Metal Detecting a 165 year old home built by a Governor of Missouri in 1851.

Went on a hunt with my dad in Hilsboro, MO at a home built in 1851. I found a Trade token, some porcelain Boyd's Jar lids, and a wheat penny from 1927.. My dad found a 1913 Ford Mode T hub cab, a lead musket ball, and some Bullet casings.. It was a fun hunt..

This is actually all we found in this pic! Those in the previous post were just the highlights... We will go back once more to double check and finish our display case for their foundation..

Sounds like a great place to hunt. Your lucky to get to hunt with your Dad. Go as often as you can. I love the Ford hub cap. It should look awesome cleaned up. Welcome to t-net[emoji482]

Ya'll are doing pretty well, great assortment of stuff, I believe that I see some pretty old Relics + Mid 1900's + Items.

IMO There has got to be some older items there, If I were there I'd "Try" to dig most every signal ; ? able ones I'd maybe dig down 2-3 inches & see if the signal gets better & Try to hit it after a good Rain if you can.

IMO Unless it;s been hunted hard before ....There just has to be some Mid-Late 1800's pieces around that old of a site.

Def, not downplaying ya'll's Finds...A-lot of nice ones.

Go slow , low , & Grid if you can.

Welcome to the site & look forward to your Future Finds/ Posts.
