just when I need Break from the south woods

[jeff of pa]

was back at the south woods today for over 90 minutes.
starting to get frustrated & Figuring time to leave the place Perculate for a while again.
allot of trash



and junque

150A Alternator Pulley, Buckles , more Copper wire



on my way out I dug one more signal
and found a very thin
1880's Liberty v 5 cent



where the reverse used to be

Go north from your blue mark tree climb above that right of field.

V nicks are always great to find. Looks a spot I would be happy hunting in. Great find!

 

[nsdq]

Area i marked in green you should check out

Area i marked in green you should check out

see my post #16 I already responded on that.
I have hit that spot early on with a less sensitive Whites 6000-d series 2
Found many old coins. large cent up

My sovereign & especially my Explorer are so sensative
it is very hard to separate targets there.
it is almost like a Dump at about 8 inches depth.
I believe the house sat in that area. may have also been the favorite spot for
people seeking shade during events on the field.
at any rate, Right now, due to them cleaning out all the woods there & north
to widen the park, it is off limits till after spring clean up
& they mow down all the stubble

"Old" anything beats my clad only days here lately.
Still a good hunt. There's some good stuff hiding there somewhere!
Your pics are always gold Jeff, beautiful shots!

 

[jeff of pa]

thanks ! I just realized I'm running late
wanted to be there by Now
only 46 degrees, gotta check how that feels
maybe I'll eat first

 

[nsdq]

All good hoss

 

[EasternShoreMetal]

That's pretty neat! Toasted fairly well, but still, you can tell what it is and read the date! What more do we need ? I agree with Pepperj, enough to suck you back in.. lol
HH!

 

[jeff of pa]

pretty much skunked Yesterday.
wasn't gonna add it.

the tennis court area I wanted to hit had a Car parked there.
the Person Male or Female has been parking by the south woods daily for forever.
many reasons come to mind.
But they seemed to got Shy at me Skulking in the woods within site,
And moved to a gated off road by the Tennis Court.

When they finally left that spot, a UPS truck who also seems to like that spot
showed up Am wondering if he has some smoking tools hidden there .
or if he just likes taking a break there.

Anyway I decided to re-hit the South woods

for Trash, Copper & lead



and a whats-it that looks Very much like the extremely old remains of a tie Clip



anyway Weather from here on out will be going downhill at least for the foreseeable future before getting worse

Friday may be my one break

JEFF AT LEAST U GOT BUCKLES AND A COIN . QUALITY TIME ..

 

[jeff of pa]

oh Yea, Unless your Me.. Don't use your hands to dig .

I brought home a Party Favor from the Can top



starting to get sore when it rubs against my other finger.
May have to get Antibiotic Creme Friday if it starts to Puss

JEFF!!! Don't PLAY!! with that!! Lockjaw just LOVES this type injury!!

 

[jeff of pa]

yea I'm probably due for a booster tetanus shot.
I'm pretty sure it hasn't been 10 years.
But it may be 5 ish.

not sure when my next dr. appt. is so it's hard to say if I'll remember to ask for one.

normally I heal fast, but occasionally I get sore enough for it to fester first.
I think depth is what causes the irritation on me.
this was somewhat deep. bled till I got to the next target and the dirt from that dig clogged it up. well, Not so much dirt as Mulch from years of Tree Leaves.

Sounds to me like you will not NEED a reminder. Just remember, what helps me to get things checked is a thought I get,

I finally get in to see the Doctor and he says, "If you had ONLY come in yesterday, I could've saved you."

Sorry, but health first, hobby & everything else second.

Just enough to keep your interest going. Looks like a real nice place.

Sometimes the "whatz its" are the highlight of my hunts.
We still have a small window of opportunity to hunt, you never know!

Yea tuff call on the weather here.
This time of year the weather report changes every time they air it.

They tease with warm weather on the 7th Day
then when the 7th day is actually the 6th day,
They move the warm-up ahead.
of course as they arrive, the weather is all together worse.

last I looked, Good Friday mid 60's.
the report before said Good Friday 70
my guess 6pm tonight they will say Good Friday 50.
& when it actually arrives it will be 40 cloudy & Blustery/Biting winds from Canada or worse

But fingers are crossed

latest weatherbug report suggests good Friday may be the end
of the world as I know it



39 here now, no sun in sight.

 

[goldbmine]

That's weird how that always seems to come about!! It's like that last cast and you start reeling in real fast to get going and Bam! Nice recovery and pat on the back for not giving up Jeff!

 

[CoilyGirl]

What's up with V- nickels and their toastiness? They're still fun to find. Hope your finger gets better soon.

Thanks ! and

yes every V I found at this site over the years has been bad.
from my days of cataloging my finds this was my 3rd V here and the oldest
from this park. the other 2 1901 and 1911

the V's at least hold their date better then the Buffalo's do

I forgot about my finger till now.
I can still see the line , which appears to be slightly pink yet.
and is tender when I push on it.
But I'd call it too healed to worry about anymore

I never did buy anything to put on it
