Checked my new place today, didnt detect for very long wind blowing 50 mph spiting ice and rain, not fit for man or beast, maybe those bluenosers. LOL.. Dug a couple big iron pieces then I got this reading 69 70 or so at 7 inches, started digging got down about 7 inches and stuck my bullseye down there and got a buzz on the wall of the hole. Carefuly I started to expose this deal that was looking like a nice buckle, well sh*t I dont know what this is but it aint what I was hoping for. Any ideas

Then I brass brushed my room key tags a little and put some brasso on them, one of them broke at the top, was corroded all the way through, oh well still cool anyway and they look a little better now. I hope this weather hurries up and settles down so I can get back out there. Its only been a day and I already have cabin fever. Good luck to everyone, its about time to start seeing those pictures of the years finds. Soon as I get a nice day to lay a sheet out Im going to show you a JUNKYARD DOG HEAP, I have dug enough iron out of my yard to make a trip to the scrap yard.... :thumbsup:

No there wasnt any keys, they were all stacked together about 6 inches deep, between a sidewalk and street at a old college building now a grade school for moniteau county R-1, in the town of clarksburg, Mo. Somewhere in the area was the old Lander Hotel. This buisness man also built a large hotel here in Tipton, Mo. This was in the 1880's I believe. Thanks for the reply.
