I received an invite to hunt with Tnetters Washingtonian and his brother Washingtonian Jr.. They were on a metal detecting vacation and had lined up permissions in South Carolina, and generously asked if I was interested in joining them for a day. I jumped all over that!
The day startled early with a beautiful sunrise, and a biscuit from the temple of deliciousness that is Bojangles.
I arrived at the rendezvous point, we had introductions, and got down to business. The place was an old store and surrounding property. We found a few coins but nothing better than a 1917 wheatie.
Washingtonian decided that this wouldn’t work, so from a serendipitous door knock, he managed to get a hand full of spots for us to try. The places were spectacular, beautiful old properties, cool sunny weather and good company... but we didn’t find any old silver coins or CW relics. I kind of felt bad for the brothers. I’m used to not finding anything, so I was right at home.
Here is a picture of the guys, eating PB&J sandwiches and using their phone at the same time!
Here are the boys at an early 1800s property we hunted.
Here is a picture of all of my finds. Five wheaties, Tootsie, assorted brass and tractor parts.
I found a couple of plain flat buttons.
I found this spout, it’s brass, if you recognize it, let me know. I want it be from a powder flask, but it’s not.
I found a glass insulator and a deer shed, in the woods. There were at least a dozen insulators sticking out of the ground, I just took one.
Even though we didn’t find seated coins or CW relics, I had a great time, and can’t thank the brothers enough for their most generous invite. Spending time with like minded people is always the greatest treasure.
Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts.
