- Metal Detecting
On Thursday (May 18) my Whites TRX died, and as you know, detecting without a PP is a slow go.
Little did I know it was on its "last legs" when I was at an evening hunt the day before!
But it held in there.
The farm park I've been detecting since January is on my way home from work, so what could be more convenient than that?
About a half hour in I got a high-tone which turned to a mid-tone once I got the target out.
Here is the fired musketball.
Not far from that hole, another high-tone 90s signal turned out to be this 2 and a half inch diameter iron ring.
On to an adjacent field and I got a signal that sounded like a penny but jumped from high to mid-tone, 60s to 70 on the F75.
So from this farm field came a St. Anthony medal.
See my video for more on Anthony and his work.
This next dig really had me puzzled until I got it home and cleaned it up. Turns out to be part of a lipstick case manufactured by the Yves St. Laurent Co.
You can ready the word "Volupte", a French word that's too hot for me to translate here.
Some farm fields seem like a wasteland when it comes to "good" signals, so when you get a high-tone in the high 70s or low 80s you expect something like a large cent or brass horse tack.
My last two digs of that type produced some vintage buckles and a horse bridle ring.....all brass and a little leather thrown in too.
With that it was time to pack it in and head home for the day. Good hunt, no coins, but fun to explore more of the fields here.
Thank for checking out this post.
If you care to see the live digs, you'll find them in this video I posted to YouTube:
