Ghost Town Hunt

[doyboy]

Blitz, Zoyboy, and I got out to the ghost town today. I wanted to detect in an area that looked promising. After reading the map of the town from Zoyboy's research folder, I came to the conclusion that there was a home where I was going to be. This area is all totally wooded over now. So, while swinging for about 30 minutes with no finds, I happened to notice a small pathway that led down to a small stream. I started to detect it, and once it started to slope down, I soon got a nice 50 VDI reading that sounded nicely through my headphones. The target pinpointed at 1.5". I dug a small hole and was happy to see a coin in the soil. It turned out to be a 1903 Indian Head (33rd of the year). This coin was probably lost by a person that was sitting on the slope under the shade of the trees.

About an hour later, I got a 40-42 VDI reading that pinpointed at 2.5". It turned out to be an military buckle or pin. Does anyone know what timeframe this is from? It looks to be old, but I have no clue to the origin. HH!

Nice finds, I think that pin is an adjustment tool for a military weapon. HH, Mike

Cool stuffs! On the US medal, can you tell us what is printed on it, below the the "US"? Looks like "6 Bu." something...

Maybe if you lightly dampen the pin, the pics will show the writing a little better. I would like to see a pic of the back as well. I will get back with you with info if possible .
