Another Draped Bust and some buckles

[aloldstuff]

We were real slow at work today so my boss let me go early. Came home, charged up the battery and off I went to the golf course.

I believe that this is the 3rd Draped Bust out of there and this is the only one with a date....1801. Came out of my 3rd hole and it did not give a copper VDI????

A couple of more buckles and some clad.

It was a short hunt and thanks for reading. HH everyone.

Grass still manageable? You headed back this week?

Congrats on the drape bust, I just dug my second and both were dateless.. my last one rang up slighlty higher than a copper but it was crusted in a think green patina and had a huge halo in the plug guess 200 plus years in the ground will do that, did your ring higher or lower?

Thanks...not quite a flowing hair though.

Grass still doable....I will be in NH this week so no detecting. I might be able to get out on Mothers Day, if not then the following Tuesday.

The VDI was way off. Normally my coppers will ring up 78-83 VDI. This one and my 1819 rang up 89-91 with red and green indicators. This Draped Bust was about 25 yards away from my first one there and the 1819 was in between them. Looks like I should be concentrating in this area...

My coppers usually stay pretty consistent 81-83 but the drape bust rang up 88-89, I think its the halo because I dug two largies about 2 feet away and they both hit solid 83 , I would pound that area and dig every repeatable signal ( and even the choppy ones) but I tend to be dramatic in these situations

Way to go Al! Even found a ball mark tool. And a 217 year old copper ain't bad either.

Way to go Al! Do you know the history of the land pre-golf course days? Perhaps a tavern or meeting place once stood nearby way back?

Congrats on a great find. That golf course just keeps on giving.

I wish I knew the history. You may have guessed right about a tavern or meeting place.

Don, I'm in NH now and can't wait to get back to the course
