This is a compilation of several short hunts over the last couple of days. Not much to write home about. $3.88 in clad, a nice 1902 IHP, 11 wheat pennies dated from 1911 to 1958. The shiny ones had to IMG_0296.JPG IMG_0297.JPG IMG_0299.JPG IMG_0300.JPG IMG_0301.JPG IMG_0302.JPG have electrolysis to even tell what they were. The ground they came out of destroys copper and I couldn't even identify what they were with normal cleaning methods. They were toasted to begin with, so nothing ventured, nothing gained. The artifact picture has 2 rifle casings, 32-40, and 45-70 calibers. The round tag is a coal miners tag found at my wife's grandmothers old homestead. She raised a herd of kids and the boys all worked the coal mines. They all died of blacklung and cancer, from Radon gas and coal dust. The next 3 items are whatsit items and any thoughts would be helpful. The miniature pick head is an exact duplicate of a full size pick. The old green marble was in a hole with a wheat penny and I believe it is really old. The ring is an Avon junker. Last but not least is a 1948 Huntingdon, Pa dog license. If I showed all the junk that was dug during these hunts it would be a huge pile. Happy hunting and keep on swinging.

I see nothing wrong in consolidating hunts. Makes the results easier. Congrats on the 1902 IHC, and all of the wheaties. Could you tell what dates the wheats were?

I could tell the dates on the wheats all except one. As I said the shiny ones were given electrolosys so I could tell what they were. I don't like to do that as it gives them a new copper look.

I wonder how many have dug pennies until they were just about to give up in frustration when a nice lil ring shows up? Same signal, big surprise.

Looks like a fine couple of hunts.

Beautiful green IHC!

I have information for you on that marble. I recognize that thing because I hunt in an old "mill town", and I find them from time to time. It took me a while to figure out exactly what they were.

They are the raw material for making fiber glass: Collection Search | Corning Museum of Glass

Best of luck to you sir!

Thank you for the info. I had no idea what it was other than a big marble.

Some people think I am wasting my time digging all the penny signals, but as you said they are not always pennies. The IHP came up on the AT Pro in the low 70's. I have also found rings thinking they were pennies. I dig all mid tones as well, if they are a good solid tone.
