A few decent signals today !

[MaineRelic]

I waited till late morning before venturing out into the great outdoors this morning to try to get a copper fix ! I followed a long rock wall on a south slope running adjacent to a local tidal stream.This place is still used by the locals for fishing and swimming . I found a small spot along the wall with a small foundation, too small to be a house probably a small cabin or a shed ! The digging was still remarckably easy under the leaves, I think I only abbandonned 2 signals due to frost in the ground ! The first good find was the 1864 2 cent piece ! pretty close to this I found the broken heel plate ! and the small cuff button ! Then found a couple fired leads at the base of the rock wall ! Then just on the other side of the wall I dig up the decorated dandy flat button and the narrow brass plate thingy . Closer to the stream away from the rock wall I found the clad the belt buckle and the piece of lead solder with the R R on it ! Thanks for looking ! Merry Christmas to all and a Merry new year !

Nice finds MaineRelic you where brave to go out today. I was out for an hour at the beach but I gave up as the dry sand was like cement and the wet sand cold as heck and I nearly froze to death.
P.S. Your name doesn't happen to be Bob by chance?

Nice hunt under the conditions! Probably your last for a good while with the blizzard coming through.

Thanks Steve I often wonder how many signals I miss through a couple of inches of leaves and a little snow on top ! Yet the finds I made were all good strong signals with the finds from 4 to 6 inches deep ! As for it being my last hunt The storm seemed to miss here a little ! We only recieved about 6 inches and they are calling for temps in the high 30's to low 40's this weekend so we will have to wait and see about that last hunt since I am on vacation as well !!

Great Button!
I think someone recently posted a Very Similar dandy
Nice score on the 2C & relics!
I seem to get decent depth through the snow, Am so grateful for that soft ground under the leaves!
so dissapointing to get a signal through the snow, then find it's concrete beneath.
I'm out every chance I get now, deep freeze is coming sometime!
hard to beleive we can still dig after Christmas
thanks for sharing!
