Found a few things today, mostly trash

Had a couple of hours to spare this afternoon (played hooky is more like it) and went to a friends place in Collin County, TX to check out the old barn area. According to him this place was built in the 30's so I figured I could find SOMETHING out there. I just knew it was going to be a good day when I found a fresh pocket spill ($ .14) in the driveway!

Once I got to the old barn I saw a depression in the ground about 30 yards or so away and it looked almost rectangle in shape. Old homestead was the first thing through my head, so I skipped the barn and went over there. As soon as I stepped into the depression and lowered the MD I got a hit, pull tab, and then another, and another...Someone LOVED to drink beer at this spot. Then I found out what this place really used to be. As you can see in the first picture it turned out to be an old pond they drained about 5 years ago. He later told me that the pond gets water in it about twice a year and the neighbor kids still try to catch fish in it...

Mostly junk in the pond area, but I did find a 1924 "Un Peso" and a wheatie over by the barn and then some interesting pottery pieces. One of them looks and feels like old Indian pottery, the other is old dinner ware (these pieces were on top of the ground). The "Un Peso" looks like it was spooned at some point in its life...

I'll hit the barn this weekend if I get rained out on my place in Eastland County,TX.

The more trash you dig, the more goodies you get.

YEP!!!

Learned a long time ago, dig everything and you'll be rewarded!

Yeah, most of the time it's gonna be a pull tab or a can that was hit by the plow or mower, but sometimes it turns out to be something measured in karats or troys!
