LC, KG, Relics & Mystery Items
Weather man was predicting a major winter storm (which fortunately did not happen), so hit sites near home this weekend.
Louis (MetalHeadz) invited me to one of the local sites he has pounded. Decided to hunt near the foundation with the “sifting” program on the Nox and pulled some relics including some buttons, RR tag and pin.
I think this is Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad.
Another RR related item with the Pennsylvania Railroad button and I think the gold pin with the eagle is a Boy Scout item.
And a few other relics including the neck of a blob top bottle, first I have seen.
Then made it out to my local park’s old home sites I have pounded, but it was pretty cold so did not want to go far.
Targets were really sparse, but decided to hit an old farm access road near one of the old 1800’s dots in the park. Got a great tone finally, 29-30 repeatable, tight and small.
Then 10’ away another 27-28 perfect signal.
1848 Large Cent and KG, first coppers of the year.
Here are the mystery items all from sites early 1800’s to mid 1900’s.
And for the spoon fans out there, it was a double spooner.
Oh, and one very unexpected surprise. I was painting the kitchen this weekend and when I pulled out the fridge there was all kinds of random bits of trash and dust bunnies and this random treasure.
Good luck out there!
