I started hunting this site last year and wasn't impressed much. Around the house had been hit hard by someone else. I have gone back twice in the last week and it's showing good potential when I get away from the house some. It's trash on top of trash there.

The best find so far is a sterling silver Merchant Marine Cap Badge. That was a very cool find.

I'll post more pics of finds in this thread as I hunt there more.



Here is a pic of one of the buildings. I will post more later.

That badge cleaned up like new.
 

Last item on pic 19:02 looks like a Suspender buckle. I have also seen that type on Military stuff.

A site like that can produce for a long time. It's been my experience that the more you hunt it the better it gets as you clean out some of the signal masking trash. Good luck and keep us posted

If found it within a foot of where the MM Badge and Button was. So maybe there was some military clothing also.
Thanks for the interest.

Yep. I have experienced the same at other sites. It's on 10 minutes and 7.5 miles away. So I will be spending more time there when the weather breaks.
