Hello everyone,

Went out over the break everyday for a few hrs here and there. Been hot and super dry here almost all summer long. However I still been getting down deep and recovering items left behind.

Most of the finds have come from a nice old park. I was hunting a nice little grove tucked deep into the woods. I wasn't the first to hunt it but I did manage a few cool finds. The 57 heinz watch fob and the reading medal came from the site.

I also pulled a merc to from down about 8 9 inches deep. Even with the dry soil I have been getting good depth. Large coil on the Dfx makes the Diff. Although nothing rare except a semi key date 1875 toasted indian that I found the other day mixed in a hole with a 1892.

Both wear eaten alive by the soils in this area. So they became canidates for being wized and some what decent looking. I also found a large copper disc with a bird melted or soldiered onto it with a wire cage design in the background.

Pretty neat item. Almost was pitched into the huge tub of what's it's in the basement. I also found 2 buttons can anyone i.d them. The one says K G C St on it. The other I can't describe. Neither have backs to them.

Other than that just some wheats and common 40's silver. Did get a 1919S and a 1915D wheat though. Mint marks are rare here in Pa. Also got a really nice bracelet sterling marked with a four leaf clover inside it with the letters NYE in the leafs. Anyone know a maker for this item.

Once again thanks for looking and commenting

I'll take anything as long as it's not a pull tab.

What about these pulltabs! ;D ;




You have a good assortment of finds, Jer!! You know how to find the good stuff left over by others. Nice sterling bracelet!

HH,

Thanks alot guys,

Pookie,

Thanks again for all your help and button id.

Dan, Now those are some pull tabs man. Nothing worse than thinking you got something nice and bend down to find a gold colored tab in a hole on edge. But then again there is nothing like getting a tab hit and pulling out a gold ring.

I try man. That's what seems to be what treasure hunting is all about nowadays. Better units to go over the same lands that have been hit for the past 40 yrs. I just dig it all. Relic hunting is a big part for me as coins are not in high abundance. I enjoy relics now more than anything.

Thanks again everyone

Thanks alot SF,

I'll be back with some more goodies soon.

Now those are some awsome finds and the variety is great. Look forward to seeing more of your posts. HH Ted
 

Nice and interesting finds Jer! HH, Mike

Hey Jeremy. Looks like plenty of good stuff. :) I am drooling on everyone's IH's. The 1875 isn't in that bad a shape. Just worn well - better than being all corroded and such.

We are getting the rain now - what a difference it makes in digging grassy areas.

Bob
 

Thanks alot guys.

Mirage, Yes we are finally getting rain here. It's been some tough hunting these past few months. Lawn hunting is trerrible and the woods aren't much better. The growth is very tall this yr to. Can't wait for cooler wetter temps.

Thanks again guys

I have the same exact button as the one pictured below the one with the cross....any ideas??
 

Thanks alot guys,

Yes, a fellow named Woodsie on this site was nice enough to send me a pm and some info on the button. Thanks again man. Here is what he had to say.



Very nice finds. I was very intrrested in the button you found. I believe its a "Knights of St. George Camp Button and it's quite old. At least from the 20's or 30'..In what area were you hunting?

I can tell you this. Camp St. George is located in Mountian Top Pa. It had another location a few miles away. You don't have to tell me the exact spot but I would be intrested in knowing the general area. Heck if you live near me mayge we could hook up and hunt together

Thanks again
 

. So they became canidates for being wized and some what decent looking

Can someone tell me what "being wized" means? Cleaned???
