I have been eyeballing this old house that's not to far from me .I talked to the neighbors on both sides and they told me they know the owners and they live out of state . They said go ahead an hunt it ,they care nothing about the place . I decided I would give it a try and could not believe the amount of finds I had in two and a half hours of hunting I found 4 Mercuries,two buffalo's,two "good for 5 cent in trade tokens",a thimble, two war nickles ,an 1891 Indian head and best of all my 2ND gold ring ever! When I dug the ring I thought it was gold plated because it looked like it was real dull. When I got home I washed it off and was very surprised to see the ring came to life and start looking like gold. I then looked at the inside of the ring and saw 14k. I am pretty stoked . As I was out hunting and on cloud nine I smelled something and noticed I stepped in a pile of dog crap but being that I was making some good digs it did not even bother me.LOL I also got excited when I found a pocket spill but alas ,it was from the early 70s. It was a grand short hunt and I can't wait to hit it again tomarrow . :) Thanks for looking and HH.

Way to go on some killer finds! I think I would walk out the door and step in a pile, just for good luck.
 
That's a great day, Birdman. It's good to hear from you again..and with some great digs. :o

Sorry to hear about the poo on the shoo.....

Ollieboy ,that's a button . Just got back from the spot. Two more silver dimes! I was out there for a little over an hour until it was so dark that I could not see. My yard was a virgin when I hunted it but mostly wheatys , this yard is full of silver!!

Yeah, you just never know...some of the best looking places turn out bunk and others just crank it out. ;D That ring is very sweet as the tokens and mercs.

Bob
 
VERY AWESOME!! That's all good stuff ~ I especially like the trade tokens!
 
Great day, Birdman! I always enjoyed reading about your finds when you were in Europe and I'm glad that you are finding "treasure" again.

What a hunt. It sure pays to ask folks to hunt their property. Way to go on your finds!
 
Hey Trent, got something really special today, I´ll send you a photo when I´ve got it cleaned. A rampant lion with crown, and a base that looks like a hollowed out turtle. ;-)

Top notch finds you have there birdman, good work. I'd like to add that's a very nice assortment too.

Keep it coming and HH.
 
Whoo WEEE! Birdman...You rock!

Makes me wants to quit my day job, go get the detector and find some goodies!
 
W@W. You kicked some #$%%&@@*. If you want to get it done...sometimes you have to step in some dung. Hey it will wash off.
