DaddyDigger (Dave) spent the weekend here in my hometown and we detected many sites in this area.
Yesterday we hit several old parks and I found a 1907 Indian Head, a really nice 1923 Mercury Dime and a 1957 Rosie.
Today we hunted a couple more parks, but we had our best success in the yard of an old house that was across the street from one of the parks. Nobody was living in the house, but the owner lived next door and gave us permission to hunt it. In this yard I found a few wheat cents, a 1934 Buffalo Nickel, and 2 Barber Dimes. About 8 inches from one of the Barber Dimes I found an 1844 Canada Half Penny Bank Token. That was a first for me. I also found a ring that had my hopes up at first, but it is just plated. Dave found some goodies as well.
Here are the finds from this weekend:
Here are the keepers:
I know I have seen these on the forum before, I think you guys up in the northeast find them occasionally.
This ring rang up high on the E-Trac so at first I thought it might be gold plating over silver, but I think it's just plated over copper.
Some of the relics. I think the dog tag is from 1954. The old pocket watch was almost a foot deep.
Lots of junk, as always:
Thanks to Dave for being a great detecting partner and for buying pizza last night!
Thank for looking and happy hunting! :beerbuddy:
