- Metal Detecting
Was on a ride on Monday, and noticed a home that was old when I was a kid had been removed. And it was not overgrown yet!
Returned there yesterday, and found that most of the area was covered with fill. After awhile I got a signal that turned out to be a mason jar lid, so I knew it had not been detected yet.
My first hit in coins mode on my AT turned out to be a coin spill at just 3-4". A 1912 wheat, 1914 wheat, 1891 IH, and 1858 Canadian dime. Hot dog, this is a hot spot!
After that it was mostly clads. Some as deep as 6" - go figure. Latest was 1986.
At about 6 o'clock I started to move back towards the car, but decided to make "one more swing", and moved towards the center of the lot, mostly covered in fill. I got a 60 to 80 mixed signal, and below the fill found black dirt. Out came an old cufflink that used to have an attachment of some sort.
My pin pointer indicated more metal so I kept digging. Out came another 1891 IH, with more detail than the first. I believe it has full liberty under the patina.
The pinpointer indicated more metal so I tried to work around the many roots, and began to find screws and an old ham bone. Had I found a junk pit?
As the pinpointer continued to indicate metal, I dug more and found a small metal strip that I could not move, and as the hole was getting pretty big, I decided to fill it in and clean up.
With the two targets, the screws, and trim, I wonder if I had found the remains of an old case of some sort?
