- Minelab Safari with SEF 8x6; coming soon: FORS Gold+
Got up at 4:30 am this morning to take my wife to the Sacramento airport, as she is going to go visit her family in SoCal for about a week. I brought my Safari along because I knew I would have plenty of time to stop at a couple small towns for some detecting on my way home.
The first town didn't really have a good place to detect except a school that dates back to the 50's. I figured there still might be something left in the back field, and I was right. After a few clad dimes and pennies I got a nice little silver toe ring. About a half hour later snagged the '53 Rosie. Two silver from one field--not a bad morning for me!
About another 50 miles on up the freeway I stop and another town and hit a few easements. First out was the sock clip, which gives the patent date of April '02 (1902). Then came the Buffalo. It's been quite a while since I've found one of these, probably a year and a half. It's soaking right now in hopes I might be able to extract a date.
Before I knew it the clock was getting late and I had to head back home. However, I still have to go back and pick up my wife next week. Her plane comes in at 5pm which means the rest of the day is open for more detecting!
