Hour with no power - 7/28

Warning: Lame report....

This weekend was a bust. Wandered into local woods I figured out who owned. Found stone walls, ammo leavings, and crazy growth & spider infestations. Oh well.

Got home tonight tonight before 7PM to find the power was out. Was laughing with a friend earlier that it looked like my area was getting pounded again (had hail last night). D'oh...
It was gorgeous out by now, so grabbed the detector and went out to hit the lawn until the power came back or dark. I have 2 or 3 acres of what must be fill the property was built over to detect on. From the mapping I've found, this area wasn't developed much earlier than the late 60's. 2 oxen shoes a couple months ago when I first got the detector, to finally hitting it again today.

The fake button was shallow (it's a 2 piece jacket snap), but everything else was 6-8" down. The iron ring was super crusty, I think that's a lantern piece (?), a brass or bronze wing nut and part of the threading, and I question the buckle heritage. The penny and dime represent other coins I pulled here, mid to late 60's (dime is 65). Silver hates me apparently.

Slow digging is better than no digging.

6-8" down is some good diggin! I hate 1965 :lol:

We'll we all have those kind of days don't we? That is what makes the good days all the sweeter!

Well put Bell....At least your digging:grin:

You didn't come back empty handed though :grin:

Don't take it personal. Silver is a fickle mistress. ;)

Thanks fellas.

Definitely not complaining, just me being funny. If that fill is full of relics, gotta be a real coin in there somewhere. Plus it's more practice for getting my degree in Lawn Surgery. Hit it again for a quick 1/2 hour when I got out of work before duties called, but one of my neighbors wandered across the street to chat and watch. So, got maybe 15 minutes to myself. Still no silver... :lol:

It was gorgeous out today. Hopefully folks out here got to take advantage of it.

My son has asked me if they minted a gajillion coins in '65 because they seem to be everywhere. I hadn't noticed before but since he said that I think he's right. Still, though, a decent evening outside it sounds like.

Congrats for the finds. Safe & HH
