Well, here is the culmination of a couple of hunts. I removed the really junky stuff and only included the stuff that was mildly interesting to interesting.

See the foot. (I did find something over a foot...I just don't remember what it was!) :P


I found this on the edge of a yard that dropped off steeply to a retaining wall. It was 'only one' of a handful of silver coins that I have ever found, and a HALF DOLLAR to boot!!! I was super stoked!!! Mastereagle was with me and watched me remove it from the plug. He is currently seeing a psychologist over the event. :tard:

He was actually happy for me and looked kinda like this when he said "Congratulations":

I'd like to know about those tack looking thigs too...I find them a lot around homes, mainly right up next to them. They aren't pointed, they haven't been hit on the head (the thin soft copper would show a hammer mark), and they are all bent in the same spot at the same angle. I get frustrated when I find them because I can't figure them out. I found some this past weekend at a house built in the mid to late '40s...brick house, shingle roof.

Great finds, BB! No doubt about it, ME almost lost all control when you dug up the Walker. :D Can't say I blame him!
