I own a portion of a farm that was given in a dowry i the 1800's. the last Bell to live on this farmdied in a house fire in 1932. One and only person told me that they never found her head or the gold hoop earings she always wore. I teased my friends about bringing there metal detector and a hat box, and let's go hunting. I never really believed this story. The area is littered with nails, tin, and other trash so hunting there is hard. I decided to take my bobcat down to the old house seat and srape off the top layer. With about 30 minutes of daylight left, I grabbed my detector, and went at it. Heard the high sound i like to dig. Found the biggest horseshoe I have ever seen, then an empty cartridge. Scan the hole again, the high sound is still there. Carefully, in the dim light I scraped away the soil. Then I saw them. two round brassy objects, the edge just sticking out of the ground. Finger digging now till they moved and revealed themselves. Ever seen the inside of a pockect watch or wind up clock? thats what it was, two wheels out of one of those. You should have seen my wifes eyes when I told her and showed her the "earrings". priceless! looking forward to shareing real finds in the future. using a gamma 6000.
