Detected about 6 hours this weekend on three different fields. Friday I detected a new field that has just been plowed, it has been a feed field for years and I was surprised to see it plowed and I was not allowed to detect it until now. It produced nothing other than a few pieces of trash. Saturday I did a night hunt on another field, very muddy but made a few finds. Sunday was a miserable rainy cold day so I did a grass field for about 2 hours. I wasn’t going to go out but, thought about the freezing weather rapidly approaching and how snowbound I will be. The field pictured below is from Friday, a stork was hanging out and didn’t seem to mind me at all and yes, that is snow!
Here’s the finds. A nice little blue glass bead, have found maybe 10 this year, all blue and they range in age from 2000 years old to 300-400 years old.
A few relics, upper left to right is part of a heel plate, a whatsit, part of a buckle that looks like a T, a crusty button, a flattened aluminum container that I find many of, an aluminum thimble and two musket balls.
A 1925 Pfennig and the only coin find, a copper disk with a rivet hole, an aluminum seal, a large button with the word London on it and a small piece of brass with a hand made design on it.
A better view of the hand made design, initials HVC, I wonder what it was?
Obverse of a small locket I found Sunday, it was about 10” down.
Reverse of the locket, took the pics before I opened it as I thought I would break it or mutilate it somehow.
The locket opened much easier than I expected and I did not harm it. Inside is a little nasty, I thought it looked like roots and dirt but at a closer glance, it is the remnants of rotted wood with a very small pin. The pin is at the middle top.
The little pin, no gold coins, LOL! Thanks for looking and HH, Mike

Now why would anyone carry a piece of wood in a locket? If I let my imagination run wild, like it dosn't anyway, I might think someone had a piece of the True Cross, or maybe just a piece of wood from the hull of a ship, or maybe the box her/his parent was burried in. Don't you love the questions some of our finds bring up? Any idea as to the age of the locket. Looks older then the Northwest has been populated by us European interlopers. HH Stan...
