Great Seal Pin, and a couple of wheats

[treblehunter]

I went out in the cold today, high winds and a lot of crying. It's going to take a little bit getting acclimated to this cold, but I spent from 9:30 till 3:00 out in it today. I put some miles on the old legs today, explored another soybean field where I found a muzzle loader bullet and broke button. Found this really cool looking Great Seal pin in the same area that Oldjerseygirl found that three ringer the other day. That area has produced a wide range of history from these last two falls. Grapeshot, three ringer, silvers, wheats, and an Indian Head, now this Great Seal pin. I still have not been in the cow pasture, maybe tomorrow?

Enjoy the pix, I'll post the cleaned up pix later tonight

Here are the cleaned up pix



Just was reading KIDDO1979 's thread where he found ox balls, they were screwed on the ox horns. I thought it was neat and figured I'd add it to my thread

It's not so much what we found that gets us to work so hard, put up with so much. It's what we might find.

That's a great pin!

 

[Old Dude]

Very nice pin. Hope it cleans up nicely for you!

 

[treblehunter]

[treblehunter]

Just found out about this, found this at site I was at yesterday along with an ox shoe.

 

[Old Dude]

Wonder why they are threaded inside?

 

[park pirate]

Cool stuff..

 

[treblehunter]

Wonder why they are threaded inside?

To thread onto the horns for a tight fit, then a hole for a set screw. You should be on the Capt obvious commercials Dave, lol.

 

[Old Dude]

Sorry Brad. I forgot about those Threaded Horn Highland Bulls, lol.

All GQ bovines wouldn't be caught in public without one.

I forgot to tell you~If you go detect the cow pasture today, those frozen cow patties are much easier to deal with. You can pick em up and throw em like a frisbee. Makes it easier to detect. A little " thought you might like to know " info!

Oldjerseygirl was saying after that rain I'd be knee deep in patties, lol!
I might hit Harbor Fright for a cheap cattle prod, lol.

 

[Old Dude]

I would have liked to had a cattle prod that day Vino stepped out of his truck, turned on his detector, swung it and said to me " This is a killer signal " then dug that nice old coin, lol!
