Today is my Husbands Birthday and Cubfan64 wanted to go down by the river and snag some driftwood, he asked to park in my driveway. Of course it was fine, but now I have the itch to get to the fields again. So I pouted and hinted and finally ended up bailing on my poor Hubby on his birthday 
. So Dan, Paul and I went in search of the other foundations down there. Dan thought he knew where they were, I should have known better 
! Thankfully a friend that has been telling me he wold show me exactly where they were showed, brought us right to them! Poor Dan would have only been one whole field off. Lots of trash and iron, but really cool to be around. A couple of signals I dug are still there, I would have needed the backhoe to get them out. I did find the silvery items in a trash dump there. The heart must be a jewelery box top, there is cloth on the inside.
Detecting on they way through the field to the next field, Dan is hollering I'm digging to China. I said "I didn't think we were looking for Chinese coins?" Now Paul says I found a button, I run over and SWEET plain front with "BEST STRONG stand" 
? on the back. I'm sure about the Best and the stand, I need to clean it a little better. Dan hollers I'm digging up a car 
. Kept us laughing.
Off to the field where we found the Indian heads (1865 was the oldest coin yet). Once I remembered to turn my detector on
I'm digging my cool rusty relics , Dan is digging huge holes with nothing in them (gotta be something wrong with that Ace, poor guy), Paul finds another button. Sweet again, it says double gilt on the back and has a green coating on the front. He also dug the square piece that has EN WELCH NFG CO on it and the watch? piece that has a serial number in it. Finally I dig a cool old buckle that says GERMANY on one side of the clasp and ??LTD on the other, nice.
To end the day Paul says I don't know my coins well but I think I found a large cent, now I'm wiggling around waiting for him to pull it out of his pouch and Dan is still looking for Chinese coin's. I take one look and tell Dan to get out of that hole and come over here. The nicest Large cent that has been in the ground for over 200 years you will ever see! 1805!!!!!!!!! Nice job Paul!!!!! Beat the last coin out of that site by 60 years!
Paul got his driftwood on the way out, I proceed to cook a nice Birthday dinner for the Hubby. Thanks for getting me down there Paul, it was great!
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Happy Birthday Gerry!
