Howdy Folks. I was not able to detect for a few weeks due to the flu, and my Tesoro in the shop for a tuneup. I was having withdrawals, so I cashed in $200 worth of my coins, and bought another Tesoro Silver Umax as a backup. 
During my down time, I came up with a flyer about myself, what my hobby is, and my contact info. I then hand selected about five old properties that I wanted to get permission to hunt, and attached them to the mailboxes, and included a self-addressed stamped envelope. *If anyone would like to see the flyer, just PM me.
Within 4 days I had an interested party. It is the plantation house you see pictured. I brought over my relic cases to show them what I have found just in this last year. They were very impressed.
This house was built in 1820, and sitting on 30+ acres. It has all the makings of a great hunting spot. Huge trees, old outbuildings, old CW road on the property, slave shack, horse pasture, woods, etc. I was told General Joseph E. Johnston and his troops camped on this spot in April, 1865 on their way from Raleigh to Durham.
I was just praying that no one had hit it before, and I went there today at lunch for my maiden voyage. It looks like I'm in luck! What you see, I found very quickly within an hour. The 35' buffalo nickel was a real treat. I'll be headed back there this w/end for my first long hunt.
My finds today were:
*1935 Buffalo Nickel
*1927, 54, & 55 Wheats.
*24mm Flat button - no back mark
*Asst'd bullets -
One says "F" "A" "30" on the bottom. Any idea what it is & how old?
One some lead bullet with two rings- Age? Type?
*One arrow tip, and another one that I don't know if it is an arrow tip or a bullet? It has a solid, not hollow bottom and a missing piece at the very tip. Bullet or arrow?
*A headless cast metal horse.
*An old marble. Duffy, are you out there? Any idea on this one?
*Two "WHATS IT's" - Any ideas?
One says "The Dill Mfg Co. Cleve. O. Pat. July 13,1915".
The other piece has a wire through it and says " Press 1-6A-P Groove P"
A great start to a neat new MDing spot. Come on silver!!!
Thanks for looking,
