After hounding Dan, four of us got out. Finally I got to meet Dave and Todd. They aren't part of the nutty crew, or they were only putting on a show for me to think not. LOl. Nice winter hunt where I was hoping my new gloves showed up. I was warm the whole day except for my hands. The new gloves hadn't arrived before getting out.There was a long drive to get there and none of it was highway. We were watching all the nice old houses and possible town greens to hit. It was a hike to get in to find the cellar hole. Fields were massive in size there. We stopped at what looked like a pen by the side of the road. I pulled a scrap piece of brass. We walked a while up to a barn spot and started hunting. Right up at the barn I got a good signal that disappeared when i dug, but just a foot away i got a higher signal. I dug down and stuck between the rocks was a door handle. The lock is newer as it has a normal key lock. I went up through the briers and vines and just at a clearing I get another signal. I thought it was another lock but after being in the pocket for a bit the dirt inside dried out and fell out. It was some sort of light socket with the electrodes still in it. I was the one to finally found the cellar hole. About 10 feet away I got a signal close to a pull tab. It was hard to pinpoint. I dug down and found a piece of glass, then some ribbed piece of metal. There was a nail and a screw and then a few pieces of a mason jar top. Gahh. I am missing 1 piece from it being complete. Checking the area as I got another signal in the same swing, there was a penny reading. I dug down and out pops a sash buckle half with a nice green patina. Somewhere close between the house and what I figured was driveway I found a small D buckle. At the opening of the wall I found a round ball. I thought it was a large crotal ball as It came out of the ground. Seems like it was actually a brass bed post cap. I had went to get Dave as he was the only one I saw to show the sash buckle and the cellar hole. Now I am thinking I should have taken a pic so Dan and Todd can see it if they go back, and just to know. Dave came up and started swinging around. He spotted the well. On the way back to grab my shovel I got a real nice number. Something like a silver quarter. I pinpointed and then put it back into normal program and this time it was even higher swinging directly over it. Once the leaves were moved away, something was slightly sticking out of the ground. I was prying a little to get it out. The holes made me think it was something having to do with a shoe, until it came out and I see the four main holes. There was a head gasket in the middle of the woods. There was a bit of trash in the area, even an axle. We walked along the road. I got a few hits along the way. Random to find a big deep sea fishing weight in the middle of the woods, and on top of the ground. There was some more hiking but not many more finds. Thanks guys for getting out. Hopefully they didn't mind the time waiting for me to regroup. Obvi the pics interest all. There is some gilt still left on the sash buckle. Not sure if I wanna try to clean it up. The top fold already broke off in my chest pocket. Oh... and sure enough the gloves are waiting in a box on the door step when I get home. I could have used those while I was out.
The cam wasnt good enough to get the Gilt, I circled it but it's a little larger than what was picked up by camera. Bri, you want the sinker? Lol.
