Hello AD,
I spent about five hours this week at a private site where I wrote to the owner to gain permission. I had high hopes as the property has been in the current owner's hands since before the advent of MDs and it was obvious from the owner's reply that no one had ever detected it before. Unfortunately the hole is on the road and was hit so hard that I had to put my 5in coil on just to eke out a 1/2in part of a harmonica reed. I've been to over 200 cellar holes and never seen one so pounded. Seriously, 5 hours = three shotgun shells and a harmonica piece. These people that detected were very good and very sneaky. Anyhoo, I said some cuss words I'm not proud of and moved on.
Yesterday and today I checked a place that, from the maps, didn't seem like it should pan out....but it did! The lesson? Stuff evens out in the end
The keepers-
1950 Silver dime
Dateless Matron
Bunch of late wheats (three in one hole)
Obligatory spoon
Button with a soft white pre-plastic center
Flower cuff button
Doily thingy
Tag "E B Smith Makers Pat. Sept 12, 1888 Canton Ohio" (cant find any info)
"Good for package of mints" token
Very cool bottle
Entire coffee pot (!) (on the surface)
A button from every epoch of American history :lol:
...and my largest find to date...it looks like a 1979 Datsun. Rang up like a Cadilac :lol:
Thanks!
