Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore.

Got in water sites before we got inundated with rain. The oldest one is now flooded according to my friend that lives near it. Would imagine the rest probably are too. Good for me cause it's definitely mixing things up good for when I climb back in them. Have to give them a few days to go down. Anyway, copper flower broach was found a quick 90 min hunt before work. Was my last signal after junk and clad. Wasn't to hopeful for it. 18 -19 signal on equinox one arrow. Figured bottle cap or zinc penny but was surprised by a nice green flower bouquet.

The copper enamel necklace pieces, the 1939, 1954 and 1957D and the lead car are from another 2 hour hike/ hunk at a new site before work. Just a little bit of green paint hanging on to the limo.

Was intending on hunting woods near some 100+ year old house but stumbled on little dump sites in there and dug a little. No idea on colorite dye bottle age but it's a cork version. The mini green bottle is a 1910s Dr. JCB Seigert and Sons bitters bottle. Like the pink tint citrate of magnesia bottle. Amazing it's stopper stayed next to it all those years. It's hand lipped. Marked tcw & co. Mark was used by wheaton glass co 1888 to 1901. Looks like after 1901 the & was dropped. Was finding pre 1932 milk bottles near it and semi vitreous buffalo pottery dated 1911 and early abm soda shards. Right in line with the home timelines. Green insulator probably got tossed down hill after a power line upgrade. Lines were at top of hill. Nice it's not brown. Still common in green apparently but not worthless.

Nice saves, love the limo, congrats!
Stumbled on another lead toy at a different site today. Jockey head. Definitely not something I was expecting at 2 inches and a 15 signal. I get these kicks where I dig a bunch of the same thing. Guess it's lead toys this week
