Yesterday, I had the privilege of detecting with two other TN members. Mirage (Bob), who traveled down from Ohio with his wife to enjoy a weekend of this wonderful NC weather, and of course my company. 
DD-777 (Andy) also drove over to hunt with us.
Poor Andy got so sunburned that he looked like a tick ready to pop!
We hit two Colonial properties, and two old houses in town. It was a bit of a rush hunting though, because I wanted them to have a shot at each spot. Unfortunately, the finds were minimal, but the fun was something I'll cherish. Thanks guys!
The highlight of my finds was a 1906 IH and six wheats (oldest was a 1918).
Whoopie!!!
I just finished up two more displays that will be put up at the one Colonial property I detect at.
The bottles some of you may recall were dug up by NC Joe a few weeks back at the Colonial house. He was generous enough to donate them to the owner. I filled them with different colored dyed water to set them off, sealed them, and then glued them in place onto a rustic display shelf I made out of old wood. I threw a few skeleton keys in too for that old effect.
The rusty farm relics I brushed off a bit, sprayed them with a stop-rust spray, and nailed them in place onto a weathered piece of wood.
I think they look great grouped together.
Have a great week,
MM

They said it has "active corrosion". Unbelievable!!! When I got the coin back I soaked it in distilled water for a day, then cleaned it lightly with a Q-tip. This coin looks better than any IH I have, so the "active corrosion" has me puzzled.
