Hello Everyone, I have been offline for about a week because of moving into our new/old home in Town. We got a 1800's 2 story brick that has plenty of History surrounding it, which helped make the move more comfortable for me.
I promised my Son that after we finally got settled in that I would give him the first day of detecting as long as he promised to dig every signal.
I told him that the previous owner had several kids that was raised in the 40's and that it was possible he would find alot of things from that era and being the home is in the City, it was going to take awhile possibly for the older stuff to be found.
Well I was right and he had a great day,
He found several newer coins, can slaw,and a few pull tabs but than the wheaties started beeping in and I told him to start swinging tighter patterns. It wasn't long that he found a pocket spill of 15 wheaties ranging from 1930' to 50's. He got really excited with that and than dug a pocket watch that's had better days but a cool find. he just kept coming up with some very cool relics including a kids tool set scattered in different places, a pendelum off a clock, a toe tap, some pottery pieces, square nails and other neat finds. I was starting to wonder if the Silver had been cherry picked until he later showed me a Standing Liberty and a 1951 quarter found just a couple inches deep from the front yard. I was very Happy to see such a Great variety of finds that He can add to his Collection.
I may just give him another Day before I try at it, because I know some 1800's relics is just lying there under all that cool 1900's finds
.
I added a pic of my Well pump in the yard and a one room School house that is across from my house, there is a 1700's Cemetary, Civil war Hospital and a couple of other Great historical sites within a few blocks of my Home, so hopefully soon I can add a second chapter to Diggin the City Life.
