I found myself with a few hours of free time yesterday evening, so I made it out to a spot that may have been a small loading dock, or maybe a ferry landing, in the 1800s to do some detecting. I dug up about $2 in clad, snagged x4 1950s wheat cents (not shown), a mystery item that may be a part to an old phonograph (the trademarked word “Victor” is visible), and a Charles IV Spanish 1 reales.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to get out and do more detecting than I’ve been able to do over the past few months. Anyways, thanks for reading and happy hunting.
