Hello, I finally got around to detecting an old spring site that I was given permission to check out :icon_thumright: This area is connected to county property and I knew about it from an older gentlemen who use to work with me in that area cutting down dead timber. It is at the bottom of a 90 degree bend in the woods where it drains into a major creek in our area. It is stone lined from a long time ago and in the flat bottom there is a house foundation and a small mill pond from an old saw mill. I didn't find alot, but a decent shaped 1890 Indian head penny and this small 2 inch sterling silver pocket knife :headbang: I used electrolysis on it , but I know the blade was medal and was wondering if I should leave the rest alone :icon_scratch: I also found, what I am sure is a sword point, that is about 3 inches long and very heavy. I have pictures of the area , the penny and the pocket knife. The sword tip, I would like to work on and I will post later on. The house area was too grown up to detect and I may try it later on in early winter :thumbsup: Thanks for looking :coffee2: Paul
