Well today I headed out to the woods with BillT36, MikeWaz & Twistidd for some more fun. I have been looking on old areal pix of a certain area that I thought might have been a picnic grove back in the day so I talked the guys into going over and checking it out with me, I have never been there before and I really had no idea if it would even pan out. Well once we walked there, it was pretty much out in the middle of the woods and I thought maybe this was the place. Once there we sorta split up and off we went looking for any indication that this was the spot.
Well my very first target was an old glass salt shaker with just a tad bit of the metal cap still attached. I knew it was the place that I saw on the pix. In certain places you couldn't find any signal to save your life than in other spots all's you would get was iron targets. I was making my way over to a big oak tree when at the base I got a high silver scream but it was on the surface, I brushed away the leaves and like a 1/4 inch of dirt and when I looked I say a bracelet laying right on top of one of the tree roots. I picked it up and saw a name on the front, I thought it said "Marty"... Then I turned it over and saw "From Jim 12-25-48" and "sterling". I though oh god I found some long lost mushroom hunters love bracelet, later when I showed the guys Mike said its Mary... LOL I didn't clean it all off when I looked.
After moving around a lot I got a penny target and soon realized that 2 more coins were in the hole! Today I found 4 mini pocket spills, 2 with 3 coins and 2 with 2 coins. My very last target was a bouncy penny signal and I almost skipped it as it was only 2 inches, well it turned out to be the biggest BSA pin/badge that I have found yet - its the size of a half dollar!!! I rubbed it with my thumb and instantly saw a ton of guilt still on it, then I turned it over and saw Pat. 1911. After that we headed over to a sports field where I found maybe 2 dollars in clad and the tackiest necklace pendant that I have ever saw, it was one of those tee shirts without the sleeves aka "wifebeaters" it was copper so I didn't take a pix of it. I had a great day I only wish we would of found more silver - sorry guys...
This was my 4th hunt for the season and I got my 3rd silver coin and if you count the bracelet then my 4th silver.
Ok here are my finds:
