Hi everyone,
I haven't been on alot the last few weeks posting. I've been researching alot with my time as of lately. I'm still on everyday looking over the board and making replies.
I was letting alot of the stuff build up until I showed it. I got lucky last week during the evening researching I spotted what I thought to be a old house off into the woods on a aerial photo. I made a note of it and had a good idea of it's location.
Saturday my wife was having a candle party at my house so it gave me a good amount of time to get out and see if I could find the place. Lance, My brother was actually over for a day and I can do alot more damage with another guy.
I noticed on the map a aerial shot that the home was by it self off into the woods. A creek bordered the home along with about a dozen pines. Me my son and brother got a bite to eat and started making our way to the site.
I was looking for a specific rd off of the rd I was on. It was right were it should have been. As soon as I made the left onto the rd I seen the pines lined up in the woods. I knew instantly that was it.
I was able to pull my car down a old dirt rd and was right on top of the site. It was even better when I realized the site must have just been demomed this summer. I could still see the hay planted for the new grass to come back up.
We started out slow but then I got 2 wheat's. Good sign for more to come. Then a few moments later my brother finds a old button civil war era type Police officer button.
We knew at that point the site looked to be from the late 1800's. I could see pieces of a frame house strewn around the back end of the site. We continued and I pulled up a really nice 1908 barber dime. I left it right in the clump. Brought it over for my son and brother to see me break it out and see if it was a barber or a seated. Only part of the back was exposed.
Lance picked up some wheat's and then hit on a 1923 S merc. We then got rained out and said we would return Sunday morning. Well Sunday I had 2 birthdays to go to. So I had to leave by 11:30. So we only got out for a hr or so.
I got a few more wheat's and a ton of relics. Gonna have to go back later this week. Everything else has come from an old over look I was hunting a few months ago.
I decided to go back some more and hit it. It's dyeing down now and opening up. I picked up a 1895 Indian a 1917 S merc A 46 Rosie and a few wheat's on a few outings there.
I also got a nice old sterling silver band. I polished it out for the wife to wear from time to time. I got it walking to my car. I was happy because I don't find a ton of silver rings. And when I do they are old.
But the find for me was a signal I received up against a tree. It was a solid 93 and was saying 7.0 inches on the screen. I said to myself could it be a silver dollar. I dug out a big pile full of dirt. Checked the pile and the detector was screaming and pinpointing good.
I swept the dirt away to find this very large medal about the size of a silver dollar and about as thick as a half. It had a loop all bent to death attached to the ring at the top. I guess it was worn or attached to maybe some type of ribbon at some point.
I knew it had to be old because the site was giving alot of late 1800's coins. But when I got it home and rinced it and seen it was in really rough shape and worn down I thought maybe it is even older than I think.
I can't give alot of info about it. There is writing on the top and bottom of where the guns are. I can't make them out and they seem foreign. I can't really understand the words. Top right side front may say peace of the.
It has what appears two old guns crossed with a fire in the center burning. It also has a old type of crown in the top center. On the back side it has just a large reef that borders the edges. No writings or markings on the back side.
I would love to know what this was and hopefully someone here with better researching skills than me can pinpoint what it is. Sorry I can't give a better description.
Thanks alot,
HH Jer
