Hey everyone,

Still hitting that old park. Finds have been slower the past few trips though. I'm having troubles with my favorite coil. I won't hunt with the stock coil on the dfx.

I am so sold on the larger coils it's hard to hunt with the stock. So until I get this coil 1400 repaired again I think finds will be down atleast 50 percent. Need alot of coverage in this large heavily hunted areas. The stock takes way to many sweeps to cover the ground.

But I did however come up with a few finds. Nothing rare or really old. Been a slow season for rare coins so far. I'll still get close to 100 silvers this yr. And 50 indians won't be a problem. I'm at that now. But rare dates have been far few and inbetween.

Here is a break down of the finds. 16 wheats no good dates. 3 old 40's jeffersons. 3 1958 10 cent play coins. 1 neat old token with hole in the center. Probably from the 40's or 50's. 1 1918 merc 1 1942 washington. 1 1943 war time nickle. 1 1962 rosie.

Got a nice sterling silver spoon bowl handle missing. Searched for it but didn't come up with the other half. Got a cool little enameled piece of silver that was attached to something at one point. Looks to be gold also. Not sure what it went onto to.

Other than that nothing else to mention. Except this very strange little gun. Not like all the others. This one is made of copper or brass. Has a larger caliber hole than a cap gun would normally have. Is this a mouse gun or something. Or just a really neat toy gun.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

Thanks guys,

No none at all Carl. Nothing not even a symbol. The barrel is grooved on the inside. But strange in a way. I've shot guns my whole life. And this barrel is shapped on the inside like a hexagon. The gun does come apart at the barrel. It's beat up but still one of those I wonder pieces. Wish it would have came whole.

Thanks again

Jeremy

Thanks guys I appreciate all your help and thoughts.

The indian was a nice none corroded 1888. I love when they stay whole and the rims aren't breaking away.

Dex, if you find a match out there let me know. Would be cool to get a pausitive i.d on it. May not be possible though without a makers mark.
