Woodland Detectors
Gold Member
It started out another cold and windy day here in the Smoky Mountains in NC. I had a couple of carpet jobs for a friend of mine who is a realtor in an historic town not too far from here. Upon leaving this morning, I thought, "hmmm maybe I'll take the etrac and find a new spot to detect."
After cleaning the carpets I wraped up my hoses and begun my trip through the old town looking for a spot. At this point the sun was bright and the temperature was rising. Driving through town I noticed a lone house way atop a hill that was begging me to come and visit. I arrived to the home got out of my van and approached the door. I saw the two very large antique wood doors had a classic door knocker which I gave a couple light knocks. An old man about 5'4 and bright blue eyes answered the door. I introduced myself then shook his hand and told him about my hobby and asked if it would be OK if I tried. He smiled and said in a deep southern drawl and calm voice; "sure Go on ahead Mike, this place is over 140 years old, there's no tellin what you'll find". I told him thank you and proceeded to my truck where I hooked up my gear and begun the familliar griding technique I am accustomed to. Right away I noticed the site was full of different metal. I knew I had to change my 10.5 Minelab coil to my amazing 10x5 CoilTek Joey Coil... IT Worked
I dug all kinds of trash like this.
I dug some 1800's civilian buttons, Curious tiny iron bowl, an 1896 IH a couple silver dimes,lock and various other things.
I had a real nice tone come through My headset which I immediately dug and come to my surprise, It was a super cool coca~cola watch fob 'Lucky charm' swastika fob by Coca-Cola. 1920's USA.
Later, I was working the edges of a field when I got this sweet tone. I dug carefully and out of the plug came this amazing, Confederate reunion half badge. A great badge from the 1899 United Confederate Veterans reunion held in Charleston, South Carolina. The hangar would have had the word "souveneer" on it. The drop has a Confederate battle flag in the middle of the cross. Written on the badge is "9Th Annual Reunion Charleston, S.C. - United Confederate Veterans - May 10-13, 1899". A very nice badge from a hard to find reunion.
This fob reads: 9Th annual Reunion, Charleston SC
center: United Confederate Veterans May 10Th-13Th 1899!!!!!
And I almost forgot.. I dug this really cool 1887 seated liberty dime....
I'm going back tomorrow!
