It is a bit amazing how my oldest dateable copper was a 1787 CT as the first LC I found sometime last year. Now within a week my oldest find goes to a KG2 old bust (1740-1760) and then to a KG2 young bust. We all ended up walking away with coppers yesterday. The site we hit actually turned out...

These were also at the site. A buckle with the leather still attached and a small chain and another lantern piece and harmonica reed. I took another pic of one buckle that still has a lot of silvery plate remaining. In the tub pic cuz most here aren't on the club site, the flat cone pieces are...

I'll include Tues in here but there was only a few finds there. Tuesday I went a few towns over while the rain was just finishing up. I got out into the woods at a site I thought wasn't hit. I didn't get much iron in the area which did make me question a bit. The site was weird to begin with...

Saturday I went to hit the field, where I got the Barber and rosie, with Roger. The only coin that came up between us was a 1937 wheat. Apparently neither of us got the right area. It was a little bit of a let down. I even found a few targets that were really good sounding; turns out they were...

The date of this is semi-visible. The fact there is pitting, any zooming enhances the pitting and makes it more prevalent than the date is. To me it looks almost like 1839 and with a different head than the 1818/1820, I am thinking that it is the booby head variety, making it a 1839. I did try...

The pic of the bottle. I think Mike said it was a wine bottle. Obvi it's newer than 1960 with a screw top and no printing on the bottle of "Federal law prohibits reuse of this bottle" from the prohibition times. Just cool looking tho.

Thursday night was actually the first hunt. I was out late BSing with the couple that owned the house. This was the third time being there. I tried first with the new Tpro but the dog fence was killing it. The guy was a white's guy so I did wanna show it to him. I went to work out front with the...

Yesterday I got the courage to ask a permission. The permission was for a property that wasn't their house they live, but used to have an old house. They were questioning why I was interested in the town and it's history and how I knew about the place. The fact that they let a hunter go up there...

Dan, yes and no. I think it does have a lot to do with the sites whether it's a high or a low. That farm field didn't look like it got turned yet a barber half was only 2-3" down. I think the first site, which Drew is talking about, used the be frequented by hikers before 2001. My coworker lives...

Saturday I got out fairly early for a weekend. I went up to the area where many cellars exist. I brought the new machine with me hoping to make some good finds. Out of the 5 cellars that I looked at (all on the same road just one right after the other) I only managed to get 3 worth while finds...

Yeah, Dan. I'd say it is a good machine. Altho I attribute the barber half and this recent rosie to the Tranger. Who knows, maybe I will look into getting a bigger coil for the White's for farm fields (cuz obtaining with this style connector is easier and the machine is a little lighter) I did...

Lol. Thanks Dan. This is what it looked like yesterday. I gotta get back into the folklore one in my area that I was doing some research on. I am guessing by the question by Dan that an encampment wouldn't have been at the top of a hill. For some reason I thought that it was a better...

Not gonna create another thread just for this. Got a short hunt in at the place where I got two ox knobs. In the front yard I got a full harmonica reed. Over near where I got the ox knobs I pulled up this nice bell worthy of The Silverslingers. EEEE. A brass bell with the inside nice and green...

When I used to do only hiking I would have pix from places like Talcott Ridge. Nice rolling hills in your area. Guess you gotta research it just a tad more. Like I had to do with the place I hit yesterday. Idk if those trees in 1934 were an orchard or evergreens and it seems the field I tried...

The luck streak continues. Labor day weekend was great despite the bs. A unique brooch and silver plate button and a nice dandy were the highlights. Wednesday the rents were still around although they planned to be out that day. I had to be at the club meeting. Their realtor showing up and...

The Odds and Ends pics I finally took yesterday along with the recent finds. There was a second clock weight I unearthed during the above mentioned hunt. Found 40 or so miles away from the first one. A fair amount must have been cast iron. The second pic shows the buckle, something like a...

Friday I got out with Kev to the site where I got my nice brooch. He got two flat buttons, one with an eagle backmark and best quality. Seems those are dated 1815-1830 but is civilian. I used the TR and the 4 Inch nugget coil this time and hit the cellar area well. I didn't quite get much time...

Wednesday night wasn't enough for me getting out and swinging for maybe 40 min. After work and the errand and unloading a few boxes I had to get out to hunt. First I was thinking to hit the cellar that I was hitting most recently...going to try and crack the code and find where the stuff is...

I have been conversing with the historian for the club and I have been researching. I am still not concrete on anything, but there was a bit more history to the club. It is quite a bit older than 1887. There was a mention of the name "Captain" Gillespie in the historical book who tried to revive...

Lol. There was only one pair. Just many pics to show the defining characteristics. Maybe you are correct. I have no idea... I tried to search the tools used for making shoes and these were nowhere to be found in the results. Are you sure? The design might be similar but it is quite big for...
