Hello everyone. Hope the hunting was good for you all.
Went to my usual spot in the woods for a few hours before the Packers miserable loss today
Found some keepers and a few firsts today and last weekend.
Click on pics for more detail.
Here is what i found last week...
Most of a harmonica (my first) and a Gold colored buckle made to look old.
Most likely modern. Still a rush to find. Broke apart when i hit it with the carrot.. oops.
Had a crazy spill signal. At first i thought it was a bunch silver bars (as we all hope to find buried underground) NOPE! Someone left a ton of strange aluminum hardware...in a pile...buried...next to an old dead tree...? Why me?!?
Now to today.
First good signal turned out to be a dozen old keys in one hole. Someone had a bad day a little while back.
Some of the keys were plain. But 3 were detailed and made in my home town. I Love finding local history.
Next keeper was a crucifix from a rosary with a few beads still attached (my first) and it was gold plated at one point.
Kept walking along this small ridge. Found what i believe to be a part of a pocket watch (my first) Silver plated over brass i think.
On the surface was this chrome plated thing. I think its a gas cap door off an old car possibly?
Here is where i lost the spray bottle and broke my spade digging a BIKE PUMP in the middle of nowhere 6 inches down! Too frustrated to take pics or carry it with me. Ill grab it when i search for the spray bottle next time.
Another first for me. Silver plated spoon (French Plate on bottom) Very short in length, possibly a baby or tea spoon. I like the fancy on it.
Had an awesome scare when i dug this one. 1930s Cracker Jack Token. Totally thought it was a Barber Quarter when it popped out.
(i know the bust is the other way)
Of course the silver face covered in dirt was the first thing i saw.. Still glad i found it. Maybe more rare than a Barber
Here is the lead and shells for the day. 2 deer slugs. 6 wad cutters. 1 UMC&CO New Club. 1 .22 casing.
Here is the board for the last 2 weeks. Had a lot of fun freezing in the woods
Here is an update on one of the axe heads i found a few weeks ago. This one has been in vinegar for about a week with frequent rubbings with toothbrush.
Sorry about the random attachment :/
Good luck to all and Happy Hunting!
Thanks for looking!
