started on two new field sites, got some keepers today

[Goes4ever]

Today I started on two new sites, they are right beside each other in the same field. One is an old homesite and the other is the site of a one room school site. Here is where I was today.........

first good target of the day was on the school site, and it was an 1892 Indian penny, always a good start

next was another interesting piece, it is this ultra tiny statue of liberty, not sure what it is, perhaps a small piece of jewelry?

got another indian shortly after that, this one was a 1900.......here are both of the IHC all cleaned up, they are a lil rough from all those years in the field fertilizer

Next I thought I'd move down to the homesite to try it out a bit, I kept getting solid penny signals and every one was those copper things that they used to hold on slate roofs, man those give a good signal!

I got an odd looking buckle, ...........then the find of the day for me, 1951 Ohio Chauffeur badge. This is a find I was real happy with.

here it is all cleaned up, turned out real nice!

and here is everything all together.............pretty good day, going back tomorrow, hopefully get some more goodies

Looks like you've got yourself a couple of nice sites ... the IHs are nice but the chauffuer's badge is a really nice find and in good shape as well ... nice job with the photos too ... good luck on your next hunt ~ Jimmy

Great digs, and the badge is something that is worthy of the display case, it's in GREAT condition!

It's amazing what one can find in a farmer's field...

the badge took some work, first I cleaned it with warm water and soap, there was some corrsion on it, so I soaked it in lime a way for 15 minutes, that ate most of the corrosion off, then I took my dremel tool and attached a cloth polishing tip and shined it up a bit, I think it turned out real good

Those are a nice collection of finds, especially the badge! The buckle is off of a horse harness used by farmers in the good ol days

Fantastic finds. The liberty badge looks like it probably came from some celebration at one stage, maybe a birthday for the statue of liberty. the Chauffeur badge is very nice, im sure someone will be able to tell you who it belonged to, why would you need a to be registered as a chauffeur anyway? I mean you don't get badges for all the other types of work do you?

God bless
