Weekend Finds

[NCtoad]

I feel like I’m in rut as far as detecting goes.  I don’t have any permissions and all of my public sites have been hit hard by me.  Yesterday I decided to hit an old ballfield from the 1940s that I’ve been to twice before.  Once I got there I quickly remembered why I’ve only detected it twice before.  The dirt has been moved around and probably more dirt added as the edge of the outfield is higher than the adjacent field. But even if fill is brought in and moved around there’s still the chance of a coin not getting buried too deeply.  Right behind second base is where I got the 1954 rosie.  I also got two or three wheats and the two foreign coins.  One is 1977 and I can’t get a date off the larger one.  As I made my way back to the car I got the old makeup compact in the adjacent field. Once I found that, I randomly detected that field and not finding anything else old, I quit for the day.  

Yesterday I hit a large park that’s not old although I did find a silver rosie the last time I was there.  Today I was in jewelry mode and had the D2 in Sensitive Full Tones.  I left it stock other than turning the silencer down to 2 and sensitivity up to 95.  I varied the reactivity from 1.5-3.  First thing was the compass pendant.  It’s stainless and rang up a solid 57.  Next was the earring and I don’t remember what TID it came in at, but in the bright sun it looked like gold.  Once I got home and cleaned it up it’s marked YGF 925 CHINA.  I’m guessing ygf stands for yellow gold filled.  I then got the silver clasp and try as I might I couldn’t find the chain.  I even used gold mode on the D2 and dug everything in about a 20’ radius from where I dug the clasp.  
 

So that rosie puts me at 3 for the year.   Unless I happen upon a good permission, I don’t see me getting more than 10-12 silvers this year, but you never know.  Lol

A good hunt. There is more there. Can you hunt on state land? You could look for cellar holes to hunt. In the spring where ever you see lilac bushes something was probably there.

Thanks Rick!  There are state gamelands I’m pretty sure I could detect on.  It’s just finding those old homesites if there even are any in my area.  I’ve pored over old topos trying to find something.

Congrats on the Rosie and silver jewelry! I think the 1 & 2 pennies are Canadian. It looks like you got an older button too and that compact is very cool! Well done!

Good on the Rosie and the compass pedant is still a cool find. For places to hunt, you might check your surrounding towns for golf courses being renovated. I am hunting on my 3rd one in the last four years and all have been good for silver coinage and good jewelry. Anyway, good luck on finding new spots. HH jim tn
