Pulling up big silver at the old farm today

BomberJohn · Apr 19, 2009

Well, it was a beautiful day today here. Must have been around 70. Spent the entire day back at my farm. Got a lovely sunburn on the back of my neck and around the headphone on my right ear. (I only use one ear piece while I detect) Well, to make a long story short I pulled out a bunch of goodies today; the best being a 1878 Morgan Dollar (Philadelphia-8 tail feathers) in excellent condition, but stained. She's a heavy one.
Also, found a 1941 Mercury Dime, a 1911 (worn) V Nickel, a 1907 Indian Head penny, another flat button, a token (Starch Co.?), couple tack buckles, a colonial clay pipe piece (notice the "1" on the side and a backwards "21" on the little nipple piece), and a few other brass thingies.

Thanks for looking. HH
John

Oh yeah, forgot the compact. It's from the 20's/30's. It was found closed. When I opened it, it had the glass beads and brass peices of a bracelet or something in.

And what looks like a .22 bullet. Interesting how white it is. Never seen one that way.

Thanks! The trick with the camera is to know how to use it. Macro mode is a great tool for those close-up pics. And taking the pics in direct sunlight (no flash) is important too.
