Checked out a new site today...Looks promising: 1907 & 1910 cents & Dump Site
As you have heard me say before, I do not have much time to detect anymore. For this reason I have stuck close to home on my hunts so I can sneak out for an hour or two now and then. I have had my eye on this site for a while. I had about one hour to detect today, and I did not let the light rain stop me.
I found the two cents next to each other. I almost always find old pennies in pairs. These were both next to a pond, about 4 inches deep. Both had iffy signals, even with the wet conditions. The IH fared much better than the 1910 Wheatie, which is a mess!
Not far away I came across a dump site in the woods. It is a small cellar hole lined with bricks and earth and may have been a privy. There are many old bottles and dishes scattered about. It was impossible to use my detector with all the junk. I may have to invest in a sniper coil.
Does anyone know anything about I.P. Co.? It says semi- vitreous and has the word porcelain beneath. Any help as to the age is appreciated.
