Found over a Foot! No Kidding!!!

[Baldingboy]

Well, here is the culmination of a couple of hunts. I removed the really junky stuff and only included the stuff that was mildly interesting to interesting.




See the foot. (I did find something over a foot...I just don't remember what it was!) :P


I found this on the edge of a yard that dropped off steeply to a retaining wall. It was 'only one' of a handful of silver coins that I have ever found, and a HALF DOLLAR to boot!!! I was super stoked!!! Mastereagle was with me and watched me remove it from the plug. He is currently seeing a psychologist over the event.











He was actually happy for me and looked kinda like this when he said "Congratulations":





Here are some other miscellaneous things that I found:

I like the hinge, I never get them whole 8)

Yeah, the park where I found this was founded in the mid to late 1800's and my grandfather actually assisted in the building of the retaining walls that bordered the area below where I found this. I too, was surprised it was a complete hinge. HH

hey Baldingboy, is your basement dried out yet? glad you guys got out. it's so muddy up by my place, you pick up a couple lbs of clay on your boots with each step. gets heavy. Nice finds love the hinge, & I've never found any silver, how exciting! means more since your Grampa worked on the wall. wonder if he dropped it. lookin forward to meeting you 2 characters

BB,

Congrats to you for finding that Walker....that's at least the third one I've seen posted this weekend!! Few finds can match the excitement of seeing a big silver in your hole!!
You should check up on ME....I hope he's okay now...

Those are old roofing tab nails made out of copper. There are a lot of them here around old houses that used to have wood shingle roofs.

We found a lot of them. I was actually VERY happy for Baldingboy that night. Come on BB you have to admit the main reason I was frustrated was once agian the EX II was playing heavy metal songs!

Man when that thing is off it is really really off!

Good finds BB.
