DiggerGirl and Buckleboy Have a Date with a Site.

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Got out with DiggerGirl today. It was a short hunt--and we pulled out some interesting finds. Got 8 coins from the site today--and they were all small cents. :P Four IH's and four Wheaties. We gave two of the IH's to the children of the totally-cool property owner. The kids liked gathering the old broken stoneware shards off the site after it was plowed each year--so we thought they'd love the coins.

I found the tiniest buckle I've ever found today--and the tiniest heel plate as well. Plus I got one find that I'm REALLY happy with--but I'll save that one for last.

Here are some photos of a few of the coins coming up--and an "action shot" of DG :







Here's a shot or two of the tiny heel plate (kid's shoe or ladies' shoe? ). It was right on top of the ground.






And a photo of all of our finds before and after cleaning. DG got half a brass key and we each got a flat button.

I also got a Cracker Jack token (Millard Fillmore). So I can be in the "Cracker Jack Mystery Club" now! (These medals were prizes between 1933 and 1936.)






One of the wheats is a 1913-D, and it is in great shape. Too bad it wasn't the '14-D.




And my PRIZE find of the day--another dog tax tag. It is a VERY early one, and it is different in style from the last one I found two weeks ago. This one is octagonal and dated 1882.







Best Wishes,



BB and DG

Zeus,

IMO the less information floating out there, the better. I have actually been followed to a CW site once back in Virginia. Two guys in a truck tailing me at a discrete distance most of the way there. I figured it out and took 'em for a little detour. Then I turned down a dirt road that I knew ended around a blind curve. I turned the car around right past the blind curve and got out and waited and sure enough--here they come. I have never seen a truck turn around so fast.

I know that these are just house sites--but we Will hit on something big in the area sooner or later.


When it comes down to it, I'd rather share the tag than not share the tag. I know you guys understand.

That is a great story about the tailgater. I think it is funny how you took them on a little detour Congrats on your finds!
