Been driving by this spot all week, wishing I had time to detect it when it was not occupied by excavators/workers/etc. Watched alot of "good" dirt get trucked out all week, the rain on friday helped slow things down a bit, not sure where it was trucked to. Stopped by this morning, after the rain for a quick go'round. Hot spot number two wasn't quite ready to be hunted, fingers crossed for next day off....
here's the stuff:
some old candle lantern lookin things, lotsa broken bottles, a few neat rocks, an older bullet, lotsa "hot rocks" and slag...
not quite sure what this is? looks blank on the flipside.... a lil smaller than a dime
some sort of bird button..?
flipside.. says "Horstmann - N York & Phila" (can't find the exact one anywhere via goog'lin?)
cleaned up a bit, cival war union navy button of sorts:
not sure on this either, the teeth rotate kinda like a belt buckle, but not tough enough to be a belt buckle...
my first buffalo nickel, pretty rough, but I'll take it....
cleaned up a bit, 1916:
had highest of hopes for this bad boy, heavy like GOLD, but I think it's a lead "blob", kinda encased in concrete crud...
could it be a ring? or a compression ring..... not sure how far back compression fittings date?...
old marble...
neat, old??, bottle... time period??
Not bad for a very quick, hunt in the mud!
