I’ve owned a detector for several years now but have never really had the time or good permissions to find much. Today was the best day of detecting I’ve had and a great way to finish the year.
My friend owns a house in Lawrence, KS built in 1902, supposedly the first house in the world to be built entirely of Sheetrock as the first owner was the son of a gypsum magnate.
It would have been a mansion in those days and could probably still be considered one today.
Got permission and got out at 9 am, and instantly starting getting good targets. Dug four clad quarters, two 1965’s, a ‘66 and a ‘67 within the first five minutes and knew that today would be a good day.
Several clad’s later I dig up this beauty:

My first Indian Head, and even though I scratched the front digging it I was elated. I got excited but made sure to dig more carefully from then on.
Next quality find was this:

A lucky piece from the Chicago World Fair, made from the aluminum of the new trains being built at the time. I thought it was a piece of junk when it popped out it was so light.
Ok so now I’m getting really excited, and dig another first for me:

My first silver dug, and first mercury dime.
I started sending pics and texting my friends who also like to collect and hunt.
Other firsts included was not one, but two buttons:

Any information on them would be awesome...
Also dug my first what I think is either a belt or shoe buckle, and it was my deepest and most interesting sounding signal of the day. Another first!

And when I thought I couldn’t pop any more cherries out pops my first non modern bullet find.

Any info on the bullet would be awesome too... wondering if it could date to Quantrill’s Raid.
Last interesting fine was this

Not exactly sure what it was, looked like a cap to something?
So yah! Amazing day, and I only covered 1/3 of the yard today in 6 hours. Excited to get back and do the rest!
Thanks guys for always posting amazing stuff! I learn so much from this site and am glad I finally found something post worthy!
