No snappy topic, just coins, relics and pictures.

Started out at one of the pits in my 40 foundation site, I try to take a few shots of each celler hole as I hunt them. I think I posted pics of about a dozen or so, so far. Unfortunetly only the relics were found at this one. The door lock face seems to once had a guard covering the key hole. The other item (correct me if im wrong) looks like it was a wick holder for a lantern of some sort. It was turning into a long day with little to show for it. So the last hour of the day I decided to check an empty lot where a hotel once stood. Once I got there and started hunting It was just wheat after wheat after wheat...but one of those wheats turned into a nice green crusty 1887 Injun once I cleaned the dirt off it at home, :thumbsup:

...So in between all these wheats, I get this deep iron hit that really wants to say silver, every other pass was a high coin hit, so I do a quick pinpoint and at 6" down was this merc, all rusted together between 2 bolts, I almost threw it away untill I saw the reeded edge, I gave it a twisting squeeze and the bolts disintegraded right in my hand. you can see the rust in the pic of the rev. If this didnt give a good signal in all directions I never would have dug it. too bad its crusted over the date.

enjoy...

That place is screaming silver for sure.

Little things like the dime between the bolts sometimes makes me wish the things could talk so we could find out how it got there.

Great day for you.
