Got out early to beat the heat for a few hours of detecting at a stock pen area I've hit many times before. All the easy targets are long gone but you can always squeak out something if you work at it. Ferns were thick in some spots.

But there were enough good targets to keep me busy. managed some buttons, reed, an old pocket watch base, scythe handle thingy, and some whatsits (I'll post those in the "What Is It" section).

Included was a nice gilded 1830's W.H. Jones button and a pocket watch base inscribed "J. Moore, London". From what I could find he was making pocket watches in the late 1700's. From all the watch jewel holes, I am guessing it was a quality piece.

Does this scythe handle thingy look like a Capped or a Draped Bust Quarter to anyone??? It doesn't to me either but it sounded so good when I swung the coil over it, I was sure it was deep, big, old, silver. I had found a sweet Capped Bust dime at this site a couple of years ago and I was drooling over this signal. These things have faked me out big time in the past several times. I must have 7 or 8 of them and everyone of them sounded like a big silver.
