Dirt Fishing in CT - April 22nd... IHs, Sterling Knife, Silver Roosie, Relics...

[FooserPaul]

Hello all!

I hit two locations today that I have hunted at many times before... No place is ever hunted out right :-)

Today... Two Tone Ferrous! I can't seem to hunt in conductive tones at all these days... TTF rocks!

First keep was a small signal between the trash... The lawn mower got this sucker! 1953 Roosevelt Silver Dime...

Next up... two deep iffy signals...

1893 Indian Head (IH #18 for 2011)

1867 Indian Head (IH #19 for 2011) >> What the heck happened to this one

I switched to the second location... I barely got the coil down and up was this 12/44 that bounced to 12/46 and 12/48...

Sterling Silver Flatware - Last year I recovered 2 Sterling Spoons and 1 Sterling Fork at this location... I know there is more there :-)

This was a 12/33 12/34 signal...

This is a neat little pin :-)

This signal looked like a 6" Nickle... What do you make of this?

Fun hunt today! I really enjoyed it :-)

Happy Holidays Everyone!
Paul

I think the small figurine might be a religious icon?

Good Finds Paul, I've been hunting in TTF for most of 2 years now. It's all I need, works great on the old iron patch sites

Nice finds! I think you may have something nice with that "For Liberty" pin. I am guessing that it is some sort of military service pin, but cannot really find anything on it. I could be way off, not really an area I have a ton of experience in, maybe someone could add a little more.

Regardless, I think the pin is great, congrats on all your finds.

Awesome knife

That knife is awesome--silver anything is awesome to find. Love to see silver come out of the ground. Keep up the good work.

Nice assortment! The pendant with lady and her fan is my favorite. It may not have value like the sterling utensils, but it appeals to my old girlie heart! Andi

Nice variety Paul. That Sterling silver knife is better than 10 silver dimes I would think.

Looks like the dirt fish were really biting, Paul!

Great sterling flatware, and I love that Liberty pin!

Awesome relics etc....I hunted an old building built around 1897 and found several Indians right around the age of yours as well as a cuff link (shirt stud) that is exactly like yours. I also found a few rifle shells like yours. Reminds me of my hunt.
