I spent most of the day at the in-laws' farm moving very heavy rocks because part of the koi pond collapsed, so I was lucky to get 45 mins of detecting in before it got too dark. Went straight to the old schoolhouse site in the upper yard, and made one pass the length of where the building was. Found more potbellied stove fragments (If this keeps up, I can reassemble the stupid thing!) and some handmade square nails. Figured out why they tore the school down- they lost the key, and couldn't get back in. I got a small hit, started digging, and found half a nail. Was dumping the dirt back in, re-swept the hole, and got another hit. Figured it was the other half of the nail, but sifted thru anyway and found an 1889 V- nickel! Very corroded, but Wahoo anyway!
Lucy came out to see what I was doing, crawling around the yard in the dark. I had several hits from the same hole, and was sifting the dirt. Found 5 more little nails. Was dumping the dirt when she reached down and picked up a flint chip and a broken arrowhead!
Guess changing my Avatar to my firstday-found horseshoe worked!
