Besides my regular parks and playgrounds, I tried going into the woods this week but I didn't drive out to the country. There are wooded areas here in my city. My research has been paying off because in one of those wooded areas I found the foundation to an old building, maybe from the 40s. So far, from my 3 wooded spots this week I found a little money, a Timex watch, some old bottles but no silver yet. The mosquitoes at all of the locations have been as bad as I have ever seen them. I am probably going to have to wait until winter before going back to these places.
At a different location yesterday I found a blue marble, or at least that is what I think it is. It is different from any marble I have ever seen. It was found in the same area as the other marbles in the third picture. I have been watching too many metal detecting videos because at first glance I was thinking musket ball!
Today we had got a little rain and right when it was letting up, I headed out to a piece of land a few miles away. I am fortunate that I live near the older parts of town. I was there a few minutes and I found some trash and a few pennies. I was starting to question myself. The mosquitoes were not as bad as in the woods but they were still biting me bad. I decided to circle around an old oak and sitting right on top of the soil was the merc. I did not have to dig at all. That is the first time that has happened to me. I have done that with wheat pennies, but never with silver.
What can I say, research pays off. It is a 1917 S. I know, so close!
