Ok I started off in the morning taking my Cora with me to look for campsites and bottles along an old railroad bed owned by a friend of mine. Also searched through the farm dumps on the property as well, Cora was very excited when she saw an old loader amongst the iron and wanted to drive it. IMG_1511.JPG
We didn't find much more so we headed up to an old foundation in the field and that's when I found my first store token. IMG_1512.JPG IMG_1514.JPG

Then about two feet away this pretty little crotal bell popped out

With that the finds about dried up other than a small sash buckle? Fork, drawer pull and tons of trash. Fellow t-net member Lonewolf met up with me and we headed to one of the sites that has been very good to me. A 1860's house foundation in a field. The finds were coming slow at first and we were digging iron and such when I got a weird signal on the deus, one that reminds you that the weird half repeatable signal is probably the roof nail head in a mist of more iron.
When this popped out of the ground, I shouted HOLY S**t! , I looked at lonewolf and said get over here! As soon as he saw it more profane words were expressed by both of us for a few minutes and I just stared at it then both of us started texting people pictures.

After that I switched programs and dug a few more relics but I was ready for a celebration beer and to call it a day. I still can't believe I found it, it just goes to show you never know what's under your feet.
Thanks for reading I know it's a long post!

Nice job on the plate!

Still on my bucket list, but they're not easy to find in California, but not impossible....I hope :)

Mayan, (pronunciation for the word Man in Georgia)! A hewge Congrat's to you on the U.S. Plate. Very Well Done sir. This is a bucket lister for sure. I'm still looking for the ever elusive U.S. Eagle breast plate. Continued Success to yhall'. Hammer this area hard. Who knows what else lies just beneath the soil and coil.

The last bucket list item I had was the summer of 1969. I was 19 and I think she was 21.

No doubt what's getting ready to pop out when you look in the hole and see those hooks staring back...that had to be an exciting moment. Big congrats.--JB
