PICTURE HEAVY!!
Just getting in a hunt here and there for a hour or maybe grabbing a few hours at the end of the day and making every hunt close to home to cut down on the traveling times. So the first one is off my property had a hour to hunt before dark, and I hit an area that I thought everything was taken and this little fellow popped up.
I went to a cellar hole that really never produced and I got down and dirty, detected it with the 5" coil, then got down on my knees with the pinpointer and a magnet for a total of 5 hrs over two days hard won finds from this one, place looked like it might of burnt, or it's been used as a burn pit. The round nails were on top of the square nails and the finds are mixed below that. Managed a couple of little brass rings, the one top fell apart when I washed it up.
I stopped on the way home from doing some chores and this one cellar hole has given up a few finds over the years. On arrival I discovered the good field was planted in alpha and that left the corn field, so I thought why not try it as it has given up a LC or two. Sort of glad the discing was kind and it turned it over just enough to grab these in a short 1/2 hr, then I did another 1 1/2 hr was trying to get more but nothing. 1917 fish scale (2nd one of the season) 1880 LC, 1910 LC, 1886 Half Penny, and when I dug the maple leaf pin I thought now that's a fitting find on a beautiful fall day.
This next hunting spot is turning up some nice finds, close by, new permission from a farmer that hates folks even turning in their driveway but took a shining to me.
First hunt was a quick scouting around the homesite.
Went back and it didn't produce anything worth posting. So I returned the day before yesterday and it was pretty good little hunt, so I'm glad I tried an area that the farmer said there wasn't a home, WRONG! A cool dozen buttons and a disliked 1815 token, these were the really frowned upon at the time because of the screaming eagle. 4 nice stems three with maker's marks, rosette, keyhole cover, thimble, cane band? and a barrel tap, OH YA! 1942 OD nickel that I thought was a button.
I stopped there yesterday for another go in the soya field and it turned up some nice keepers. Dave ID the one as being a sling buckle.The one handle has Parker & Co. written on it.Bit of big lead and a lead stylus? It was time to ring out and head home.
