Lionhrt's finds 2006 and 1st silver, cabin fever is set in!!!

Hello all fellow TNeters,

Have not posted in awhile as all non important stuff has gotten in the way (work, etc.) Funny what a guy will do just to be able to afford the next detector! Story goes, last Jan. got my 1st detector (Ace is the place) and had to wait till that ground thawed, at least a little bit. Within 3mos. I got my 2nd MD, XT50. Ive been out about 40 times within the last year and dug plenty of holes. Mostly just learning the craft, now I have turned to research as I have found that the silver is not by accident!!! Yesterday learned of a bscout camp less than 2mi from the house that was abandon in 1969. This camp was made up of 8 cabins and a larger mess hall, all log structures. From the folks that I have talked to peole are telling me that the camp has been there "for as long as they can remember." I will keep you all posted on how that works out.

Funny thing about research, the best tool you can use is your mouth.

Anyways might as well post these pics.

Bottle hunting, not really, just picked up at an old lake spot we used to hunt, Says on bottom "Insist on Virgina Dare flavors", I believe it is a vanilla bottle.

I'm sure you had a lot of fun digging all that stuff. Go for that boy scout camp as soon as you can. It should be pretty good hunting, even if somebody beat you to it.

Thanks, can not wait to hunt the camp. Seems that these winter months are meant for recharging. All the equipment got cleaned and we're ready to go.

It was a blast diggin the targets, but through this forum and discussions with my fellow MDer in NW Indiana im going to make every dig count and I am always learning what the machine is trying to tell me.

Hey, I found one of those P lightning bolt do dads on the playground last summer.

Must be some kind of kiddy bling-bling.

Man, that button is identical to one I found yesterday. Yours is in better shape, though.

I really like that button, I do not know anything about them. If I had to guess I would say maybe 1960's just from the area and some of the other finds from that field.

I think the 60's is probably right for that button. The house I found mine at was built in the early 60's.
