I went to work for a couple hours and then picked up my Dad to head to a 70th reunion luncheon for Poly grads(his high school class from the '40s).
Had a great time with these men who are all a generation ahead of me.
Got my Dad back and visited with him and my Mom for awhile. Left about 4 and headed up the road from Parkville to Belair for a few hour hunt.
Started out with a clad quarter and then moved into the woods only to get a solid 85 signal. That '85' was a 3-inch deep 1964 quarter. A little further into the wood I dug a 1918 dog tag, then a shotgun shell. Poked around the wood not finding much more and then exited back on the grassy area where it wasn't long 'til I dug a high sixties signal, a flat button. Not much longer after that, but on leaving and swinging my way back to the truck, I dug another flat button. It wasn't until I got home and cleaned the buttons that I found the first one had a distinct backmark. Turns out it is an Andrew Jackson Inaugural button, stating "Andrew Jackson March 4 1829". This is my first presidential anything find!
After a hunt like this I'm not inclined to head back to Baltimore City anytime soon.
