Considering the date, and conditions I'll take it.
Did the chores, time left in the day so I figured why not go for a year end hunt.
Really I wouldn't be inclined on doing a post, but trying to make an effort.
So I went to the GW site (GW button) always thinking there might be more, right.
This site is heavy iron, easy digging but there's so much of it here.
I went more than 2 hrs with not a single non-ferrous target.
Found another iron patch, went to parts of the site I hadn't detected, nothing.
Then in the meadow field they had mowed the brush down.
So my first good dig-able target was the pocket watch.
Wesclox Peterborough Canada
Cheap brass farmers watch from 20's/30's er
It was getting late so I figured to call it, then another little keeper was a rein guide. Kind of a different type with the hole in the base. I'll take it for sure
So I had 2 items in the pouch, and I was calling it, so I just started up the slope to the actual site
yup, I got a sweet mid 90s signal. Dig wide, dig deep flipped the clod and saw the edge.
Ok photo time.
Half penny, green being left behind, not the best sign.
But what the heck, it's 167 yrs old and it's going home with me.
So there you good folks go, a making leather out of an old sow's ear post.
Happy New year to all.
Thanks for looking.
