X-rated naughty token + more

ModernMiner · May 23, 2009

O.K. folks, these are my pitiful finds from the last few days minus about $2.50 in clad. :'(

FRIDAY-
I hit the 1830's CW house on my way home from work. I detected out in the nicely mowed field, but this time since the finds have been getting scarce, I used All Metal mode. I hardly ever use All Metal unless I'm hunting a clean area. Anyways, in a short time I was digging up a lot of rusty relics that were deep. I was very impressed with the Mighty Tesoro again, as I dug a small signal that turned out to be a small cuff button at about 10" deep! The soil wet fairly wet so the iron was sounding out loud & clear. I have dug a lot of spikes in this area, and I'm fairly certain they were used as tent stakes for CW troops. I've dug many CW bullets, buttons, and rusty pocket knifes in that area in the past. The rusty relics pictured are only from a small area, so I'll have to get back and hit some more of the field in All Metal mode.
I'm not sure what the twisted brass buckle could have been used for :icon_scratch:

, but it is solid. I can't even unbend it without using some tools.

SATURDAY-
I hit a lot with Bob & Bill today where an old house used to be. Right away I dug a token. It was only about 10' away from my first naughty token that I dug last week. Of course this one also turned out to be a naughty token, but only worse!

The from has Capricorn on it, but the back I can't post or I'll get booted off TN.

Let's just say, the couple on the back were VERY close to each other. :tongue3:

Not much in the way of finds for me lately, but I'm just killing time until fall. :thumbsup:

Have a good one,
MM

P.S. Ty- Do you recognize that large nut? :thumbsup:

Thanks Jeff.
You have a good memory. I found the other part of that bracelet months ago.

It's amazing how you go cover over and over an area and moths later more signals pop up. This was right in the front yard too where me & many other TN members (I won't mention names

) have been.
Have a great weekend.
Can I post the back of that token? Just kidding, it's already glued to my bedroom ceiling. :thumbsup:

I think I'll do that with the one I found and keep the binoculars on the nightstand :tongue3:

Nice finds Doug! It's always a downer when the finds slow down at a fruitful site..I guess after a while we come to the realization that the finds don't actually grow there, they had to be lost by someone

I found the innards of an old pocketwatch similar to yours at a house built in 1925.

It is nice to see that my buddy from NC is still pulling out the goodies in abundance! No matter how many times that 1830s property has been hit, I know there are still a handful more early relics waiting for you, Dug!

I don't have to say, because I know your passion is always high, buddy!

Thanks Nana.
Maybe the house that used to be there was a brothel? :icon_scratch:

Kyle,
I'm not giving up yet at that place. I know there are still targets to be found, and the place is perfect to detect with it's grass trimmed low and soft soil.
"Come on LC!"

Nat,
The binoculars are a great idea, thanks. :tongue3:

This old place has turned up such a variety of neat finds including the piece of Spanish silver, Eagle sword belt plate, Infantry button, etc. 95% of the finds are from the lawn & trimmed field at this place. I haven't done much hunting in the woods there yet.

THANKS EVERYBODY. HAVE A GREAT MEMORIAL WEEKEND!!!

You have been a real "naughty" boy over the last weeks with those token finds. Nice finds!!! We are cutting hay in Tennessee now so the summer CW relic season will soon begin. Happy hunting.

Welcome to the Naughty Token club. On my first hunt with my MXT at a local park I found a Scorpio version of this token. Interestingly enough it was in NC also.

Cool stuff Doug!
You know we all want to see the other side of that token! 8)
Maybe you can sensor it!

Rob,
If I did sensor it, there would be nothing left but the rim. :tongue3:
