(More Hunted Out Park Finds) 16 Wheats,6 Silvers,1888 IHP, Token Relics And More

[JerV3]

Hey everyone,

Still hitting that old park. Finds have been slower the past few trips though. I'm having troubles with my favorite coil. I won't hunt with the stock coil on the dfx.

I am so sold on the larger coils it's hard to hunt with the stock. So until I get this coil 1400 repaired again I think finds will be down atleast 50 percent. Need alot of coverage in this large heavily hunted areas. The stock takes way to many sweeps to cover the ground.

But I did however come up with a few finds. Nothing rare or really old. Been a slow season for rare coins so far. I'll still get close to 100 silvers this yr. And 50 indians won't be a problem. I'm at that now. But rare dates have been far few and inbetween.

Here is a break down of the finds. 16 wheats no good dates. 3 old 40's jeffersons. 3 1958 10 cent play coins. 1 neat old token with hole in the center. Probably from the 40's or 50's. 1 1918 merc 1 1942 washington. 1 1943 war time nickle. 1 1962 rosie.

Got a nice sterling silver spoon bowl handle missing. Searched for it but didn't come up with the other half. Got a cool little enameled piece of silver that was attached to something at one point. Looks to be gold also. Not sure what it went onto to.

Other than that nothing else to mention. Except this very strange little gun. Not like all the others. This one is made of copper or brass. Has a larger caliber hole than a cap gun would normally have. Is this a mouse gun or something. Or just a really neat toy gun.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

Can You get a close up of the gun? I think it may be a .22 Stinger. (.22 caliber short derringer!)

Also kinda looks like some of the early single shot vest pistols such as the Allen & Wheelock center-hammer type 5A and the Stevens Single Shot Vest Pistol.
You can get an idea of some of these pistols at this site: www.cwslagleantiques.com/index.cfm. Don't really know that much about them, but it is possible.

I'm not that into guns, but that gun you found does look interesting. It looks like the real deal, albeit on a small scale, not a toy.

Jer,
Nice finds. I just started hunting with a small coil then the stock and I've had some really nice results with it. I find that the smaller coil makes me slow down and detect more effectively. I do want to get a bigger coil for farm field hunting but that won't happen until I can build my cash reserve a little.

Good stuff; I know what you mean about the rare coins. It's nice to be spoiled though, right? How many guys would love to find ten silvers a year, let alone a hundred?

"And 50 indians won't be a problem. I'm at that now."

Jer,
I wish I could say that. 50 IH's is fantastic. I love finding those beautiful coins.
Congrats on your recent hunt & the silver haul. Very sweet.

Fantastic digs...

Wow. You got a little of everything there. I like the pocket watch.

 

[olepossum]

not 100% but it looks like a 32 cal parlor pistol no powder used you put a round ball in it pull the hammer back put on a #10 cap and pull the trigger good for hookers and card players used for shooting the fella in the ding ding when he would not pay for sevices rendered or cheating at cards good up to 8 feet any farther and you make the guy mad and just break the skin.

Looks good. Gun is interesting as is the figures. Fun to find that stuff.

Still like that monster coil? I can imagine your arm gets tired after a couple hours hunting with that thing.

You really have a good spot there.
I'm impressed with your coin count.
Nice finds.

Thanks alot everyone for all your comments and help.

Second I would like to say Thank you very much to a women named Marry who I spoke to today in Sweet Home Oregon about the issues with my 1400 coil. No questions asked I'm being sent a brand new coil. I really feel I need to send this women a card and a gift.

So If your out there on Tnet you have made my season alot brighter in alot of ways. To a treasure hunter this is just as good as having found silver coins or some great find alone. I need this coil to perform well at these sites.

Sorry, It took so long to get back to this topic. I've been inbetween my job and kids since I posted. Not to mention all of the chores that need done.

I put up three new pics of the pistol. To try and show size and caliber. Does look like a small round ball 22 32 cal went to this pistol.Some of the pistol is missing. And you know what the hole it was found in still had a crackle when I closed it up. The gun was found in 2 pieces. The trigger and hammer may be in that hole. I'll have to check on that.

It is bent also some. Was found on a path and may have been run over by a horse or buggy at one time. This is some solid metal to be trying to bent without alot of force. Must have had wood handles cause there gone to. Looks to be alot older than most 30's and 40's finds that come out of this area.


MM, any more I have to basically count indians as silver type coin finds. It's really hard to get anything older small denomination in any bulk ammount. So the good old indian a favorite coin for me to find is about as old as I can touch back with consistent sucess.

Yes,

I would like to own every coil guys if I could money pending. These coils aren't cheap. But I do get tiered after awhile with the 1400 but I'll swing it for double old coins. I've compared coils to it finds wise like this. Stock coil three hrs at this park 11 old coins. Next day same site large coil 20 old coins. I have done it time over and over again while out hunting my partners more than 90 percent of the time.

Take care everyone
