Short hunt after work at the park I got the 50cent piece. Wandered the football field finding nothing but modern grot. So I went walkies in the woods near the creek and stumbled on some big game.

Brass tag from old radio set, I think. Atwater Kent. Arthur Atwater Kent, Sr. (1873-1949) was an inventor and prominent radio manufacturer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States of America. In 1921, he patented the modern form of the automobile ignition coil. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._Atwater_Kent

1962 Elizabeth penny. Oldest found today unfort, BUT....it was in the woods. Chance of silver, I'll be back! :laughing7:


And the big game I mentioned....well....I was working my way along the creek bank and started back up a path. Was finding alot of junk, people dumped their trash in the woods in the old days. Anway...I got a solid 92 signal. First thing through my head was...SILVER! Then I raised the coilhead and the signal faded at 8". Hopes went down then, but the depth on the PP said, 2" so I thought, ok maybe a silver dollar or 50cent piece. So I started digging.....SUDDENLY this Antelope comes crashing out of the hole and nearly scares me to death. :o

Antelope bookend. Dunno where the other one is, he was alone in the woods. Too bad it's pewter or something. Not silver.
