Hello all...
In the last 8 weeks I've been out once for 2 hours... That hunt yielded a 1917 Canadian large... and a cracker jack token...
Yesterday I planned a hunt at a Colonial home I've hunted a dozen + times with a fellow club member...
I arrive a little before Dave and started swinging... 1st target was a mid 30's iffy signal @ 6-7... and I'd recovered dozen's of thiese at this site... so I was 98% sure it was a musket ball... and guess what... it was...
Next target @ a 10/12 conductive signal... Typical nickel range... 4-5 target... but I was plesantly suprised...

14k Gold with 6 small diamonds... and see the scratched in mumbers... I believe it to be a date ?? 50644 - May 6th, 1944 ??

I then started working close to the pond as some of the brush had thinned and le me work some spots I'd not hit before...
12/45 11/46 @ 5-6 yielded a Cap Liberty US Largie... It was flaking apart almost immediately :-(

It started to rain pretty hard and I ducked under a tree at a corner where 2 rock walls meet... hmmmm... flowers... was this an old garden ?? Swing... 8/35 @ 4...
Quick Indian....

I recovered a few more pieced of lead before the hunt ended...
