    Park, Yard and Project Finds

    I have had some more visits to several projects since last week and also hit a yard of a 1906 home. The owner was regrading his whole yard, so I stopped and asked, he said have fun! The Buff, Pontiac token and misc were from a small park brush clearing.

    Very cool finds! Last pic, that plate looks like maybe part of a printing plate maybe? Love to know what it says.

    Yes, this is a lead printing plate partial remnant from an old 1920's advertisement for the same company as this one.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but your finds look to have picked up. Do you think that's from new locations or do you contribute some of it to the new Nox? Just curious on your thoughts. If you've even given it any thought.

    It helps to actually be out detecting! Due to my job, I have not detected or posted much in the past 3-4 years or so, but with more time now in the current situation, I am trying to take advantage. The deep park finds like some of the silver and some of the wheats and nickels, definitely would have been missed with the old machine. Also, on the projects with the recovery speed on the Nox, also finding things I probably would not have hit on in the past.

    Nice digs! I like the bobcat pin and the hotwheels. I wonder if that arm belongs to that head.
