I went to a small park about a mile from here where I've gotten silver in the past but no luck today, I got an old belt buckle just like the one I was issued when I was in the army, some fake jewelry and all memorials except one clad dime.

I got me a Stanley crowbar, 7 memorials, a wheat and a couple plated spoons.

Here's the first pic I took of my finds. After checking it out and thinking HEY! I forgot all about a shiny little button thingy that I found too, I almost threw it away and I'm glad I didn't On closer inspection after cleaning you can see that it's well worn but looks like it use to say...

A mystery solved with one of my finds, some of you may recall the item I had on a previous post with a mystery item, well I found another one but this time it was inside the toy gun it goes too. The spoon VDI'd in the 50's, I dug one that looks just like it and its also made of a...

I found my first steam whistle, at least that's what it looks like to me. It's loud when you blow into it too.

I didn't get skunked on the coins I managed to find a clad dime, another neat old cast iron toy gun and the shutter/aperture mechanism to an old Kodak camera. My brother showed up there also and when I first found the toy gun he kept saying , no it's real, it's not a toy I must say the cast iron...

I ran in my normal coinmode with the D2 and did manage to conjure up a wheat from the deep, doghouse to a diecast firetruck, whatsit that's shaped like a gun clip?, 410shell, dart and a couple keys. I've found parts to that toy truck in the past but I've never kept them, now I wished I had.

Who knows their oxknobs? I think I might have found my first one.

I've always wanted to find an old match box and I finally found one this morning at the park/woods. It's spring loaded and when you press the button it flips open. Right after I found it I could hear the matches rattling around inside and I figured it couldn't be matches they be decomposed by...

I made these finds from a woods and torn down house spot. The Canadian is a 1903 (kinda hard seeing in the pic), I had to use electrolysis just to be able to see a date cause of the bad encrusted green corrosion that was on it. I figured what the heck it's a hole coin so I'm not going to hurt...

I met my brother there this morning, he managed to get a zinc and couple memorials, I got a 68S memorial (we don't get that many S mintmarks here in Michigan) and a neat cast iron cap gun, it's a Kilgore Presto. It's the first complete cast iron toy that I've found. I also found shotgun shells...

There was still quite a bit of snow in this woods that I met my brother at but it'll be gone before long. I did manage to get a few coins there though. If anyone has any idea what the Ashcroft thing is, I'd appreciate your knowledge. When I do a Google search on it I come up with gauge's the...

Got another hammer head but it's a lot rustier than the one that I found yesterday, got a stanley knife and a tootsie toy Jaguar.

The snow is starting to melt and a couple more days of the warm weather it ought to be great I did manage to conjure up a zinc, it's the first coin I've gotten in a while in the park/woods When I find a nice piece of hickory I'll make a handle for this one

It was plenty warm and everything but the snow was really hard getting around in cause it was really heavy right on the verge of melting and it just wore me out Here's another knife I managed to conjure up Here is a close up of the maker logo, the knife is also stamped Japan too. I'll...

The snow is deep since the bad storm we had come through but the temps were very tolerable. I ran in relic mode both days and it sure did seem nice to get out detecting. I went to a park/woods about a mile from here where I've hammered the woods section of the park for years. I was using my...

I've been doing this on and off, usually when the weather doesn't permit metal detecting or riding my motorcycle. I've got quite a few more that I've fixed up also and some that still need it.

Here's the biggest buffalo nickel I ever found rofl I found it last summer detecting around where they had torn out some sidewalks in town here, I also made many other great finds in that area too.

I got some mediocre finds but still it shows me that there's relics out there worth digging, this was in about a foot of snow and I was using my relic shovel, along with the D2 coil on my V3i. The railroad spike was way deep and was probably coated with 1/2 of rust. I figure since I put all the...

Met my brother at the same woods as yesterday, I managed to find me a possible entry to the toy contest, according to what I've researched on the net it's made in the 40's. It's not a Tootsietoy either it's a Manoil. January 28th 2011 back to the woods.wmv
