I went hunting today with my hunting partner Joe and on our way to the site we that planed on hunting decided to do a U-turn
right in the middle of the street when we saw construction going on in a well known part of the city. It looked like
city workers had removed most of the brush and bushes from an area about 300 feet X 60 feet. From this area I pulled out
a 1948 silver dime that had a nail stick to it! Also dug out a 1959 silver dime, some wheaties, and a silver earring.
Clad was about $2.00. When Joe and I finished the construction site we headed to the baseball filed. Some of the coins in
the baseball filed were extremely deep, some of them were a sold 8 inches on the meter! I was a little disappointed not finding
any silver coins there. All 7 of the wheaties dug there were all 6 to 8 inches deep! I did manage a silver ring and about $12.00
in clad from the field. So we had a good day, Joe just started metal detecting about a month ago. I'm showing him all the tricks!

Congrats on the nice finds. Just goes to show, never pass up an excavated site. You can usually find older coins since they have become reachable by detectors. 2 weeks ago I hit a site like this and pulled an 1831 large cent that was only 3 inches down. I have pounded that site many times in the the past year and the installation of a new gas main line brought it to within 3 inches of the surface after they dozed the site dirt spoil flat.

That's what I plan to do. I'll leave it alone and place the item in my curio cabinet with all my other unusual finds.

I believe Bulova Made a watch called La Petite. But I don't think this is one.

Nice Finds!
