Best Finds...So Far...

[NcHillbilly]

I'm new to metal detecting, just got my first machine (ACE 250) for my birthday in Sept. Still, I've found some really cool stuff mostly in my own yard.

First, this hoe head came out of my garden.


Then, at an abandoned home a few miles away I found these old shotgun shells. The Winchester was manufactured between 1894 and 1904, the Remington stopped manufacturing in 1937.


At that same spot I found this hubcap, it's off a 1930ish Hudson Terraplane which is the old gangster type car.


Back in my own front yard I found this Union Eagle "C" button.


Then today I found this watch fob from the 1907 Jamestown Exposition, also right in my own front yard.


And if digging up all that history wasn't enough, I found this Silver Bullet around Christmas...


Not bad for a few months in the hobby...can't wait to see what I pull up next!

That's really neat for your own yard.
(Then) Gangster car Terraplane. (Now) GangstA car Honda Civic. The new bad guys have no moxie.
There will come a time when you won't want to see another shot shell casing. HH.

That is a great bunch of finds. Ironically, the second time I went out with someone, he found the same watch fob. In case you didn't know, 1907 was also the year the world's fair was held in what is now Naval Base Norfolk. I'm working on researching what countries had representatives there (I think it was a significant number of different countries). Great piece!!

After all that fun you couldn't get a REAL Beer? LOL
Lite Beer, for real? Nice finds!
Research is the way to proceed for additional information.
Good luck and if you get a shot of going back over that property go over it very slowly and listen for very faint signals.
DIG EVERY Signal as you need to clear out all the junk as it might be masking some good deep and small items.
