worked half a day & headed up to a site me & frank spent quite some time at in the past.Frank got 2 coppers from this site in the past and he's been there a few times on his own.Today I just had a gut feeling there may be a few more keepers laying around.I worked the site for 3 hours and was suprised at the amount of targets still there when in the past it was relatively quiet.very dry soil so,maybe the iron isn't as conductive :confused:
anyways I nabbed a braided hair large cent,a toasted copper,a wasted flying eagle penny,some buttons,my 1st spur rowel wheel, a pewter tomahak head and i dug a handle to this scissor like contraption 2 hunts ago at a different site,today i gig a complete pair.what the heck are they and what are they used for? :confused:

Looks like your hunch paid off. Nice hunting. Once I saw the candle snuffers I actually knew what they were (for once) but that guy Del beat me to it. :congrats:
