Today's finds
Spend 2.5 hours hunting the high school again today. Covered less than 800 square feet. Most notable find appears to be either copper or brass, I believe a nozzle for a hose, stamped OnGuard. Buffing with steel wool really scratched it, but brought out the color, too.
Also found the atomizer pump, possibly for the CUBA top found yesterday, an elastic bandage clip, 18 Zincolns, 2 dimes, 4 nickels, and a chrome-like cap to something, in the upper right-hand corner.
Photos should be detailed enough to document what Oregon's acidic rainfall does to Zincolns: notches, badly eroded, barely identifiable after a few years. Some dated 2006 and 2008 were nearly eaten through already.
Any day I find a nickel I consider good. When I find 4 it's a pretty good day. Have found Buffs at the site in the past, but 25 years ago. And you'd kind of think the area has been finely combed through. But things keep popping up, and found one 6x8 foot area where it looked like everyone just tossed their change after coming out of a side entrance.
First 3 finds of the day were AA batteries. I don't usually find many of those, but 4 total for the day, most Duracell.
Found much more junk today, and was digging far more faint signals. Left 4 or 5 in the ground because they were 6-8 inches and machine would give an accurate pinpoint for them. Then again, maybe someone lost 20 nickels in a single square foot and the detector couldn't tell them apart: constant signals, almost continuous.
