What should of been about an 8 hour hunt, ended up as about a 4 hour hunt. I slept in. Shame on me. ;D
My third trip to new new plantation spot turned up a few things, but nothing fantastic yet. I started out by the old tenant (slave) house in the woods. All that is left are a deep sunken hole, foundation stones, and a crumbled chimney (pictured). Also pictured are one of the huge oaks by this tenant house, and a deep open well. This all sits very close to a deep dry river bed. There is a LOT of metal and old jars/bottles around this area. I will have to spend a lot of time around there later.
After about 30 minutes, I went back in front of the main plantation house and spent the rest of my day gridding off 1/2 of the front yard. My only coins found on this side were wheats so far. (My Buff nickel & Barber dime I found earlier this week were found on the other half of the yard)
My regular machine with the DD web coil should be back from the shop this week, so hopefully I can start hitting some more silver when I get it back. I'm using a new Silver Umax with stock 8" coil so far.
My coolest find for the day was an old watch FOB.
Here's my 4 hour hunt:

*Watch FOB- Says "Bro-Mal-Gine for headaches. Does not depress the heart."
Any idea on the age of this one?

*Wheats- 1915D , 1917 , 1936 , 1937 , 1941 , 1946 , 1958.

*Found by tenant house in woods: Truck gas cap , Tootsietoy , Green bottle, Large wagon or horse equip piece.
Any idea what the wagon/horse piece is? Age?
Any idea on the green bottle? It only says "4/5 Pint" on it.

*Brass "Royal" padlock.

*Gold plated jewelry pin piece.

*Odds & ends.

Thanks for looking & any help on the ID's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MM

I love you... :-* :-* :-*

If it was not for you...I would need to be committed...
Great fob...Just SUPERIOR...
ROCK-ON,
Nick

Thanks Nick. I love you too Man. :-* :-* :-*
That FOB was a FOB-ulous dig. At first I saw a large dark round object, and thought it was a coin. ::)
I'm still looking for that elusive 1980's ChuckE Cheese token for the year. ;)

That photo will always live in the hearts and minds of detectorists from all corners of the globe :o

Keep it coming MM, there's lots of ground there and I know your heart starts to race as you pull up to the property..mine would too..take your time and just enjoy the experience, those opportunities don't come around very often.

Good luck,

Thanks Buddy.
I noticed no one has wanted to hunt with me since that picture. I don't know why? Wrong shade of lipstick maybe? ;D

You're right. It is very cool to pull up to an old historic spot like this and realize that CW troops stood here too way back when.
Hopefully, I can get a longer hunt in this w/end.
HH,
MM

That's in amazing shape for such an early fob, mine tend to be dug burnt, bent, or butt ugly. Kudos!
