Nice Hunt With Some Silver

[Carolina Tom]

I was off of work today, so I took the detector out for a ride in the truck. We stopped at several empty lots, where the houses have been torn down, as well as a couple of public places.

I dug a lot of modern coins, and assorted other targets.



This target was deep and made a nice tone. It’s half dollar size, and has a reeded edge, however... it turned out to be an aluminum bicentennial token. Bazinga. Heartbreaker.



This looked good too, bigger than a quarter, and heavy... turned out to be a Mexican coin from 1970, bazinga again.



Please chime in if you can ID this little metal hand. Some red paint remains on it.



I never find anything old, but I believe that this is a colonial shoe buckle frame. There is a place on the back of the smaller piece, where the pin would have gone. Please chime in, if you know better.



When this clod of dirt popped out, I was glad to see a silver disc. I flicked the mud off of it, and sure enough, silver dime.



A half dozen wheaties, and a ‘39 dime were the best coins I could find.



This target made a sweet sound, and as soon as I saw it, I knew why.



Here is a pic of all of the goodies.



Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts.

[Joe-Dirt]

Nice hunt!! That ring is a honker, I kinda like the bazingas too

 

[xcopperstax]

That looks like a great hunt despite the bazinga count. I would have been so excited and let down to find that aluminum token. The reeded edge would make me 100% certain that I had found silver! I'd agree that it's a shoe buckle frame congrats on the finds!

 

[Argentium]

I forgot to mention your nice , fat , sterling ring , that always makes my day to find a "fatty " like that !
