Tall grass cellar hole keeps producing nicely

[Tpmetal]

I cant wait to hunt this spot in the late fall, warm winter(if I am lucky enough not to have 3 feet of frozen ground), or early spring. So I had the liberty of being chauffeured around on friday night, and with my daughter being at her mothers, I did some late night drinking detecting. Oh what great fun. Stumbling around happily the the dark; I set forth to the task of working any bit of ground that the grass didn't keep my coil to high, or that didn't get me in a inebriated entanglement of thorns. Only tripping once or twice, I managed to pull some decent objects out. I grabbed a buffalo, couple of wheaties, an 1897 indian, curry comb piece, a oil lamp head, and a really cool hook thing(thinking part of old hanging gas/oil lamp or chandelier. Another day I went exploring for new cellar holes and came across a few. On one I did some quick test digging and found what looks to be a tombac button, an old silver plated fancy spoon, and some rivets. A bunch of these new cellar holes look untouched or only poked around on. Then a quick after work hunt while I waited to pick up my daughter from soccer practice yielded this cool old 1800s copper ring. One of my first signals and I spent the rest of the time looking for the stone with no luck.

I'll be fine haha, I drink maybe twice a month if I'm lucky. Ill be hammering it again soon hopefully. Though I did have an idea for a beer helmet combined with wireless headphones. too darn hard to hold my shovel beer and detector especially when my headphone wire gets tangled up.

Sounds like you were in a good patch of ground...giving up nice coins!

Nice locations you have there! I found my first silver coin hitting the old woods by my sons soccer practice. Now I've got 3 kids in soccer, so lots of opportunities for super quick jaunts in the woods. Congrats!

You do have yourself a tombac button, so that could be an early cellar hole there.

What are date ranges for tombac? I found it odd because my area wasn't settled until very early 1800s. I figured it was probably in the family awhile

"Late Night Drinking Detecting" aka (LNDD) sounds like a new, fun sport to replace football. I might give it a try (especially with friends to make it a bona fide party) but I know how it would end up for me: dirt smudges all over my face, prickers in my hair, and a raging case of poison ivy

Tombacs show up on mid 18th century sites up to around 1800. At least that's the case in my area (SW PA). You might find one dropped off a old coat as late as 1820, but that is rare.

So then its one of the first buttons ever dropped in my area, hahahaha
