Campground Hunt Pt. 3 - Silver?

[F350Platinum]

Today was the kind of day you hope for detecting. Breezy and in the 70s this morning, never got above 82.

There is a pond in the remote area of this park next to the farmhouse site. I wanted to hunt this area again with the Equinox and the 10x5 coil that I didn't have last year. This small spot produced a bunch of modern coins in the fire pit, one of them was melted somewhat, but it I think it's negotiable. This spot must have been a target area, there are hundreds of bullets here, all giving a a 15-17 or 19-21 ID. 😵 Had to restrict myself to 23 and above here.

Next I went to this spot east of the farmhouse, I found an Indian head or two and a large cent (smooth) here last year. I dug one IHP, a bunch of newer coins, and a very old medal in 3 pieces, all joined by rings that fell off - they were rust.

After finishing up that field I hit the tent campsites which are all empty. Hoped I'd find some jewelry and ended up with a sterling wave toe ring and a bunch of modern coins - they just kept popping. 🥳

Here's the loot, 29 coins, I thought the IHP was an 1867 but it may be a 1907.

Again I got at least 1 of everything, and a 1975 Canadian penny. Zincolns on the bottom. $3.00 in spendy change, the IHP goes on display. Also got a rose bush tag. I never knew they had serial numbers. 😀 The medal on the right is 3 pieces, the bottom piece is turned upside down to display "1667" I think. It had something on the other side as well, looks like maybe a cannon. Each piece has some sort of scene cast on both sides, but they have so much bronze disease it's going to take some work and maybe some chemicals. It was 10"+ down, and each piece was a 25 ID.

Here's the IHP:

Your guess is as good as mine. 😵

Last is the toe ring, it's really small. Matches other wave rings I've found. It doesn't have a hallmark, that's the reason for the question mark on the title but I'm pretty sure it's sterling.

I think the Equinox is king here, but I'll try the Deus again, I've extended my stay 3 more days. 🙂 I'm also going to give a third detector a go... 🤔

  That three piece medal is super interesting! Hope it cleans up enough to make out some details!

Great day, I'm jealous!🍀👍👍

Another nice hunt for you and I am glad that you used the NOX with the 10x5 coil just to show you that is is still better in the right hands.

Don't make her jealous and she will find everything for you.

Good luck on your next outing.

Great hunt, and that 3-piece medal is awesome! Very interesting find. Several wars beginning and ending in 1667. Interestingly it marked the end of the Russo-Polish War with Poland surrendering eastern Ukraine, including Kiev and Smolensk, to Russia. 😏
