Thursday night was actually the first hunt. I was out late BSing with the couple that owned the house. This was the third time being there. I tried first with the new Tpro but the dog fence was killing it. The guy was a white's guy so I did wanna show it to him. I went to work out front with the GTI trying to find a good frequency. That hunt I didn't have the Tranger with me, which didn't have an issue with the fence until I was within 3 feet of it so I had to make due with the GTI. I had to move the car when the daughter left, and he came out to see the machine. He turned off the dog fence for me and took a look at the new machine. He likes it. I did pull up a zincoln near the back driveway, but as soon as I came around to the side, the next target was this huge button. It was caked with dirt so I just thought it was a large flat button. I was wrong with that one. Idk why I didn't realize too how large it really was. It looks like an oversized dandy. There was only 1 button I have dug that is bigger than this one. I took a pic of all the different sizes of buttons I dug (yes the two dandies are not exactly the same size). There was the back of a button that came up too. It was ornate for some reason and it reminds me of Jim's dandy with the 6 red 'stones' altho mine are iron. Perfectly at the corners of a hexagon. I got a chappe piece, and showing that I realized from the second site mentioned here, last site where the buckle and LC came from, was an iron chappe. Over near this exposed rock top in the yard there was a plated spoon made by Newport Silver Plate (Sears Roebuck, Prob from the 20's or thereabouts). I didn't have too much daylight. The two wheats were iffy targets. 1913 and 1920.

Friday I only got an hour of hunting despite taking a day off. I waited for someone to return home and then go... and then want to leave. We got to the stores afterward, however, when it was dark because the place isn't close. She got the change dropped by a hunter. Too bad it was modern. She found an area with a ton of shells. I pulled up a bunch myself, but just around where the old structure was. Out back there is a partial car chassis and collapsed shed. Near there I got some strange triangular pieces of fabric with the brass tarp loops in it. There were 4 or 5 of those I pulled up. I did get my first silver (plated) knee buckle that day up behind the structure. There was a bullet embedded in a dead tree branch. I also got a pewter spoon/fork handle.

Saturday I got out with Mike. There was a text on Wed to possibly get out. We went up to try the spot where I got a largie and the three buttons I last posted about. He pulled up a nice bell, his first. Any of you who have heard of Dominique from the silverslingers, she'd be proud of it. I found a nice bottle that I will take a pic of soon. It was put in a different area of the house which is why no pic yet. Two finds I got I have no idea what they were but rang up sooo good. One like a quarter and one like a half dollar. One was a brass cap of some sort. Just smaller than a half dollar diameter top with scalloped edges. It was threaded on the inside so it wasn't too old, but it sure wasn't something you would get at the hardware store. Another was this rolled brass piece. Almost from flatstock. It reminded me of a cigar shape. idk. There was one rock I found with a big iron ring on it. Right there I found a large spoon, a matching smaller spoon, and a spoon bowl. It must have been a rock someone used to sit on and lounge and eat. We moved to another site. The apples there were ready to pick. Lucky for us there was more swinging room as the town had cut down some of the weeds/brush. I found a ton of vines wrapped around a telephone pole there (in what would be the house's front yard). I got a wrist watch piece and a nice big '57 chevy (from Zee toys made in Macau). It was still littered with golfballs but Mike said they were old, like from when he was a kid. It was nice to get out even tho the finds weren't that spectacular. There is so much space at the first site there is bound to be more. I just know it. The second site I know it cant be hit before. Idk if the town did something with the yard, however, when the structure was torn down and filled in.
