Hello again everybody,
It is 99 degrees here so I thought I?d stay inside and do some pics and scanning of my best finds from my first month in my yard with my new DFX. I just started metal detecting with a White?s Prizm IV this year in April and I got ?the BUG? right away Since I was finding a lot of neat items from the get go. After about six weeks I upgraded to the DFX (the detector I really wanted in the first place.). I got the new machine one month ago yesterday. I got Jeff Fosters book ?Digging Deeper with the DFX? and did lots of research on a few forums including this one. Thanks to all the great folks who helped me by answering my many questions. I am finally starting to understand the DFX?..on with the show.
The first pic is an aerial shot of my house given to us by the woman we bought the place from. Main part of the house was built in 1758 and used to have a normal gabel roof. There was a foundation dug at some point in its history but the floor joists are still logs. A few even have the bark still on them.
The rest of the pics are of my finds. These were all dug in the last month from my yard or the small lot( 30? x 30? ) next door. Included are my very favorites such as the cameo brooch that has a estimated age of about 150 years old. My first ever silver, 2 Mercury dimes found on the same day. My first V nickels both 1904 and found on the same day.
My first 2 indian head pennies 1901 and 1897(WAAHOOO!) you guessed it both found on the same day. First standing liberty quarter. It has no date but I still think it is gorgeous. I was hoping to find 2 of those on the same day too but I guess my doubles streak had to end sooner or later. A Boy Scouts watch fob that dates to 1910 (the year the scouts started in the U.S.) A Maine Turnpike commemorative fob from 1947 when the first 45 miles of the highway opened from Kittery to Portland and many more goodies. I am having a blast with this new hobby and I am looking forward to many years of searching for the long lost whispers of history?s voice.
Thanks for checking out my post.
