Another Day Another Campground, Relics And Coins

[F350Platinum]

Got permission to hunt a new campground, they tell me no one has ever asked. 😈 Talked to the Assistant GM and he got permission from the boss. Carte Blanche again!! 🥳

This place is huge, a lake, lots of playgrounds, volleyball, you name it. Over 1,000 campsites. I feel honored.

Spent 10 minutes around the lake and volleyball court, got coins. Relics came from a huge farm that they are about to convert to new campsites. I was there about 2 hours.

The small silver-ish jewelry fragment may be gold, I have to clean it up a bit more to see if it has a mark. It was a 5/6, and was about 8" deep. It has brown shiny jewels on it. The small ornate fragment looks to be copper, it was a 21 and says "KLD" on the back. What looks like an odd salt shaker top rounds out the relics. Other than that I found a lot of bullets and shotgun shell ends from the 1800s. Aluminum trash is non-existent in the farm. The lake is EMI city.

Oldest coin is a 1970 penny. Going in the lake tomorrow.

Thanks Joe, the first time I asked they said no. I went right to the top this time and explained what I could do for them. I was just asking about the lake and playgrounds but they threw the book at me with grace.

I come here about 4 or 5 times a year, right next door is a 1600s plantation. 

Baby steps... 🤐

That's a whole different nut to crack, but the campground DOES own it, so I hear. 😄 Has to be approached with finesse.

Got out for 4 hours this morning with my Hoover Boys shirt on. 😀 This might be a trend, @dogodog...

60 coins, about $4.90 or so. 

Trash was minimal, @Chase Goldman thanks for the tip on bottle caps. Really does the trick, but I dug 'em all anyway because I promised.

Hope this is silver. Can't go in the water, cut my foot and it hasn't healed. The lake is pretty nasty brackish water.

   I'm out of likes, again!! But good haul! Good call not exposing the foot injury, no need to risk getting a flesh eating bacteria! More common than people hear about!  Circulation in our hands, and especially our feet suffers more as we age, prolonging normal healing! Even scraps need watching!  ☠  👍👍
