So I met up with 3cybill last week and we went out exploring and detecting. It was 45 or 50 degrees out, but the ground was still frozen solid. We can across a crazy huge cellar hole that still had a huge stone wall standing. The wall was at least 20 feet high. Any ways bouncing around through out the day lead to these finds. The large plate is a new york state automobile association plate missing the center plate (center might have had town or county?). I think its from the 1920's from when I originally looked it up, but I can't find it online at the moment. also pulled the one indian head that was toasted. Thanks for checking it out. 20180111_090949_resized.jpg 20180117_105726_resized.jpg 20180117_105901_resized.jpg

Well done getting out and recoveries doing the ground chipping. Might be a spot to return in the spring.

Nice work battling the cold. I went scouting for a new seller whole once and found it while there was still a couple inches of snow and frozen ground got a really great signal managed to pry up the chunk of dirt and wound up taking the whole hunk of dirt home with me to thaw it out LOL turned out to be a copper washer I so thought it was going to be a coin
