Digger Al and I met up with Tony Two-cent Saturday for another hunt. Finds were hard to come by for me, but I did manage a cool 5 Cent token, a few wheats and an 1895 Indian Head. Alec dug a Rosie, a Soap Token, a couple of Cow Bells and a few wheats.
While we were there, a local detectorist stopped by and basically told us we were wasting our time because he's been hunting these spots for 30 years. All I can say about that is, read Tony Two-cent's post for Saturday.
Sunday morning I headed out to a spot that Zrickkid told me about. It was an old sports field that they were stripping the grass off of. Unfortunately, it rained for a couple of hours last night and it was a muddy mess. So, I decided to door knock a couple of 1900s houses while I was there. I got permission to detect two houses. ( Parkway only on both ). The first one I dug a 1928 Merc. a religious pendant, a couple of lamp finials and one wheat cent. At the second house I dug a 1917 merc, a Smiley face Token, a Clown Face Token and two wheat Cents. Thanks for looking.
