Nice bell + 7 coppers

[K1DDO1979]

Hit a new wooded spot the past two days and had some luck. No silvers yet but hopefully in the long grassy spots I'm saving for spring. The soil was just nasty there on the coppers. They're in rough shape but I got a 1840 Nova Scotia token, 1876/1896/1917 Canadian large cents, 1920/1921/1929 Canadian small cents and a 1899 Indian head penny. They came out of the ground decent but as they dried out the edges just crumbled off. The big bell held up decent and still has the rusty clanger inside. I also got a decorative buckle and some other odds and ends. The ground is so hard and dry here that I had to search wooded areas to have a chance to dig. Thanks for looking! [emoji106]

Nice finds...I always like digging those bells!

The bell is the belle of the ball!...the buckle is solid too. Too bad the coppers are smoked. The double door knob? Cool!...
Guess there was a door long rotted away....

The relics are outstanding........too bad about the coppers. But, a good hunt considering the concrete soil that held them...........
We're finally getting some much needed rain here in PA.........we have the same soil conditions............hopefully some of it will sneak up to your area!!

Looks like some rain for me in the near future too. Its needed here big time. It's one of the driest summers ever. There is some forest fires still going and the province is putting a ban on people going in the woods at all. Yards are all brown and rivers are mostly dried up. I bet it would be good for some prospecting though? 🤔

You sure dig a lot of large coppers! Even in that condition I would be happy to dig those. I really like that bell, she's a beauty.

Thanks. I have some really good door knock spots coming up that should hold some good coins but I have to be patient. Everything is so dry I would mess up the yards big time trying to dig and probably lose the permissions. Need to wait for rain to get soft damp ground and nice green grass before any digs!

I hear you! I don't hunt my pioneer wagon crisscrossed golf course in this dry ass weather either. The grass is brown and crunchy, digging holes just look bad. Gotta wait for some much needed rain. Good luck at your new permissions after some rain.

Good that the rain is headed your way........I woke up this am and cheered the moist ground from an overnight rain. It's been off and on all day but has been a steady drizzle for about 3 hours now.......and there's more in the future forecasts over the next several days. The anticipation of good, clear signals and easier digging already has me itching to go out!! Now, I can attack several of those permissions that have been on the back burner for the past 4 to 5 weeks!!
Good bad weather and optimal hunting is in your near future, too.............

Congratulations on the coppers and the Bell.
We're expecting rain and thunderstorms, over the next 6 days. Supposed to be hot and humid too. We need the rain.

Forgot to mention I only got around 3 hours of hunting time total out of the last two days I was there!

I almost didn't click on this thread, but that bell is certainly worth the look!! AWESOME!!

 

[CASPER-2]

That is a really nice bell

Congrats on some very nice finds

Killer day... well done.
As far as I am concerned... this is what I would call a "stellar" relic day.

Doesn't get much better than this.
Coins are nice... but these items just scream history / mystery.
Which... Floats my boat.
Cool additions to any collection.

Thanks. I was mostly coin shooting looking for a old silver with the time I had. There are probably loads more relics left to dig there so you'll get to see more eventually! [emoji2][emoji106]
