    Second trip to oldest house in my city

    Yes, I am a slacker when it comes to posting finds. I just cross my fingers hoping the photos come out in the right direction for you guys. One 1887 IHP. Couple buckles, an old metal toy truck that has France on the back of it. Looks somewhat crudely made. No idea on what type of brand it is. 2 iron spoon bowls. Lantern piece. The circle object is solid brass, pretty heavy for it's size (little bigger than a silver dollar), and last looks like an iron shoe horn. I spent about 4 hours here this time and found a bunch of flashing and other garbage we all find. Then I found the old fire pit and stayed in this spot for about 1 hour and got all of these within 100 sq. feet. Discouraging day to start, but ended well. I will be going back this weekend and try to post sooner next time. Good luck out there everyone!

    That IH looks terrific! I hate flashing and other high conducting garbage. When do you use your ATpro as opposed to the 3030?

    It's always good to find those old relics! I hate those little roof nails for the slate tiles! They ring up exactly like Indian Head Cents. Some old yards are just full of them from where the slate tiles were replaced with shingles. Best wishes and happy digging, Dave.

    Congrats ! Nice going on the relics and the Indian Head . I was hoping to possibly find Indian at my present hunt site but it doesn't look like it's going to happen . If it does , I hope it's "Zit free" like yours .

    Thanks Everyone. Sorry for not responding sooner. Homeowner life kicked in big time this week. Storm damage and my blower in attic for AC started leaking and messed up my hall/closet etc. Very aggravating couple weeks.

    @OxShoeDrew - Right now I don't have my AT Pro for I am loaning it to a friend of mine in TX who let me hunt his property 2 years ago. Honestly though, I almost exclusively use my 3030. I see no reason to use my AT Pro anymore since I got incredibly good at the beeps of the CTX3030.
