Sloppy seconds somewhat satisfy.

Went to hit a lot where a house had been razed for construction purposes, only to find that there were already two detectorists there who had the same plan. The gentlemen were running a Whites V3i and an Explorer. Asked how they were doing and apparently they had some luck, some wheats, a couple IHPs, and a Buffalo nickel. Indicated the lot was loaded with trash, which I would expect for a razed house. I moved on to a school so as not to encroach. Doubled back later to find that those gentlemen had left. Wasn't sure it would be worth my while because the other guys were running decent equipment but decided I would poke around a bit to see if they left any goodies. I wasn't too disappointed.



Merc' dime.



Religious medallion. Likely pewter.



Large wrap ring, sterling silver.



Foreign Large Cent. British? Or British colony?



Some sort of brass pin.



A nice brass bell, minus the clapper. I'm guessing for an animal, maybe a goat.

I took the ATPro with a 5 x 8 coil. You can't beat this machine when searching for shallow targets in heavy trash like you would expect at a razed house.

Not really! They left a lot of trash on top of the ground. I remove the trash as I go so I don't wind up dealing with it again.
