Detecting on a new permission today. House was built in the early 30s and is a rental so a lot of recent activity. Figured it would be full of a lot of junk but it wasn’t bad.



One of the first finds was this silver (sterling I think) pendent.

New Brighton Tower 14th Eisteddfod. 19th Sept 1914.

Makers mark has an A&B then an Anchor Lion and P which lines up with silver smiths in Great Britain.

The tower was dismantled in 1919 and the Beatles appeared to play in what was left of the ballroom until a fire in the 1960s.

Also dug a nice IH Penny. 1898

Old maps don’t even show a house within a half a mile of this location in the 1800s so hard to say how it ended up there.

Also found a couple of wheatie’s, one dating back to what looks like 1927 or 1929.

Nice lighter, some clad, couple brass pieces (a snuffer, or bell piece) and what looks like a costume jewelry piece...maybe not. Has some stones set but can’t tell. Might have to do some tests.

Oh and a nice dog tax tag

WVExplorer, nice hunt and saves. Congrat's.
 

WVExplorer: is the bullet all metal, or how did you find it?

It’s actually all plastic. It was in a hole with a bottle cap. I love finding non metal objects (Like marbles) while metal detecting. I saw it before the cap and thought it was the target but the pin pointer wasn’t going off. It was odd until I realized it was plastic.
