Nice Wheaties Jeff! Most of those old Wheaties are worth just as much as the Indian Head pennies. I dug a few the other day and they sometimes fool you for a split second into thinking that they're Indians b/c many come out with that same pretty green patina. Do you save your fishing sinkers? I love fishing in addition to detecting and have found that I've saved quite a bit of money by saving the fishing sinkers that I find...Don't think I've bought lead weights in 3 years . I really appreciate it when folks add those scenery photos of their sites when they can. Thanks and HH!

Thanks &

Yes I always saved sinkers.
although I did give 50 plus pounds of
them away over the years to friends who do fish,
I try to keep a Healthy collection of all the different types
and sizes I'v found.

3 wheats definitely help make the trip worthwhile!! How deep are you finding them? Could be silver hiding there too!

Congrats!

3 to 6 inches on the wheats.

but ground is old fill

in the early years,
on the 1875 Map
the park is listed as a creek
"Poplar run" which ran
down the middle of the street

at some point after 1875 it was filled in.

There are Stone plots,
some real nice Ground,
and other spots thick roots.
There are also some obvious
Reminants of some Very old, Very big trees
along the edge

Bruce and I were talking this a.m. brass item might be a home-made trapper's tag. Some letters are higher/lower than others indicating a hand punched label.
