Did not have a lot of time yesterday between yard work and Memorial Day doings so I was able to duck out for about an hour or so. Decided to stop by at a place we had hunted before. This place has a huge yard and a lot of history but I do believe that it had been detected before the current residents moved in. The place dates to the 1840’s and the oldest coins I have found there have been early wheaties. Today was the same with 4 wheaties, 1919, 1937, 1942 and 1944. The other neat finds were a toy gun and an engraved compact. The gun is a Super Nu-Matic, it used a paper strip instead of caps, a squeeze of the handle forced air through the strip and made a popping sound, this gun dates to the late 1940’s to early 1950’s. The compact was a deep find 9” and I was very pleased to find it. It has the name Mary engraved on the front and the style is similar to the 1920’s. Also found a trigger mechanism for another gun. Not great finds but a lot of fun and it was nice to hunt a yard again after field hunting.

Great gun and a nice compact too. Not used to seeing them in that shape, most around here are round. I think it was a good hunt!
