But, of course, the best laid plans and all that, just didn't work. :dontknow:

That stubble is TOUGH! AND resilient!! Every time I swung the knives would just stick in the stalk and I had to pull the head back out! ;)

Anyway, I stumbled around for almost 5 hours today, since it was so nice out. BOY! I am BUSHED!!!

With all the "wonderful" "interesting" finds, I kinda wonder if it's worth all this! :( Of course, after the next 1700-1800's coin, button, find, I'll be all back at it again. LOL

Here's the take:

The tiny little duck band looking thing is a puzzle to me. It's non-magnetic. Pretty much came out as you see it but that's not the puzzle. I've seen duck bands before but this one has a number engraved along with a full address. The address is not of any organization but rather of a private dwelling. Now, why would they do that? ??? A duck license? LOL

I am finding a LOT of these little canister looking things/bullets. Strange?

The spoon says ARCH DOUGHERTY & SONS. (I think)

I've REALLY been knocking the gold and silver finds lately. 1 gram earring last time, then this stud. I don't know if you can read it in the pic but the shaft is actually marked with 925! I'm more impressed by that then the whole earring! LOL I wonder, would they be putting real pearls on a silver post? :dontknow:

Thanks for taking a moment to indulge a very tired soul! :)

HH!

I went hunting in corn stubble the other day to check a new site. The only thing going through my head was I couldnt wait till the fall after the beans are out. Corn stubble what a headache. I do like your new coil. LOL.

I hear it works better that way. But who am I? Some expert or something?
It's amazing how many metallic things I started to find below the surface once I did that. :thumbsup:
Nice job spotting the 925 on that earring post, WHADIFIND!

Yeah, I was pretty amazed to find it there. :) I was looking for a mark of some sort, just didn't expect to find that wrapped around the post! LOL

Thanks!
