Surry, Va 1910 farm house

[stringplucker]

My 2nd relic hunt. First location turned up nothing but junk so on my second hunt I changed locations to this farm house. Still a lot of junk........but, more interesting junk at least. This property has just been used for hunting over the past 20 years or so, so the shell casings are a major pain. I just got started in MD'ing but I'm already craving new places to hunt. Anyone in SE Virginia want to bring someone along, I will be up for it if time permits. Just shoot me a line.

Anywho, the only interesting items are the carburetor part, dug my first wheat penny, and a 1968 Dime with no mint mark. I'll look into the dime more because hasty research said it may be rare. Thanks for reading.

I'll have to figure out how to get a better pic for coins.

Yea, I need to control myself from running around like a mad man. I was limited to the shady areas today cause the sun was beating down. From what I was told, the house was made around 1900 to 1910. The house has a big letter G or C at the top center of the house, maybe that could help date it. All the nails on the house where round as well, although I did find one square nail. The closest map to that time frame I've found is 1865 and it is shown as a wooded area. I can't wait to get out there again.

All we do is think and look for new places to detect.

Went to the farm to go Bow hunting but decided to bring along the detector to fool with before going into the woods. Check out what I found.

I'll work on the clearer pics, they were taken from a phone. If I wouldn't have missed that dagnabit deer it would have been a perfect day. should I just start a new thread?
