Hi all. My son and I returned to a farm where we have permission to dig because they cleared brush around an old pond/swimming hole. When I heard "swimming hole" I pictured all sorts of lost coins.
Sure enough, our first signal was a coin - a 2001 quarter. Not exactly what I dreamed of....
The rest of the finds came from an area where they had removed some large rocks.
The twenty long nails all came from the same small hole. We dug the first one because the signal was jumping around from the teens to the 30's on our Equinox 800. After removing that first one the pinpointer went off again...and again...By the 5th or 6th one we were laughing and my son was saying, "if there are 6, maybe there are 7" "...Maybe 8,9...20!" There actually were more, but we had to stop at some point.
The melted bullet in the piece of wood was pretty cool. The wood had completely grown around it and I had tried to remove it to determine what it was, but it's just a hunk of lead now.
Oh, and I included a close-up of the pop-top because I'd never seen one with that writing on it. Apparently that style is from the 50's?
Anyway, thanks for looking!
