Got out late Sunday afternoon for 4 -5 hours.Started out at an older park.I was digging just the deeper targets and still ended up with a fist full of clad and alot of garbage.Did manage to pull seven wheats (1912-1944).Also found a 44P nickel and an 18 with a full date and horn.Found my first "Merrywidows " condom container and a nice "Sterling" ring.Also an 84 Matchbox Mustang and what looks like a peephole insert for a door from Remington Hardware Co.One of the last finds was the barrel from a vintage cap gun.Having enough of the park I set out to find something older so I went to a deep woods cellar hole.This seems to be one of the oldest homesites Ive found in the area but I have yet to prove it.The site has no garbage and has no obvious sign of having been detected.I hunted around it for about an hour and found several 38WRA cartridges at about two inches. 3 Boyd jar lids at about 10 - 12 inches,a neat little pewter? button with 3 flowers at 4 - 5 inches and a fragile copper piece with moon,star,and rays at 4 - 5 inches.Also found a couple iron relics in the 8 inch range.given the lack of garbage this would be a good site for a deep seeking coil.There is a heavy canopy of trees and the ground is very humus.I believe the earth here has swallowed most small treasures a little deeper than my IDX can see.Ive got a DFX with a large Excelerator coil on my wish list.When I get that Ill return to see if my theory is true.Well...heres the pics.Thanks for looking and ...H.H.....Joe
