I Think I Found Hugh Hefner's Long Lost Ring...Bunnies, Unicorns, a Wheatie & More...
I had an interesting hunt today. I went back to the field that's been giving up a few good things lately.
I spent the first hour digging mostly trash; primarily pull tabs. There are thousands of them. I'm trying to get this place cleaned out so I can search for low lying treasure.
So I moved to another area and started swinging and digging more trash, a few nickels and other clad. I got a really bouncy hit and dug up this little guy.....
It's a junk unicorn charm but it's in fairly good shape. I think it may even be made of lead. It's really soft and bends easily. Maybe it's old.
Then I got a nice high hit and dug this.....
...... a 1921 Wheatie. It's the oldest coin I ever dug at this spot. My little hunting buddy still holds the record with the 1895 V Nick' she dug last week.
Then I decided to hit a very overgrown area I haven't hit too hard. Now that the weeds are all dying I can get back there a bit farther.
I got a massive high hit; a solid 84. I almost didn't dig it because I figured it was probably another aluminum can. I've probably pulled 100 of them from this place. I raised my coil over a foot and it was still screaming. But, the eyes are the only true discrimination so I dug it anyway..........
...and I'm glad I did.
This is the heaviest silver I've ever dug and ring # 49. It cleaned up real nice.
I also posted yesterday about a miniature sword hilt I wasn't able to post a picture of.
Here it is.....
I hunted around for the rest of it but had no luck.
I thought it was brass but it didn't clean up very well. It's toastier than I thought.
It's also a bit strange because it's too small to be part of a real weapon yet too big for the average action figure. So, I have no clue what this size sword would be used for.
If anyone has any clue I'm all ears.
But overall, a pretty good little hunt.
I dug about 80% trash today; mostly intentionally. I just have one of those feelings there's more treasure hiding in the really trashy areas and I'm determined to find out; even if it takes me until next year (or longer).
No gold showed up but I was real happy with what did. I hunted under an almost full moon for a while before calling it quits. It was another beautiful night out there. If I didn't have to get up early tomorrow I would have stayed a bit longer.
That's about it.
Thanks for looking & HH......
