No, they all arent good hunts.

Tried a new to me place today. When I do that I usually just
wander and use the blind squirrel method. Covers more ground
and gives me a wider range of what might be expected from this field.



a pair of REM-UMC 25-35'S


This is an oddly shaped piece of lead I think.
Thing is, it appears to be broken off something.
I can't remember ever seeing lead "break".

Fishy seems to be having a larger problem.



'18 whole wheat toast.

Hope your day was better.
But, this site shows some potential. The 2 big
pieces of solid brass are pretty heavy. Maybe
I'll have a good recycle this year.

Thanks for peeking!

Still a good hunt site has potential. I usually wander around my first time at a new site also

Congrats on a pretty cool variety.
Years ago when I was first got into the plumbing trade, we worked with a lot of lead. We used bar solder to wipe joints on ferrules, goosenecks, and to join lead pipe. We also poured lead joints when making cast iron pipe connections. That piece of lead looks like it came from a cast iron joint.
Congrats on your finds

I like butter on my toast.

At least you don't fake your finds, (and find awesome Capped Halfs) I hope you were not stumbling too bad in this field. I was stumbling in the corn today. I just noticed you changed your signature, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I didn't come up with that name, you called yourself that first, before I called you that. Looks like a good spot to cherry-pick for awhile? Let the stumblegrid begin!

Damn now I got the hankering for some buttered toast now, lol literally.

That old wheat shows potential, go back and grid away!

Looks like a potentially "good" spot...
I Would return.

Wd.

Hunt the edges now. Looks good to me.

I was wondering how long it would take you to notice. LOL I may have mentioned that I was always stumbling in cornfields but I believe it was you who used it in the "Indian Name" form. I loved it and adopted.

As to the aspect of faking finds, I have a friend who no longer hunts, (paralyzed), but he lurks these pages. He told me there was absolutely no way I could be finding all the clad I post. I was probably just reusing old finds. UNTIL....I took my clad buckets over to his house so he could see! Was quite a workout!! LOL

Thanks guys! I see the potential in this place but I know a lot about how this place was formed. There was a LOT of earth moving done! The place is freakin' HUGE too! I'm positive that I'm not the only one to get the idea to check.

1918 Wheatie is a fine find in any condition because it shows a possible age reference. The lead, brass, gas valve etc does too. The loop of wire thingy next to the 25-35's kind of reminds me of part of an old rifle sling loop too.

But, I'll need quite a few more wanderings before I can start to form the mental map I form on any place. I seem to have quite a knack for remembering where things came out. After a good while I can start to see patterns. In this place, I'm thinking the patterns are going to be more of where did things get pushed to and piled up, rather than where a foundation was or the like. I know, for example, that they were scraping off the topsoil and putting it aside. They then formed the land the way they wanted and then spread the topsoil at the end. So, you see, if I start gridding it would be for a pocket that was found. Not the easiest place to hunt, but, certainly interesting!

In any case, thanks again for the response!

The lead piece is a broken piece of a truck wheel weight, usually made of lead/antimony alloy. Looks like it was a fun hunt.

I have to agree with your friend about all your clad. That is why I asked you how you found so many places to hunt in your last thread lol. I figured you must be hunting new places all the time.

Naw, not a LOT of new "places" per se, just a few, well chosen clad factories. Ya see, that's one thing about going back to places that show a tendency to be very target rich. After all, I have no qualms about finding a brand new diamond ring sometimes. These factories do just keep replenishing themselves. LOL
