I had a "shell" of a day.. Silver, Wheats, V nickle, broach and more

Just got back from a long road trip....... 6500 miles worth. So you know what I had to do!! It was hot here in Ohio today. 86. 2 degree's shy of the record. I'll take it. And I did. I went back to the 1900's old farm land that I have did pretty good so far. I worked it hard with max sensitivity as the area is clean from modern trash. I like it that way. My first dig was a 1943 merc. It was near a plug I had dug before. My next dig was a V nickle. I love finding them when they are there. Kind of rusty looking but I'll take it. Found 4 old shot shell brass ends. , some kind of weird broach, a gas valve, a 1914 wheat and a cut up 1943. Found some kind of tag, and a piece of jewelery. Looks like gold but who knows???? This site has produced a bunch of old wheat's, 7 silver coins and some cool relics. I've about got it cleaned out. I need to find a new place. Thanks for looking at my humble finds :-[ Ron

You done good!

Your unknown tag item might be some type of bird leg band. Just a WAG.

Hey, nice finds Ron, I got 3 of those crazy metal things yesterday, not sure what they are yet.

Looks like a pretty neat farm. Been thinking about you and how your son is doing. He get a
place yet to live?

Well take care, I'm getting ready to head out to a old ghost town and hunt today.

A few times but I'll hit it a few more times. Looks like a good shade tree to take a nap after a hard days work up in the old hay loft :D

That has been a good spot.

I am sure there are more interesting finds to be had. Work it a little bit with a DFX, and take your time in doing it.

It looks quiet on the farm, you should be safe from the oncoming metal detector hordes, at least for a little while.

Actually it's a very quiet place. A small country road goes by but not traveled much at all. Love working those kind of places :icon_sunny:
