checking out co workers property

[YankeeDownSouthAdv.]

all,

Well i have been promoting our little group here in north florida to everybody who listens..lol...and i was talking with a co worker who has a home she was using for a store front/antique shop(built in the 40's) close to my location in florida.After a brief discussion she said sure , and wrote a little permission slip for me in case local sheriffs( small town) or neighbors stopped by also added her phone number on there so they could verify it.
Well the wife and I headed out and went to go eat at one restaurant to only find it had closed down...:-(..so we drove past another smaller less appetizing establishment. We stopped in there got ourselves some food and needless to say we both had to use the bathroom before leaving, it almost ruined our trip out, but we felt better once we left there and lost sight of all the trucks full of mudd..lol...
Mrs Ocalasix(allybeanie) had taken a few photos of me while i was digging around, found alot of pull tabs older ones and some can slaw,and some metal bits and pieces. I have them all soaking right now, i have a possible bullet( not CW) , a small and i mean small thin butter knife( possibly) i see some thin lines on it but it needs to be cleaned. i know of 1 wheatie, and a couples rosies i believe they all are soaking at the moment. and then there is one small coin shaped item, still soaking can't see any visable markings as of yet on it, stay tuned i will updated with pics of the items for possible ID help...coins are done bad by this crappy florida soil...

here are a cpl pics of me in yard. check out the possible home to detect next door....:-)

the house i got permission for

side of yard and look at the old house next door??...hmmmmm

I will post pics of the finds after they are cleaned up..not sure how to clean some of them but will just try warm soapy water and a toothbrush

got a pic of the small knife and the wheatie is a 1945D, the other coins all were clad. And then the small unknown object might of been a piece of cut aluminum?? button is newer. small cover might of been from make up or something. Fired bullet is definitely goldish in color, so its newer.

here are the photos.

items

1945 D wheatie

back of the wheatie - soil here does some serious dmg to coins.

bullet

knife - fairly small , like a small butter cutting knife, curved on back/possiblely 2 piece? lines on it on handle, no writing or other markings.

what i thought might of been a coin i think is now a cut piece of aluminum or something??...

Glad you were able to hunt the place, looks like it was fun. The mystery item looks like it's just a zinc penny. Zinc pennies get so messed up from being in the ground after only 15 years it's ridiculous. Have a good one!

the mystery round object is smooth, not copper looking, looks like aluminum..thanks though..six

Probably worth another hunt, I'd be surprised if there weren't more coins there.
