Last Tuesday,I spent 3 hours looking for a cellar in the heat, no luck. Got home,looked at my maps and realized I was probably a 100 yards away. It doesn't seem like much but at this time of year,you can be standing next to one in the woods and not see it.So I drove out today to try and find it. After 15 minutes,I came across a hole. Turned on the detector, no ground signals AT ALL! I will say I was a little depressed I wasn't even getting iron. About 30 feet away ,there was a big rock pile and I was wondering if it might be a cabin. Turned it on and in 2 swings,had a 70 on the Deus. 99.9% of the time , this is a pull tab. So I almost didn't dig it. If this wasn't in the woods, no way. It actually was a coin. British I think,someone will tell me. If I had to guess,a half cent of some sort or a kg farthing. Anyway, the front of this rock pile was about 20 by 20. I found a pewter button, flat button,what looks to be a melted button, small spoon bowl and a KG11, I think. The spoon is some strange material and it's made in a striped pattern. I'll have to go back in the fall or spring when I can really detect everything.
