Hey my friends! I know I haven't posted in a while but I finally got out today and dug for a few hours.....I didn't really find much but it was still nice to get out for some much needed leisure....

Went out to our old family farm property and the ground there was HARD....We really need some rain, so I did not stay there for very long....

First find I came across was this 1950's Stanley Home Aluminum Coaster...

I left from the farm and went to my Maw Maw & Paw Paw's house, drank a few beers and did some detecting around their yard....An old home used to sit where their home is now.......These were my finds...

- Monopoly game piece hat....
- Interesting broach...
- Merchantile Token
- Presto Mason Jar lid
- St. Joseph's Asprin tin.


Definitely going back to Maw Maw & Paw Paw's one evening this week to do some more detecting!

Interesting finds. The coaster is pretty cool.

Is the ground hard from heat and just being dry? It's funny what a difference 1000 miles makes. Here the ground has been hard because it has been frozen solid. But, we're pretty much past that now, finally !!! though it was 26 degrees this morning.

Good luck with your return visit !!!

The hard ground is from lack of rain....I am hoping it pours within the next couple of months !

Wow we have a lot in common. I noticed you are a Court Clerk and I am a Policeman. We are both in Texas and both Metal Detect. I know about the hard ground. I often laugh at some of the Diggers I see. I will have to send you a picture of my super secret Texas Dirt digger. It is custom made. (A straight claw hammer with a Hardened metal blade welded on to the claws) Please don't let this out though I may patent it some day.

Nothing wrong with those nails... they scream "I ain't no girly girl and dirt don't scare me" :laughing7: Just getting out and detecting is great for un-winding. Also, cherish your time with your grandparents, I would love to be able to visit with mine again. HH and good luck.

Nice finds you have there. You are right there should be better finds around the old place. Good luck on you hunts there. Looking forward to seeing what you find. I've got a trip to Del Rio on a hunt this weekend. I hope it turns out good. Happy hunting, and good luck...
