day 3: 1720 parcel, wheat, IH, button, long gone doggie & spoon

[port ewen ace]

still no stinkin' silver coinsfound a large IRON spoon that I gave to the owner, plus his sister had a dog named Annie that passed a few years ago. pretty pink heart tag with 2 phone #'s, that was returned to owner. then a 1928 NY dog tag, 3 wheats, part of pocket knife, another button with loop. last hole of the day was a slamming iron hit that went to a chirp at every pass---hey, gotta dig this one since it was bouncing up to 86 VDI. at 6 inches. living above some big a$$ ironthe 1865 IHP. powered down & showed my host the take for the day and gave him the items that needed to stay at this historic home. also bagged a buck in clad back today---in search of at least a Rosie or Merc. but I will settle for any Colon--or a GW button, since he was on this road as the story goes--congrats I think, (or a Homer strangling Bart) to whoever scored all the TREASURE this land held back in the 1980's cause they dug all the silvers

Clear your head, and just know that you're going to dig silver, it will happen. I'd much rather dig an indian than a merc or silver rosie.

Some interesting finds. The pocket knife looks like it has a wooden handle? Any brand name on that one? And I can't help but comment that I like the dog tag. I found my oldest one ever just a week ago - 1919! These older tags were made of copper or brass and give off a great signal! I've tried to find some local info here in VA as to when dog tags were first required, but have found nothing yet. Thanks for sharing!

You are digging very cool relics (knife and dog tag)! Congratualtions!

Keep at it, there is silver waiting for you to find, probably hiding under some iron!

Nice stuff congrats

 

[Captain Caveman]

Congratz on some nice finds! I'm sorry that you're not finding Silver, but enjoy the spot while it still has stuff to give. Chances are....there's still a Silver coin or 2 in the ground!

The dog tag is cool and the button certainly proves the site age. Keep hitting it. Congrats!

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Great finds! Congrats!

They didn't get it all. Its there somewhere. Think out side the box. Go for the bushes that look like they have been there for ever, was there an old tree that came down long ago. Go up next to metal fence and work slow. You will come up with the silver!

Hey its always nice to find those old dog tags. Nice job.

Keep the faith. That silver coin is just waiting for you ...along with all of its brothers and sisters. You're just a swing or two away.

I'm telling you Rich. I set up my vegetable stand right there on the corner in 1966 and 1967 so that is where the silver will be located. Right in among all that trash. I stopped setting up and selling produce there because the farmer finally caught me sneaking into his fields at night securing my fresh produce for the following day. But I had a good run for 2 years....LOL

thanks BEEZ, still think my 1970 LT-1 4 speed Vette would have left your Goat with tears in her eyes. we plan on scouting the woods at the end of your former home street, where you partied like it was 1969___you wild man :----). Frank dug foil wrappers for those latex thingys on the corner___EWWWW!!!

I see more than one find there that would be as satisfying to find as a silver coin............. But then I also get a lift out of an old marble in good shape. I guess it depends on what rings your bell.
