Chug's best "Quarter" find ever!


Hi everyone, hope you all had a safe and great day with lots of great finds! We were able to get out yesterday and today, and my pain was well controlled so we were able to stay out longer!:hello2: We should find out this week when my surgery is, so we wanted to take full advantage of the weather and such while I can. Chug scored a beauty of a find, but wait, I'm getting ahead of myself!:laughing7: We decided to hit our new sweet spot yesterday, there was a guy there already, so we went a little ways away from him to give him space, and hoped he would say hi or something, but no, he left about 5 minutes after we got there, oh well. We could easily see where he had been, he didn't pick up all his trash, and he missed a dime, a penny and this, DSCF1656.JPG DSCF1657.JPG And he missed Chug's find too!:hello2: I'll get to his find in a moment, first, here are some more great stuff we scored! DSCF1658.JPG DSCF1633.JPG DSCF1624.JPG DSCF1629.JPG DSCF1635.JPG DSCF1642.JPG DSCF1622.JPG See? Chug did great! he did a heck of a lot of digging this weekend! DSCF1619.JPG DSCF1618.JPG DSCF1628.JPG and mine!:laughing7: DSCF1636.JPG Our clad, Chug rocked it yesterday, today I win, I had a pocket spill that went, penny, penny, penny, quarter, quarter, penny, dime, penny, and dime! :hello2: Oh, and can't forget how many pounds of trash we dug, DSCF1615.JPG Our pouches were heavy, but we had a ball! And now, what Chug has been so excited about, his best quarter signal ever! DSCF1603.JPG DSCF1605.JPG DSCF1649 - Copy.JPG DSCF1611.JPG DSCF1647.JPG This is part of a gun powder flask from approximately the 1850's! Chug will post pictures later of what it looked like when new. He only found one side, but that's ok, we'll keep trying to find the other half! This is easily one of Chug's best finds, tomorrow I'll hang it up where he can see it, and can happily remember the thrill he got when pulling this baby out of the ground! Have a great evening, stay safe, take care and HH!
Oh and by the way, 71523_331518793619113_173922023_n.png Red

Wow! Great stuff! And thanks for the welcome in the new members section! I've only been out a couple of times being very new to MD'ing. So far I've found a couple parts of an old wood burning stove, some iron masonry ties, and some old flat top beer cans. (And piles of trash as well!) Nothing to write home about but the area I've been at and researching could yield some good stuff if I keep at it I think. Got a few more spots in mind but doubt I'll find anything as old as that flask you got! So far I've been nose deep in old maps and newspapers more than I have been nose deep in the dirt. Hopefully the research will pay off. Anyway, nice to see someone pulling such a cool find out of the sponge we call home! Thanks again!
