Went out today for a short hunt it seems as Spring is turning into Summer here in Ohio as it got into the upper 80’s. Went to a field that is still open to us not fertilized or planted as of yet. Went to a different spot and while there were not a lot of signals at least I was getting some high tones. Dug a buckle, some spoon partifacts and three fired round balls, some assorted field finds as you can see.
My first coin find was a super toasty 1884 V-Nickel that was reading 12-10 on the CTX, bit low but not unusual for an older nickel, but a good consistent tone.
My next find was a flat button with gilt on the back. Back mark says “Warranted Superior, John Dean London. I have not been able to find out anything on this maker I found one source that said 1810-1830 on the button but they gave no citation for that dating.
My final good find was a 1919 Wheat which was along side a massive nail. I first got the nail and I knew that was not what was giving that small high tone and once I cleared it out I found the Wheatie. A good example, always believe the tone and not you’re “lying eyes”!

erfect10: the small "partifact" with the hole is an interesting piece !!
