It's a biggy!... with wheaties and silvers to boot!

It snowed like crazy last night! I couldn't believe it, had an inch of snow overnight. Then the sun shown itself this morning and it all melted away

My 2nd time out for 2011 and it didn't disapoint me any. Down the road from my house is my daughter's librarians 1875 Cobblestone house that I was granted permission to detect. Just as I began to leave it started a light rain but I figured I'd give it a shot and maybe the rain wouldn't be so bad. So out the door I went. When I got there the rain turned into a mist, then it went away

There are 4 or 5 big trees that line the road (they have a corner lot) and the one tree is huge! The roots were killing me and really tough to get thru and around. It wasn't any fun at all! But I managed and kept plucking away at it for 3hrs this afternoon. Ended up with 15 wheaties all 1940's era, a 1939 Merc, 1957 Rosie and a 1956-D Washington.
Also, a nice buckle or clip of some sort with a bust of a young woman on it with her hair all done up nice and a flower on her dress. Seems to be victorian and made of brass. Any ideas?
Here's some pics... Oh I'm not done detecting the old home yet, I've done about 1/3 of the yard, mostly front and one of the side yard near the big ole front porch.

You got a pretty good range there: Merc, Washington, Wheaties. Anytime I find Wheaties I slow down and start combing for the Mercs, too.

Wow...that place is already showing it's potential. You are off to a great start. I too, love that round object with the woman's head. That kind of stuff really is unique.

Bronze or brass cameo is stunning! Silver is always nice and adds up quickly. Great hunt and place with loads of potential. HHHH

Im not positive but your pin looks like a bridal rosette. Its a beauty either way. And anyday with 3 silvers is a good day.

Good hunt, and a nice variety. I do like the pin, whatever it is?
One hint for hunting the tree roots. Going up and over the roots will throw your signals off a little.
Try hunting perpendicular to the roots. Overlap.....and slow. The faint, deeper signals you should be able
to pick up.
Have some fun at that old home. Looks like a real fine place to live.
