OH, By the Way.

Because the Area Was So Large, I used my Sovereign with the WOT coil Today, to Cover More Ground.

Looks like lots of great possibilties, really nice coin !

Those are some very old looking sinkers and thats a very reasonable looking draped bust coin for being buried so long. Do you plan on soaking it?. You would be suprised at what an 1797 goes for, I've been bidding on them for months and have'nt got one yet, it's a hot item even in only a.g. condition. Go and get some more they are nice to look at.

Great coin and cool finds!! That shell is a rimfire. Don't know the caliber, but the U is like you find on 22 shells. A rimfire that large, I would think it's pretty old. WTG!!! HH

 

[jeff of pa]

Do you plan on soaking it?.

At This Point , I put it in a Holder.

The ONLY soakining I'v done Is In Dish Soap Water.

if it were 10 years Newer I'd Try & Clean it, However, I realy Don't Like To Mess with 18th Century U.S. Coins.

Their Value Keeps Riseing.

Re: SOME of Todays Finds - CABELA'S

Long flat Lead Wattzit
Says CABELAS has hole in one end

Jeff, I think this is probably a strip-type decoy weight, cast in one of the molds sold by Cabela's:

Cool digs, Jeff! Congrats!

 

[jeff of pa]

Neat stuff Jeff! Looks like a good spot. This must be the spot you were talking about when you thought the Shark Pit was the same kind of place you were searching.

No.
Different One ROB,

I just Wish This one wasnt a Hundred Mile Round Trip With todays Gas Prices.

Don't know IF or When I'll Ever Get Back

 

[Monty]

You'll probably have to stay until you find enough "stuff" to buy gas to come back! JIM
