Back To The Farmhouse With Guest

[F350Platinum]

Went back to the farmhouse today, Chase wanted some detector time so I invited him down. It was a cold morning, 50s and windy but good for the hard work ahead. Chase got there shortly after I did, my first find was a 1990 nickel, and it really didn't get much better. I had to dump my trash bag 4 times, lots of plumbing parts, matchbox car parts again, molten metal and just about everything that gives a false good VDI and tone. Bullet shells, you name it. 😀 The place is getting sort of lean.

Here's what I got, some of it is interesting:

The usual clad and memorials, nothing older than 1972. Remains of some kind of brooch with rhinestones, it was pretty mangled but still had 3 stones. A 3 ring bullet flattened, some sort of knob that has a coin edge.

The most interesting finds aside from the bullet were the aluminum penny token which is about the size of a quarter, and the small brass "E. Faber" fountain pen tip case which contains a small pencil. The token is corroded and broken so that the date doesn't show, just the bottom of the memorial and "One Cent" on the back. 

It was a fun day, always good to have Chase along. He found some stuff too.

Nice hunt again and glad that you are pulling history out of the ground.

Good luck and happy hunting.

Thanks. It was a bit of a disappointment, only one silver coin found here so far. Tons of clad, almost 100 coins here. There is so much junk in the ground you really have a challenge. In a way we are cleaning it up for future visits, but nothing jumps out at you as much as the debris does.

Rather have to sort through trash and debris than have total silence..... At least it seems hopeful there might be something there.

Looks like really nice grounds.
