Okara, yep. gonna take me a looooong time to search this place. I am not certain why this spot has been so good, but going to crush this front field all i can before its next planting in spring. Here is a picture of the property. The black line is about 30 of the 40 acres. the small orange circle is where i got the SLQ in front of the barn, and the larger orange is where all the rest of this stuff has come from.

awesome finds...nice old silver !

SchoolofhardNox, can you explain more the "Woods" part of your description? THanks

Doc, you are so right !

Got out again yesterday morning. Was 22 when I started, but cleared 32 when I finished up, so I've dug in worse. Got a bunch more of those hexagon tokens, and 5 more coins. 2 I believe are 1/2 pennies again, but dug 3 smaller coins that I couldn't identify until I got home. Definitely never dug one of these before. Only one has enough metal left to really ID. Looks like Irish half penny to me, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Of course the most dmg is right at the date...

F350, I will try to find some markings. I hadnt seen any at first glance, though. really look like them, though. thank you for the possible match

I got onto a new permission a couple times over the last 3 weeks. It is an early 1700s farm, with 40 acres of fields and woods. I have basically just been kind of surveying the various areas, but starting tomorrow I will be hitting one field area thoroughly for a couple hours. So far, the best find has been a 1917 type 1 standing liberty quarter. Also an old brass ring with the 18k marking inside. Can anyone identify the hexagon shaped items? They ring up as nickels on the Nox, and leech the same in clay soil. For that matter, any ideas on any of the round brass items or the wheel lookin thing? The coins shown are not wanting to give up dates. One I think is a george II half penny. The other is half a gram lighter and slightly smaller. Happy hunting!.

That was really helpful. Do you by any chance have a picture of the buckle prior to the work you did on it?

pretty awesome condition for a shoe buckle. nice save!

Rick, my thoughts exactly, once I realized it was a U.S. coin.

I snuck out for an hour between thunder storms to the old hotel site I have posted finds from a couple times....did not disappoint. I can say I have never dug a quarter cent before, but here is my first cut half cent, 1835. Right next to the old pump well, like 6 inches from the platform and only a couple inches down. Most of the old coins have been 8 to 10 inches deep. Probably the dirt there has been dug up a couple times in the past years for maintenance, etc.

Jeff, My guess is a powder measurer for filling cartridges

i know I am probably too late as it sounds like you have already purchased, BUT if you havent yet.... I really really really recommend the Fisher F-Pulse pinpointer. I have had the black Garrett and the carrott. both worked well for me, but in mineralized soil, the Fpulse is way better because it can be tuned to the soil. It solves the situation when the carrot starts chirping/buzzing as soon as it is near the ground, and you have to try to discern what is a target and what is the ground. fpulse, you just hit the button once more quick while touching the ground, and it now ignores the ground and you can much more easily find your target. just like the carrot, you can turn sound off and use vibrate.

Robert, That is almost too many nice finds at once...might get you deleted 🙂 j/k awesome bit of digging, there.
