Yes I went back to the golf course. Got a couple more merc's - 1936 and 1939. The 1936 was captured on the way back to the car. Managed another wheat - 1945. Got a couple more tack buckles and I also put up a picture of my bucket of buckles. A hem weight, what I think is a gas valve and some...

Went back to the golf course Saturday and Sunday. Got 2 silvers - a 1944 merc and a 1946 rosie. 2 wheat's - one from the 50's and one from the 40's. A very small gold charm with 10k stamped on the back. A couple of nice buttons and some odds and ends misc "stuff". The flat button has a back...

An accumulation of several hunts. A couple at the golf course where 4 of the wheat's and the rosie were found. Got out with RobW at a couple of his permissions. Got the Columbia tag (my hometown) and another wheat. I believe that the tag is at least early 60's cause of the way MASS is used and...

Was able to get in two hunts, today and yesterday. Wheats are 1957 - 1944 - 1944d. Two silvers are a 1946 Wash and 1952 Rosie. Got a car wash token and a bridal rosette. Not like the old days as the hunting areas are now basically restricted to only a couple of lots. Thanks for reading and HH...

Been going back to the golf course lately because it is close and I don't have to worry about the social distancing thing. Yesterday RobW and myself went to the golf course and I managed a few goodies. Surprised to see such big pieces of metal still coming out of the ground. As far as coins...

Hi All, I know I haven't been very active of late. Have not gotten out much but here are a couple finds. 1941 and 1945D mercs - -1901 barber dime and some wheat's Hope everybody is healthy and HH Al

My detecting has slowed to a crawl. Now it's an issue with my ankles. I have managed to get out for some short hunts. Got my second oldest dog tag, 1912. From my hometown and from the same yard I had gotten my oldest, a 1907. Some sort of tag again from Westfield. I have no idea what it went...

So I was able to get out to the golf course. Was able to do the lots that relatives have purchased and also went to my favorite copper field. Got copper number 33 from the copper field and its a 1600's French Liard. Managed some flat buttons, One has a design and the shank. Also managed the...

Found this today at my favorite copper field. I put the dime in for size reference. I have taken pictures of both sides plus rotating 180 degrees. Looks very old, copper and I can make out some letters. They are (maybe) ART and D2. Really need some help here. Thanks, Al

Found this the other day. I can't seem to make out the letters at the top but the bottom letters are SC. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Al

Not many 1/2 cents are found...congrats on yours. Funny that it is an 1829 as I just bought one.

Thanks for the thoughts. I do own 4 animal drawn cast iron toys and I took some pics. I put my leg in for a size reference and my leg is way to big. Thoughts???

I found this on one of my outings to my copper hole. I think that it is part of a weather vane but waiting to hear other opinions. It is made out of cast iron and I put a penny in for size reference. Looks to me like a cow leg????
