Detected about 6 hours this weekend on three different fields. Friday I detected a new field that has just been plowed, it has been a feed field for years and I was surprised to see it plowed and I was not allowed to detect it until now. It produced nothing other than a few pieces of trash. Saturday I did a night hunt on another field, very muddy but made a few finds. Sunday was a miserable rainy cold day so I did a grass field for about 2 hours. I wasn?t going to go out but, thought about the freezing weather rapidly approaching and how snowbound I will be. The field pictured below is from Friday, a stork was hanging out and didn?t seem to mind me at all and yes, that is snow!
Here?s the finds. A nice little blue glass bead, have found maybe 10 this year, all blue and they range in age from 2000 years old to 300-400 years old.
A few relics, upper left to right is part of a heel plate, a whatsit, part of a buckle that looks like a T, a crusty button, a flattened aluminum container that I find many of, an aluminum thimble and two musket balls.
A 1925 Pfennig and the only coin find, a copper disk with a rivet hole, an aluminum seal, a large button with the word London on it and a small piece of brass with a hand made design on it.
A better view of the hand made design, initials HVC, I wonder what it was?
Obverse of a small locket I found Sunday, it was about 10? down.
Reverse of the locket, took the pics before I opened it as I thought I would break it or mutilate it somehow.
The locket opened much easier than I expected and I did not harm it. Inside is a little nasty, I thought it looked like roots and dirt but at a closer glance, it is the remnants of rotted wood with a very small pin. The pin is at the middle top.
The little pin, no gold coins, LOL! Thanks for looking and HH, Mike
