    Tough hunt today!

    I have been trying to get permission to hunt this old property from the late 1800s. Just got it the other day and hit it a little today. It has this cool rock sistern that I am gonna dig out tomorrow. Never know. Anyway, this is some of the stuff I found. 1960 Quarter, fake diamond necklace with stones, some very large bullet shells, a harmonica brass and reed, some kind of brass tool, a 1946 Cuban Penny and some kind of shield.

    First 2 pics are 1 of 2 foundations on the property. The 3rd pic is the rock sistern. Sistern is to the left and mostly buried. It runs out a stone trench to the right @30ft long. Dug some today but nothing worth while.

    Very few harmonica reeds have that much "meat" on them around here. I never saw a Cuban coin before!! WOW...congrats! I bet you find lots more there!

    Tough hunt, but at least you didn't strike out.
    A silver quarter, a harmonica reed, and I really like the Cuban coin!
