TODAY WAS A LITTLE DISAPOINTING

[deepbeep]

I spent 12 hours in the hollow I have been researching. I dug every signal....but here is all I came up with. The gun is a toy. The two penneys are memorials.

As goes some days for many of us. I went back and pounded the spot where I found the LC on Friday for 3 hours and came away with nothing but iron

Hehe a lot of my days are a lot disappointing, but every once in awhile. . .You just never know and you gotta keep at it!!

lol.....I plan on being back in the valley at first light tomorrow, or shortly after. I am packing a lunch and plenty of soft drinks. I will be in the hollow for at least another 12 hours. I have permission to hunt over 12 acres, all of which had saloons, company houses, mule barns, the grist mill, etc. etc. on them. If I have still come up empty by 8:00pm tomorrow night, I am really going to start wondering! lol....but yes, just the scenery alone is a real treasure in that hollow.

Great looking sites and pictures! Amazing how some great sites don't produce. I've detected around castles and found nothing, LOL. June was a bad month for finds as I found very little until this weekend. Good luck today and HH, Mike

Very nice job on the toy gun! Looks to be from the 50's or newer. The key looking thing looks pretty old and has markings! I would definatly keep both of those! Looks like a successfull hunt!

Well, I was in the hollow 12 more hours today. I guess I have to say things were a little better. At least I found some things on the "no real value, but kinda cool to find scale". I hunted in the little medow north of the mule barn first. I started hitting lots of old cut nails, then a brass door striker plate. That gave me a pretty good indication I was at or near one of the two "company houses" that I thought sat in that medow.

The only coins I found was a small "spill" of 3 memorial pennys, the oldest of which was a 1975. Lots of junk, but nothing of value. After hitting it for about 4 hours or so, I decided to break for some lunch. There is a small picnic grove near by which is at the Chedister woolen mill. That area is off limits to detecting, but a beautiful setting for lunch along Silver creek.

After lunch, I headed for the south end of the same property I had been hunting. That is where the Mule barn foundation is, and where I found the toy gun yeasterday.

Here is where I found a couple of somewhat cool finds. Nothing of value, but really pretty cool to find.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who strikes out.

 

[garthbfan169]

I would def. head for the saloon's You know the local drunks dropped alot of coins there!! Can't wait to see your next set of finds!!

 

[deepbeep]

gilmerman,
What do you mean struck out? lol.....So far, I have found 5 memorial pennys, an axe head, and 2 harness buckles. That is at least a foul ball! It is the bottom of the 9th, bases loaded. We are down by 3 and the count is full. I am going back today, one more time!
