I was able to get out for a short while again today at a couple new spots. Down the freeway from my town I spotted a nice place to plant my coil. After about 15 minutes I got a great signal and proceeded to dig. Up here in Washington things get much muddier than in So. Cal, and so although I knew I had a nice round disc, like a coin, I wasn't quite sure what it was until I started wiping off the mud. Saw the wreaths and, well, you can guess what my first thoughts were!! Well, it didn't turn out to be a large cent but a neat token medallion nonetheless from the W.P. Fullers & Co.s. I found some info on the company (but not the medallion) here: http://content.cdlib.org/view?docId...ghist-1.7.3&query=W. P. FULLER / 10&brand=oac
My next item came from scanning near an old cemetery (not in it, but on the outskirts). About 50 yards away is an old bottle dump, full of hundreds of broken bottles!! One of these days I'll see if I can dig out a few keepers. Anyway, back to my story. I detected for about another fifteen minutes before I hit this next item, what I call a Michelangelo brooch. It probably isn't old but it's definitely a first for me. Never have found anything like it. It even still has the stone set in it. If anybody knows what the copyright JJ means, please let me know.
