SILVER,car wreck and ............

[BIGHEAD]

Hi guys I haven't had a chance to post in a while so I thought I'd show you some finds from the last week. I have two new sites to hunt that have a lot of promise for old coins and artifacts. one site is 8 acres that used to be a dump site for the city incinerators from the 30's to about 1956. I found my second silver on my first day of hunting it . It's a merc in real bad shape,but silver is silver. I also found alot of bottles and an old brass make-up compact. On the other site I found three wheats, matchbox cars, a combination lighter and knife. As I went to leave I found an old brioche, I almost threw it in the trash pile until l saw the pin on the back. I went yesterday to a dirt pile that was dug from downtown Pensacola. I found some old pieces of some 1700's bottles,and pottery but i lost my digging knife . Local Md's have been finding alot of old stuff in this dirt pile, when i was there so were 3 other people. I went home and built a sifting screen and i'm going back this week, i will keep you posted on my finds. Anyway thanks for looking and HH Bighead.

Hey Bighead,

I found a compact exactly like the one you show there. I found mine at a site where 3 home were ripped down some months back. the homes are on a street that has been there since the late 1800s. I only found one wheatie, and some 50s coinage, but there is so much crap in the ground it is hard to decide when to dig or not. Every inch is a signal of mostly iron. A few of them turned up some square nails, which is really cool, and gives a better detail to the potential age of the buildings that were on the site.

Good luck on your dirt pile.

Nice finds! Check to see if your camera has a "Macro" mode or a picture/icon of a flower, try that for the close up photos. Most modern digital cameras have this feature. GL, Mark
