1853 Farm House Finds

[Jamie1993]

Got to go Mding prior to the rain Saturday morning. I was hoping to hunt a school grounds but there were a few tikes playing soccer, so I decided to hunt a field I've hunted the past five years off and on. The farm dates around 1853. Here aer a fw of my finds including one for the bucket list. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks, Pepperdawg & Port Ewen Ace. I tried lowering my ground balance on the AT Pro and these were the results.

Congrats on the Barber and the other finds.

Those Barbers are hard for me to find.

Well played sir!

Thanks, Trapperart & Carolina Tom, The Barbers in our area are few and far in between. My last Barber was 4 years ago and it was a dime.

Nice finds. You should attempt to clean the bird band, and get in touch with your conservation dept. In our state, if you give them the number on the band, they will send you a certificate fact sheet on when and where the bird was banded, how old it was etc. Some are even reward bands where they will send you a check for $25.00 just so they can get the info they need on where the band was found. Of course if it turns out to be a pigeon band from a private owner, this does not apply.

I have yet to find my 1st silver..... I feel it coming soon

 

[Jamie1993]

Thank you all for the likes.
Trezurehunter The band has some damage and I don't know if I'll be able to get all the numbers from it.
Asrussell96 keep up the faith, it took me awhile to find my first silver. It was right in my front yard. A 1944 GW, 4" down, it only showed up a a quarter on the Coinmaster I was using. The Barber showed up as an 85-89 on the VDI, it was 10" down and sitting on a 45 degree angle in the side wall of my plug. The Lord had a little help with me not damaging it.

Nice old silver Barber!

 

[Jamie1993]

Thanks all for the compliments on the Barber. It was one of those finds that you might just see an old man try to do a back flip.
