, and a little fancy piece-o-sumthin...
... I also eyeballed four buttons and dug the Infantry Eagle button (no back mark)...
Dug some .45-70 shells and rounds...
And of course - some trash.
It ain't a lot - but it beats going to work.
Hope the pics turned out okay.
As always, thanks for looking.
Nice hat MJ...looks like you had a good day...but how the heck do you swing a detector through that grass?....and what"s that building in the background?....love that look wingmans giving you..can just imagine what he's thinking....

That grass looks thicker than it is.
It's an old shed... Wingman Tony dug a crap-load of eagle buttons near there one time.
The look? He's thinking; "Take the damned picture I'm busy!"

in the last pic the pointy thing was a sickel guide off a combine
Yup... sure is... dug that in an area thats held either cows or sheep for the last 60ish years... I regularly find farm equipment trash out there. A wagon trail is not far off either, which also holds some nuts/bolts that shook loose 130 years ago.
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against
you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer,
never give up then for that is just the place and time that
the tide will turn.
That's my problem, I just can't find time for work because I'm out detecting. Some very nice atrifacts you found there. Way to go!
It's better to be thought a fool, then open your mouth and remove all doubt.
The definition of average is the best of the worst, and the worst of the best.
You guys are lovin life...SPECIALLY TONY...Jim what you been feedin that boy...
Nick - Tony don't want for groceries... but most of that is the Barley Pops.

Glad to see you got out to MD.
