Well I cleaned the Watch cover. Had to use electrolysis. It cleaned up better than I thought it
would. I thought for sure it was silver, but nope, I'm thinking now that it must be Rose Gold. Inside
of the watch cover is a number. I'll include the picture of the number.

Hope your January has been a good one. Looks like I'll be looking for a woods to hunt, with a lot
of leaves. LOL. The snow has been falling for 3 days here in NW Ohio and now it's supposed to get
really cold.

I did get out Saturday for about 2 hours looking for a guys glasses, but only found a beer can and
a buckle. Never did find the glasses. They were titanium so very hard to find. Only my F75 would give a signal on them and then they came in at 12 or 13 on the meter. I tried my pair of glasses.

Have a good one, Ringfinder



Gary my hunting partner and I got out one last time before the end of the year. Weather finally got up to 46 degrees. We haunted 6 old one room school house sites. Everyone of them had a lot of MUD around them. But we still came away with a few finds.

Gary found two Mercury's 1926 & 1940, two IH's 1897 & 1902 and a really neat token
Foster Martin Hardware Stoves, Grand Rapids Mich.

I found a Mercury dime 1945, two IH's 1890 & 1903, a Clay marble, 2 rim fire shells, they have US on the bottom of them and one bullet, think it came out of one of the shells. Also dug a button and a really neat Watch cover with a Sail ship engraved on it.

We both had a good day, really muddy, but had fun. Was glad to get out and hunt!

HH, Ringfinder

Thanks Guy, Same to you. Hey you ever take your detector with you while your trucking. I have my
CDL, if you need a driver. LOL

Thanks Fortball9, we always have fun hunting together. Sometimes we don't find much, but we
usually make up for it. LOL

Nice last hunt! That watch cover looks like it could be silver. HH, Mike

Great way to end the year Ron. I guess it is warmer down here in Dayton; so we can still get out. If we get some snow, we can did through it. But, if it turns cold and ground freezes, yup...that's it for this winter.

The IH are nice and that token is very interesting. Looks like you proved the old saying--a place is never hunted out.

Looks like a great day. I need to start looking up more old school sites.

Nice digs :thumbsup:
 

Re: One Last Muddy day Hunt for the year here in Ohio!

Congratulations on some nice digs. That token was produced between 1855 and 1861. It catalogues for $6.50 in fine condition in my 1999 book, but to me, if I found it, it would be worth much more than that. I really like that one. Have a happy and successful New Year. :thumbsup:

Not sure if it is silver or not. There aren't any markings in the inside, which kind of surprises me. I'll
see if I can clean it up some.

Now if I had your backhoe I could really do some damage. LOL Gary and I just got out my old book
on old one room school houses, one that I made from five counties and all the townships in each county and all from the 1860's. We started at one and just kept going every two miles and looked for the site. Some of the sites were in so much Mud, that we just went on. Now get to the Library and do some research this winter.

Got that right on never hunted out. Guess maybe Gary and I need to drive down to Dayton. Actually we were thinking of taking a drive to Tenn. and maybe doing some CW relic hunting. Guess we got to hope for the best, but I kind of think, that old man winter is going to get us sooner than later.

Thanks for the comment Denver, see you use a ACE 250, you ever find a Gold Nugget with the ACE?
Best of Luck to you in '09 also.
