Newbie's finds 1st Silver
Just recieved my first detector today at 5:45pm, an Ace 250,out the door by 6:05pm. Walked across the street to an open field and found my first item,it seems to be a tap shoe cleat,its got a circle and the words tip,tap,top around it, it appears to be aluminum or white metal, it was about 5in down. Second find was the piece of brass pipe about 3ft away at the same depth. Last find was the dime about 5ft away and about 4in down. 1st detector and first silver all in the same day. Been doing research of the area and found a map from 1869 showing 4 buildings across the street,needless to say that they are no longer there. Talked to my nieghbor 70yrs old and she said when she was a little girl there was a gas station/general store on the corner. Need to go get permission tomorrow to detect the field.There is a man who comes here in the spring when they till up the land (26 acres) and justs walks the field finding arrow heads.This area was settled in late 1700's, early 1800's, lots of history here. I found 18 1 room school houses on the same map all within a 10 mile radius of my town.Can't wait to hit some of them soon. I think I will enjoy this hobby,just wanted to say hello and thanks for looking,very nice forum.
