Another indian and an old cameo

crazyjarhead · Oct 11, 2008

Good evening everyone, Went back to the JA McDonald home today and pulled out another Indian, the 4th this week. It's a 1882 and in superb shape, as the liberty is clear around the head. This brings my total to eight this year. I also found a cameo with the face of a lady, I believe. No markings but made of glass or porcelain. Must have looked fine on a 1800's era gal. Look hard and you will see the face. When it was dirty and I wipped it with my finger you could see the face much easier than after I washed it. Found another metal button, no markings . Found a 1 cent chewing gum lid.Can't read the top part. Found a 1974 S clad penny and a UMC shotgun shell bottom. I have found several of these and they date to the early 1900's I believe. The ring is from a bridle or some kind of livestock harness. Have found quite a few of these as horses and buggy were the name of the game here as the house dates from 1836. Enjoy and any help on the button would be appreciated. Ron

Thanks rmptr and Modern miner. This coin was 10 feet where I found the small pocket spill yesterday. I've been focussing my attention more on this side because it's in the shade and the soil is damp and I haven't really concentrated too much effort here in the pass. Maybe Sunday I can make it 5 for 5

This house has done well for you, keep at it. By the way, what depths have most of your indians been at? I am hopeful that I will find some indians in this new yard that I am hitting since it is so close to the old school.

I found one last Sunday that was shallow (4 inches) Most of the good finds here have been 6-8 inches. The Ace works well for me. I set it on coins and set sensitivity almost to max to achieve max. depth. Some people may disagree with my technique but it works for me.

Shade is always a likely spot...

Look where an old tree may have been taken out, or a rope swing.

Location for the old clothes line is good, too.

You're gonna find plenty more good stuff,

I often wondered where the clothes line may have been. No idea.
