A few weekend finds

Nate in Ohio · Nov 10, 2009

Just thought I'd throw up some stuff from the weekend (and from another hunt or so since my last post). Went back to the park where the fatty IH and barber were found, but tried a different area in the woods, on the opposite side of the park and still walked right into an area that produced a few old coins. Not much yet, just a couple indians and old wheats. No silver from the area but did get a merc on a wandering trip through the woods. The other silver was from the old schoolyard I think.

merc from the woods (1942 or something):

1905 and 1901:

Anyone have any thoughts on these, particularly the item on the left? Part of an old printing block maybe, or for like stamping metal?

The compass doesn't really work anymore. The pendant on the right is a nice heavy hunk of silver. It says St. Jude.

Planning to hit the Iceberg tomorrow. Haven't been there since around mid April. Not sure what to expect. I'll let yall know what happens. Have a good one! 8)

Nate, looks like you've done very well at that site. Love to see those silver edges peeking out of the soil :icon_thumright:

Nice job on the silver, Nate! Where has your dad been? :dontknow:

He used to be a regular on this forum.

Good luck at the Berg. I remember when you guys first started hunting that site. It seems like yesterday, but it has been three years already.

Great job on the silver and religious pieces there Mr. Nate.
Hope all is well in college and you aren't tapping your folks bank account too hard.

Where is that old detecting guy at? Golfing? :dontknow:

Take care buddy,

Yea thanks dude, it has been longer than it feels. I love hunting the place and enjoy it even if I don't find a whole lot. Had a pretty nice assortment of stuff today; I'll try to post soon. Been seeing all the coppers you guys are finding here and there...some good stuff! 8)

For those wondering where Mirage has been....I think he just wanted to spend time doing other things rather than posting and commenting and such..and he mentioned feeling obligated to comment on certain posts and whatnot. He's still hunting.

Sometime around the late 1800s. 1890s i think. I think there were some houses in the area before it was a park.

Yep, it's been kinda hectic at times but only 4 weeks left in what's probably one of toughest semesters i'll face. Have a good one!

Thanks for the comments yall.

Doug,
Since Nate did so well his first year he is now a getting free ride! :headbang:

So, the money I was going to use on his education I used to buy a HD TV. :laughing7:

I'll have to post. I took a little break from the forum. Just got busy traveling and such. Not doing as much detecting as in the past. Shoot, even passed on a 'berg hunt today - too much other stuff to do...
