Didn't get enough Diggin in Va. last weekend so went Diggin in Ohio!

After returning from Culpeper Va.,and Diggin In Va. X, my partner and I went relic hunting in Ohio on Tuesday.

We started off at an old one room school house, then went to another one room school house and old log cabin site. All of these school houses have long been torn down and now are in a field. With some research, my partner and I often hunt these sites and more.

Gary, my hunting partner found a 1819 Busted Half Dollar, a 1890 Seated Dime, a 1943 Silver Washington Quarter, a 1910 V Nickel, 3 wheat pennies, one dated 1910, 2 IH's 1878 & 1902 and a token Good for 5 cents in trade, nothing on the front.

I found a 1853 Half Dime, 7 Indian Heads 1889, 1881, 1891, 1896, 1902, 1904 & 1909, I also dug a token, the writing on it is as follows, M Brunson Dealer in Dry Goods, Kenton, Ohio. On the other side it reads Fancy & Staple Dry Goods.

We really had a good day, can't wait to hit another old school, church or log cabin site.

Of course we left the fields better than we found them, we took our trash with us, Maybe you can see in the picture a grinding stone I picked up, kinda neat.

great finds! great pictures! thanks for sharing! i had a disappointment yesterday. i finally got a call back from the girl scout camp staff- i was denied permission to hunt the old one-room schoolhouse grounds where my dad and his older brothers went to school. it's in a field right at the edge of what is now the camp property- no buildings even near, they said they were worried about liability. sad.

LOL, I wasn't visiting Ohio, I live near Lima Ohio. Lots of places to hunt here
in the GREAT state of OHIO. I ususally look at my treasure covered book that
has 5 county plate maps in it and every township. All of these
maps are from the 1860's. A little research goes a long ways in finding old items.

Liability :icon_scratch: Everyones afraid of liability now days. There probably more afraid of a man metal detecting near a girl scout camp than anything. Too bad

Thanks for the reply, sorry to hear about the school site. I used to have a waiver that you could sign and
give to the land owner. It releases him from all liabilities. I'll see if I can dig it up.

thanks!! greatly appreciate your time! please don't spend too much of your valuable time on it- i'm not sure if even that would help. the people at this camp have been really weird- the locals there are getting very annoyed and even suspicious of the attempts of the camp to keep people out of the property. i must say, the staff member i talked to at the girl scout organization was way beyond helpful- its the "property director" i think she called him and caretaker that are keeping people out, even local people.

Thanks Buckles, it's been awhile since I last posted. To many place to hunt and not enough time
to post our finds. It really was a Great day hunting. Now the weather has turned to crap, but am
still hopeful that there are some good days left for detecting this fall.

Yes I really like my SunRay Headphones. I broke the connector just before going to Va. for the
Diggin in Va. X hunt. I sent them in and had them back in 6 days. Can't beat that for service.

Thanks for the reply, HH, Ringfinder
