I bought the new XP HF 9” round coil this Friday and had to go test it at some sites that I have pounded hard over the last couple years, and see if I could scrape up a couple keepers. So far I’m liking it.
Saturday I went to a colonial site that I have dug 1720’s and war of 1812 relics.
Decided to go wide open in 60k. Ended up with many tiny pieces of lead and brass, and what I think might be a Flintlock lock-plate, which would be a first for me.
Im not very good with electrolysis, and someone gave me 2 gallons of this WD40 soak/rust remover.
So here’s what it looks like after 48 hours of soaking and a little light wire brushing.
I think I am starting to see the springs emerge.
Sunday i I went to a couple cannery sites that I have been to many times over and over.
These sites were seafood factories that were on the 1914 Sanbornes.
Ran the 9” HF in 30k and ended up with a few more local seafood industry piece work tokens.
I am am a bit of a token junky, and I don’t post much anymore.
So I’m including a pic of some 1890’s saloon tokens I dug the previous weekend, and one unknown heartbreaker that broke upon retrieval.
