I went detecting today on the old plantation up in the woods not far from where I live. I had to beat my way through all the underbrush just to get to an area where I could swing the detector. It was an old Turpentine plantation with apple orchards. As it sits, many new trees had sprung up over time and it's become something of a forest again. There's an area I want to get to that I've been before where they had moved all the big quartz boulders off to one side along an old fence line and there's an old bottle dump there as well. Here's what I found today while MDing in the forest. It was really hot and humid in there so I only played around for about an hour. Anyway, I first found a broken horse shoe. Then what appears to be an old knife as it has the blood groove but is so very pitted it's hard to tell. Otherwise it may be an old rasp, or part of a broken Sword or sword bayonet maybe? I then found an old shotgun base about 8" down in hard clay. I thought it was a coin at first but...., I'm thinking old. Lastly I found an old modern bullet at about 6". This old cork bottle was just barely sticking out with only a little of the bottom edge showing. It's not all terribly exciting but it's the first stuff I've found in a while and the first from my AT Pro. I'm going back there tomorrow so stay tuned....
Thanks, and yes I filled all my holes...
