Just a quick post here before i head out for a day of hunting.
All this week my job has had me working evening shift. The good thing about it is, i get to take a couple hours a day for hunting.
The bad part is, i have not seen my wife for a week. Well, i see her sleeping when i get home and she notices someone in her bed when she wakes up in the morning.
Anyhow, on Wednesday i got lazy and decided to stay close to home for my detecting. I took an hour and walked across the street to a body of water that my neighborhood was built around. Its a pretty little pond/lake that the association keeps up.
All i can say is...those lead sinkers sure sound good!
One of the last things i found was this badge. I believe its a toy badge but not sure of its age.
I know the water was here long before the neighborhood so your guess is as good as mine. I am thinking
50s or 60s?
Yesterday, i spent 4 hours at one of my permissions digging nothing but crappy signals. All the good sounding ones went away long ago.
My favorite find of the day was this Fatty Indian. When i dug it up, i didn't know what i had. I had already dug one Indian (1907) but this coin was thick like a nickel and even rang up like a nickel. The date is 1862, my oldest U.S. Coin to date.
Now i have to figure out how to clean it without destroying it!
Finally, here is a picture my past two days of hunting.
A few clad, some fishing items, a pot metal pendent, and 5 wheat's dating from the early teens to 1944
HH everyone!
