Forgot My Photo's <<He Punts!!! He Scores!!!>>
Well first off I forgot to add my photo's (Total Newb as you can tell) so I thought that I would delete my old post and try it again with the pics.
Well I went back to the area that I had first detected back 26 years ago and tried my attempts at finding some hidden treasures. Boy it sure was nice back 26 years ago as the stuff I found then was on top of the ground.
I dug up the Football charm at less than 2 inches. I almost did not see it as it was earth tone and looked like an acorn cap. Once I started to wipe off a bit I thought that it might be a bell as I was looking at it from the bottom and the place I was hunting did have the old style bandstand like you would see in Mayberry. Got it home and started soaking it in warm water and the detail started to become more prominent. I am thinking that it may be gold plated, but am not quite sure.
Went to my parents rental properties and dug the 1930 Wheatie again less than 2 inches from along the drive way. It looks red in color with no mint mark.
Wish I could get my pictures to turn out a bit better and if anyone has any pointers on taking better photo's I would appreciate it.
By the way I am still trying to find my finds from 26 years ago and when I do I will post them.
