Weekend digs 10-22

[Brentallica]

Got out to a new yard Saturday and a repeat yard Sunday for a bit. Awesome weather
Found a 1902 Indian, 2 Mercs (1923, 1924), 25 Wheaties (range from 1909 to 1952D) and an old pocket watch. Fun diggins. Hope your getting out!

Re: Weekend digs

sweet digs Bro!!....you got some great finds there! That IH cleaned up good, and those mercs look pretty sweet!.....big o pile of wheats too.....looks like some were stuck together maybe. Glad you got out and recovered some keepers! Good hunting Brent.

btw....any idea on the 192 tag?....anything on the back?

Nice digs! Man I need to hunt an old yard soon! The 192 tag is likely a tool, locker, or swim type tag.

I found an old pocket watch similar to the one you found about 3 weeks ago. Mine has a white face on it but no glass either (at least it doesn't look like there is glass on yours). A really cool bunch of finds though. The body on mine appears to be brass or bronze that may have been plated at one time. Good finds.........congrats!

Nothing on the back - because it was an old farm, I kinda thought it may have been a number tag for an animal

Wow, the Boys of Jackson continue to rake in the goodies. All looks good to me! Do you hunt those old yards more than once usually?

Thank you Anne!
Usually only hunt a yard once. Will repeat a yard if the yard was very productive, I didn't complete it the first go around or if I am striking out on the door knocking. Good luck out there!

Thanks, Brent. I was just curious. I had one local yard, owned by friends, that I really hunted well. On about the 4th time gridding the front yard I found a men's ring. I could not figure out how I missed it the previous 3 hunts. It may have been with my other machine, I don't remember.

it does not come out of the ground much better than that IH. Congrats!
