Got to dig the iron

texjim · Sep 2, 2015

Sometimes it pays to dig the iron signals. I'm still hunting a 1700's log home. The yard is not that big and i can hunt it as much as i want. Now that i have cherry picked most of the solid signals I'm all but left with digging the iron and there is no shortage of it as you can see. While digging up a nail spill out popped a 1919s wheat and a recheck of the hole a 4 leaf clover pin with a swastika symbol in the middle. From what little i have read about the pin, it was considered a good luck pin until Hitler started with his regime. Thanks for looking

Nicely done,, a lot of my silver coins that were found this year were masked by iron.

Hear - hear. Getting rid of the iron helps get to the good stuff.

'4 leaf clover pin with a swastika symbol' - Two symbols of good luck.

On good sites the odd nail is not going to hide a small coin from the Deus, but we like to clear the bigger iron & after years we get all the nails as well for good measure. My best story on why is like yours but includes a Gold coin up against a horse shoe. I could only hear the horse shoe but decided to clear it, glad I did.
