ZDD & me on the dusty treasure trail again.

We arrive on site, conditions perfect, though a tad warm. No grass like a herbicide had been sprayed. Between the two of us I think there was a house site there. Dave got a massive skeleton key, and a watch winder among other stuff. I got the juice harp. We wandered off into the deeper grass for a bit, then I came back, and eyeballed the clay pipe piece, then a shoe buckle piece came up. Was thinking at that point something good was about to happen.

Well I did pop out a small silver, had no water so had to wait to see what it was. Then just like a rain shower it all dried up. Still a lot of fun, it shouldn't be forgotten a lot of folks just don't have time to have leisure activities, I am glad to have that luxury.

Haven't emptied the pouch yet, but horse tack, ox shoes, and junk is all I remember putting in it.

I'm thinking some of the goodies have sunk out of range here, the soil quite soft, and I dug holes at least a foot deep a couple of times, one being the decorative brass piece shown.

This is from a previous hunt, wondering if what looks like a triger guard is ? as it was only connected at one end. I don't know, but that is what it looks like to me.

To me a harp is always a good sign... they've come off so many good sites here.

Nice finds Rick, looks like a piece of trigger guard, but tough to say for sure since I can only see one angle. I like the Jews Harp. I have never found a nice one, just rusted iron ones and broken brass ones.

Nice finds Rick. Beautiful harp. I envy you guys that have lots of time. My life is pretty crazy and I always feel pressure that I have to get myself into a great site every time. I'm always Leary of taking a risk on an unproven spot but I do from time to time. Ya win some and ya lose some. Glad to see you and ZDD out enjoying the nice weather

I probably have no more hunts this year than you had.
I do know for what ever amount of time you did have you sure made the most of it, you've had one heck of a first year. Perhaps one of the best. 3 spanish, 2 state coppers, beautiful gold military button, and a buckle collection that would take some a life time to assemble, yep you're doing alright, whaich as I recall said you would.

For the record I was 4 or 5 years getting my first spanish...

Thanks,
Rick

Nice selection of finds Rick, the harps and a little silver are always a welcomed find.
