New and Old - Tale of 3 hunts

[McCDig]

Had some extra time off this week and got out a couple hours on Thurs, Fri and the better part of Saturday, Dec. 14. Raining today - so we're inside.

From Dec. 12 I dug what I thought was auto related and in watching RelicHuntingFlorida on YouTube today, my find was identified - Schrader Universal Valve.


On to Friday afternoon and my first stop was a median strip in Baltimore; this yielded modern coins but nothing old, so I headed north to Druid Hill Park and hunted a spot I hadn't spent much time at before. Not long in I got my first IHC, and 1892 .
About 3 feet away came another, this one in much better shape .

About 30 feet from the IHCs, a much lower tone on the Equinox (about a 14) turned out to be the front half of a copper/brass charm .
In the field I could make out the horse shoe part but cleaning revealed the jockey's cap and the nails in the shoe, seven in all.

Back to Herring Run Park on Saturday and made mad clad money, over 12 dollars, that included these two dollar coins:
The first came from the same street corner where I dug two the week prior, same year, but D mint .

A couple blocks south I got another dollar .

Thanks Brad! Still digging! Looks like we have a good window here until the ground freezes, if it would just stop raining.....

Thanks Whyme! I noted the horseshoe has 7 nail heads. Found out this is another aspect of the "luck" associated with this. HH & GL!

Thanks Smokey and congrats on those "colonial" bits. You know why mine look good .... they're not farm field injuns.

Thanks Rook! I keep adding to the "clad hoard"; good to get a little return for the gas to and from.
