Minelab 705, Garrett ace 250
Today was the first serious hunt for me with my new Minelab 705. I am upgrading from the ACE 250.

I still have ALOT to learn about this machine, so far I like it. Today was about 3 hours and I dug everything. Lots of rusty cans, sheet metal, etc. I want to learn what the machine is telling me so I guess that I have to dig.

Among the crap I was able to cull out a few keepers. The first is some kind of (Silver?) ornimental piece. Very delecate and brittle. I dont see any marks of any kind on it.
The womans watch is pretty neat. So small......... The indian was not found today.
The pocket watch was a neat find and the second one in two weeks.
A nice dandy button missing the back shank rounds up the best of the best.

Nice Relics...How about a after picture once they've been cleaned. Congrats and HH
 
very nice relics
 
Off to a great start with it! Nice relics! Keep goin with it! I enjoyed seeing your finds! :thumbsup:
 
Give it time as you probably well know. Your finds from that field in the past have been nice. Hope you will pull some more neat stuff in the future :icon_sunny:
 
The little silver piece has been super glued back together so I can display it. No idea what it is but I like it.

I found some patent dates inside the pocket watch and it seems that the parts were made on a machine patented in the 1930's.

Hopefully giving it another try tomorrow........

Thanks for the replies, VPR
