1900's Building - Hunt #2

Went back to the place that me and Mastereagle hunted last Thursday.
Here is the link to the first hunt:

http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,388342.0.html

This is a building that was built around 1900. I asked him to go with me, but he was at the store holding his wife's purse. :icon_salut:

As they say, no place is ever hunted out. I hunted for about 3 hours and dug out lots of trash. Someone has run over a soda can an cut it into dime sized pieces and scattered it over most of the back yard. I probably dug up enough to make the top half of the can. The rest will have to stay "in the way" until next time.

I managed to find a few decent items. I dug the first ring (which has no stone) in the back yard. I first thought was just a gumball machine ring. It does, however, have some kind of marking in it, as pointed out by Mastereagle. It is only gold plated though. An hour or so later, I dug up the other ring and thought sure it was a solid gold ring. It wasn't to be though...it was only plated. I think it is old though and has a small purple (amethyst?) stone in it. I was still really happy to find it. I really like the decorative broach or hair clip with the stones. I thought it was a neat find. I almost didn't dig all three of these signals, since they were such a low tone on the detector. One thing is certain, I will dig everything that is repeatable in the older properties...you just never know.

Everything:

The good stuff:

The coin was a wheatie (1953D):

Check out this clover leaf pin that is marked Sterling. Totally Unreal that I found it on the Eve of St Patricks Day! It is missing the pin on the back, but was cool non the less. Anyone know what the letters stand for? I think it had enamel in two of the clover leaves at one time:

It was cool to find these two knives. I believe the one is really an old one.

What the heck is this thing? Any ideas?

Here is the marking inside the ring (gold plated) with the stone:

All and all I had a great time and found a few items. I know there are more signals, and Mastereagle and me are going tonight to see what else we can find.

I got into work this morning and showed my finds to Mastereagle who didn't get to go last night. He just yelled "YOU SUCK" and ran away crying. Gosh, he sure is sensitive. ::)

Number 1 I was at home watching my sons. My wife and daughter went to a dinner and her purse was nowhere near me.

Number 2, you are a sneaky sneaky man. Going back to that place without me. I would NEVER do that to you. N E V E R . But I understand you think I'm sooooooo much better than you with the Explorer (I'm really not, that's just what you think) that you have to have an unfair advantage in the detecting competition.......... I see how it's going to be............... >:(

And actually your false modesty of "I didn't find much only junk" and then going on to list what amounted to a really good hunt for us in this area, just didn't work for me. You had a good hunt. Be excited about it and happy. I know I am happy for you. I'm just sad I didn't get to go along.

There is always next time.

Good finds buddy. And you also have to remember this place was supposedly "hunted out" by two other people. The fact that we are still finding stuff, although it is difficult to find, shows the skill and dedication we have both developed over the years, to this hobby.

Minorea...I mean Mastereagle..I gave you a chance to go. You are always welcome to come along. I can't just sit at home and not detect because you can't go and I know you don't expect me too. I really wish you could have gone along too. The detecting season is short and the window of good weather is narrow.

If you keep pouting..I will tell your wife that you are acting this way. She will take care of you! :violent1:

nice finds ...
I'm curious about the stones
on the broach (if that's what it is) , could
they be diamonds, or perhaps just crystal ?

:thumbsup:

ouachitacaveman~ I really don't know what the stones are. I assumed they were nothing valuable, but I will look closer at them. They look a little cloudy with some clearer spots....as if being in the ground kinda scratched them and made them couldy. Maybe glass? :dontknow:

warsawdaddy~ I did tell him that. Maybe he will bring his tutu tonight. And maybe I will bring my REALLY dark sunglasses if he does! :walk:

Re: 1900's Building - Hunt #2

Hey BB, those have got to be the nicest looking gold "plated" rings I have ever seen! And those old pocket knives I am jealous of. :tongue3:

My kind of stuff you know..... :hello:

Re: 1900's Building - Hunt #2

Awww....he'll be alright if he wears that camo tutu Ros made for him. :icon_thumright:

No one would be able to see him. Those are some super digs, BB! :icon_pirat:

ewcoinhunter~ Thanks a lot.

traverdog~ Thanks..I was happy even though they weren't solid gold. I hope with the picture of the mark inside someone can ID the age.

thrillathahunt~ Thanks. It was unreal. We must have found four or five knives in that yard. It's big and old, I guess stuff piles up like that over time. :icon_scratch:

Nana~ I don't mind the Tutu Ros made him, it's the "kitty barets" and the fact that he always makes me stop detecting so I can watch him do a pirouette. :help:

Re: 1900's Building - Hunt #2

I'm not even going to bother responding to your lies and drivel. You are just sad that you have NO hair except that spray on crap out of a can and that you are not as handsome as I in a tutu.

Good day sir.

Oh yeah whose new digital camera took the picture of that ring's mark?? Hmmmmmmm?
