Todays hunt

[jeff of pa]

Before Going Hunting Today,
WhitesPa & I decided to take a walk
up a mountan side to where a Church stood in 1875.
Although we didn't find any sign of it
I Think we at least Found the General area.
Must have been Wooden with No Foundation.

On the way out we Spyed this



After Closer Inspection





After Hammering & Pulling & Chipping away we Got it out




It's Obvious Somone Hammered it into the Branch



We Then went to the Park we've been Hitting.

Found
Sinker


Considering We Find one or 2 of these every Time
we are there. I'd say somones Huffing spot in the 60's, 70's ?



2 buckels were attached to Large Piece of Leather.
Possably Arm Wrap from an archer




Ladies watch




and a 5 1/2 inch long Battle Ship

[shaun7]

what a strange thing to do with a digging tool and they had a hammer too

 

[txkickergirl]

Cute battleship

I have been frustrated enough to want to hammer my detector a time or two but never my digger.

 

[blklab]

WOW!! I don't know what to think about the digging tool. Great finds. I
really liked the watch and the battleship. Congratulations and continued
"Good Luck"!!

nice finds but while you were gone some guy was stiring up the pot in here. I think his name was MARC

Cool finds,jeff.They must have been trying to split that timber.Is that another small branch protruding through it just to the left of the digger?

Nice finds, but its very odd why someone would do that to a digging tool. Must have had real bad day.....

There was one Broken Cinderblock nearby
We used it to Free the digger from the Branch.

I sort of Wonder if that is what he used to hammer it in

I think I can relate to that. It was probably a former White's owner that had just switched to a Minelab...

Cool battleship!!!
