dogodog Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I started out the day on a high note by detecting an old farm that I found a Rosie and a merc on a previous outing. First good signals were some 22 casings. I then got into some 1970's pennies and hit a bunch of wheaties, The oldest was a 1919 pretty good I thought. Next up was a kids silver plate bracelet. Was hoping for better but it was not to be. After about 45 min. of trash I stumbled on an odd 1 3/4'' copper piece. This is very unique and I have no clue what it was. Last but not least was a 1943 p nickle, my first of this date. I thought it was an odd silver but seeing the delamination on the surface, my hopes were dashed.This nickel was at the 10'' mark. Now for the bad part !!!! On my way back home I decided to try and get permission for another old farmstead. This property is having a new house built on it and I figured why not. There were some drywall guy's there who did not speak english, so I decided to look at the old barn before I departed. The first sign you are in trouble is when a black cat tears ass out of the barn and almost hits you. I should have realized I was headed for problems. Anyhow I decided to leave, Jumped in my big truck, pulled foward and into a 3 foot ditch I failed to see. After stacking about a ton of stone under my passenger tire I got out. But It will cost me a new bumper $350, Brackets $52, and possibly a new fender $400 + paint. I'm not sure my finds will cover my stupidity!!! My wifes thoughts were, Glad it wasn't me. You would have bitched for days about my bad driving. Sometime's dumb catches up with all of us. Damn Black Cat !!!!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Wonder if that was a decorative cap to something. Might have had a back that is missing similar to a 2 piece button. Cool finds, did better today than I did. Only got some clad and mosquito bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compass Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Congrats on some nice finds! Yes, we all do dumb things once in a while and it drives me crazy to take 2 steps forward and 1 step back. My problem seems to be losing things that I have found.

That's worthy of the Western states and then some! There was a thread a few years ago, something like "show us your detecting vehicle." Yours would have scored high points in that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
