Equinox finds more

[McCDig]

There is a Baltimore City park that produced lots of Indian head cents when I hunted it with my Fisher F75.

I tried the same area today with the Equinox 600 and came away with more "hard fought" Indians.

First IHC is an 1890 next was a bit deeper, an 1889 and the last was the deepest,



from about 7 inches,

an 1884 beauty .

Nickels were ringing in at 12 or 13 and I ended up with five, the oldest being this 20 something Buffalo .


Also chasing down a nickel signal I dug this ladies Seiko dress watch .



Incidental findings in two holes were marbles, one more common and the other, what I call a "dreamsicle" marble, shown here is four views



.


Of course along the way I ended up digging scores of square nails and big iron, pull tabs, can shred and a couple bottle caps.

Thanks for checking out the post!

Nice mike, I like how the Equinox "Marble" setting goes all the way to 11.. Found 2 with my equinox this weekend too

Thanks Ken! Someone asked today....metal marbles?

Nice recoveries. That 1884 is one fine coin. Looks like it was dropped right from the mint. Congrats.

Good job my friend glad you and your new machine are bonding. Great post

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Johncoho! That turned the clock back today. Looks like an 1884 one cent had the spending power of a 26 of today's U.S. cents.

Thx Ogre1190! Make mine a Dreamsicle!

 

[Digger RJ]

Thanks Tommy! I definitely know what iron sounds like and I think I have the nickel thing down, its everything else in the middle I have to learn.

Really good hunt. Three Indians and a Buffalo are a nice gathering. You can ask for a marble I.D. on our Marble Sub Forum. Cheese is our resident marble expert.
Congratulations on your finds.

Thanks Brad! The pile of nails I dug in the process started to weigh down my side bag; did get one half horse shoe.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks ATW! Didn't know about the marble sub forum. I'm curious.....I'll ask the "Cheese".

Great finds Mike, and Congrats!

Is that a quartz Seiko? If not it wouldn't surprise me if you said it started running when you picked it up. Tough timepieces and accurate. I know you guys are joking about the marble but as much lead in the coloration of things back then it wouldn't surprise me!

Best wishes and good luck!--------Phil
