Relic kind of day

[Old Dude]

Hi all. Chris and I decided to venture north again in search of some permissions. We met some very nice people and talked with an old friend of Chris's that was good enough to let us hunt on his old property again. Today was coin day for Chris and relics for me. Nothing really old but a couple cool finds for me ~ my first watch winder and the face of an old padlock that still has it's hole cover. Chris kept saying he felt bad because I didn't find any coins older than wheats, but hey, as Brad and Mr. Knopfler says " Somedays you're the bug, Somedays you're the windshield ". Thanks for looking.

That's a pretty sweet watch, and the winder and button are cool too, thanks for a fun hunt!, my video is taking forever to upload, I need to figure out how to speed up the upload process somehow lol

Well, ya know how it is with them old ATP's. All they're good for is relics. Need a real machine to find those coins. LOL

Looks like you were busy enough!

WTG!

Oh no, I've found PLENTY of coins with the atp, all about being in the right place at the right time, that's all

 

[Old Dude]

Yep. You have a knack Chris. It's definitely not just the machine. The operator has as much to do with it too. Will is going to be a little envious when he sees what was under your coil today. 2 out of 3 places, lol.

Ps...kick the kids off Xbox and the wife off EBay and it will load faster, lol.

I was definitely envious. I have no problem finding them old silver coins, indianheads, shields, and V's. But those LC's have been eluding me for years. Working on finding the right spot.

Is that a pocket watch in there? I bet that gave a really solid signal.

Thank you for sharing your hunt and those pictures with us

Not sure if it was a pocket watch or an old stopwatch. It looks like the top would push down instead of twist to wind. Not sure either if the green is patina or it was colored green at one time. No visible markings on it unfortunately.

Hey, finding a watch winder is definitely on my wishlist, that's a great find Dave!

Anytime you're able to hunt an old property, you never know what might turn up.

Looks like you've got some nice old finds mixed in with the coins. Glad to see you guys getting out and having some long-awaited fun.

 

[Carolina Tom]

Good job OD! I like the watch winder.

That was gracious of you to let the young man have a day in the sun. I see what you are doing, lulling him into complacency, before you bring down the hammer. Very crafty my brother. GL&HH.
