Well, I haven’t had any really good finds lately but I have been getting out and enjoying myself with “leisure” hunts.
If you remember the house that I had to mow…I hit that place up again and came up with a little silver and the missing Oceanic Flight 815 plane!
The spoon is cool as it has a patent date of 1915. It was for the Hotel Cleveland that was built in 1918.
One of those Aluminum President Tokens:
Some kind of aluminum “whatsit”:
For all you button lovers I found a decent one. Actually found this one a couple months back and never got to posting it.
Recently I went back to a park that we have hunted a couple times before and didn’t find much. I was driving by the place and saw someone with one of those green garrett detectors coming up the hill from the park. So I got motivated to revisit the spot. So a week later I come back and since we haven’t had rain you could see all the “dead grass plugs” where the guy had dug. He really didn’t dig that many holes and it looked like he just hit the obvious spots. There really is a big lack of shallow targets at this park but I started hitting deep iffy signals. After an hour I had 19 wheat pennies but no silver. I knew there had to be silver. Nate came with me the next hunt and sure enough found the silver. At least I got a silver nickel. When it was all said and done I left with about 40 wheat pennies and 1 silver. Nate leaves with about 15 wheat pennies and 6 silver.
I guess I was spending too much time digging wheat pennies.
Here is a compilation of the stuff from the various places/hunts:
I also got out a few time with my water machine. The results were kind of pitiful but if you want to see they are posted here:

I tried to hide it under the horse. It's not a complete one. I think it's only the second one this year I have dug. The one to behold is in my beach finds post. That one was complete and a thing of beauty.
