Last 2 hunts + Happy New Year!

[Michiganne]

Hi gang,
Earlier this month I went on one of the fairground hunts with Mike from MI and a few folks from the club. Dug a silver '49 Rosie, a (orthopedic?) horseshoe and one dimpled object, possibly a camper door knob? Keith suggested a cane topper which I like better, but I'm not sure. The base is pretty rusty. Any thoughts?


On Dec. 23rd, with the temp at 47 degrees, it was time to hit one last cornfield. This site has given up 3 LC's but is always hard to hunt due to the knee high corn stubble. This year the heavy equipment has it pretty trampled down at the home site, so back I went. About a 3 minute drive from home, so nothing to lose.


Found part of a spoon, button, clock part, a lead seal(?), compact cover plus a 1904 IH. It felt good to end the year with a 110YO coin.



What is this lead thing? Smooth on the other side.


Felt like I earned this IH as it was a bit greasy out there....


Have a safe and prosperous 2015 and keep digging!

Great coin to end the year. Lead item has wire running through it. Might be a large lead seal.

Happy New Year Anne and congrats on some great finds!! Love that green Indian!!
Nice score on the Silver Rosie and other relics as well.
Looks like field/woods hunting may be it for a while as the ground is frozen (at least over here)

Great couple of hunts there Anne and congrats on the Indian and silver rosie My boots looked like that the last time my brother and I went to a torn down house spot but neither one of us got a silver that day, a few wheats is all we got but I did find one of the original Super Balls from the 60's for a good eyeball find
