Saturday I returned to the site where i recently found a pistol hoping to find the barrel. No luck finding the barrel but i got a strong signal on a nearby roadbed. I dug down about 10 inches and saw the outline of a revolver. At this point i was very excited since it was so deep. I carefully dug all around it and finally got it out of the ground. It turned out to be a toy pistol. I hunted a bit more and found a few zincolns and a Jefferson nickle. As i headed home to get some lunch , I passed a farmhouse where there were a lot of cars parked ...I assumed it was a Memorial Day family gathering until i saw the sign out front: " Estate Sale" "Auction Parking ===>". Well the treasure hunter in me demanded that i stop and park. I ended up buying a Sears Craftsman belt sander with 2 new belts for $20 and a basket of "junk" for $2. In the basket was a small plate with a sticker that said 24Kt gold. On the back of the plate was an explanation of the Japanese art of Chokin. Also in the basket was a cookie tin that had a marble in it, and a few shot glasses and other stuff....i guess not too bad for $2. I hunted another old yard and found nothing but malt liquor bottle tops. And then in the evening hit a local park and only found zincolns and 2 rosie dimes. Today i will take a ride to the NC beaches and try my luck there...I'll post my finds tomorrow.
