On Sunday Tim and I headed out. He said that we were going to Vermont to see his brother who lives in an old house and there are several cellar holes nearby and a big field across from him. :happydance01:
We drove all the way there. His brother puttered around getting ready. Finally we got going. We drove to an area that the road ended, but you could see that it use to continue, with HUGE old oaks lining the way. We got out and started walking down the road. I thought we were walking to a cellar hole....we got to the end, and he said ok, that's it, wanted to show you the route, we'll detect back. 8/ Back through the thorns we went swinging, hoping for something...some shell casing >:#
We drove back down the road a pace and pulled up next to a really old 1700's cemetery with field all around the outside it where a church once stood :drool: The neighbor comes out and begins talking with his brother....and talking....and talking...and talking >{
Then we head back up the road where the neighbor had told them where there WAS a cellar hole. Then it started to rain >:\. I was determined not to let it spoil the fun...so we kept on detecting. Some modern bullets, piles of horse crap (literally), and 2, 8 inch deep memorials >:/
We head off...drive into town (there's like 5 buildings, nothing over 1000sqft except the church) He parks the car and says he'll be back in a min that he has to talk with someone...and chases the chickens roaming the town, goes around the corner and is gone for like 30 min. He finally comes back and says we have permission. We then hit a cellar hole right on the edge of the road...trash of every sort. I'm still in the wooded area when I see him and Tim walking away and up a long drive...I go chasing after them.
It lead to this HUGE old home that apprantly use to me an old inn but is now a private residence with field abound. :drool: Tim said that we'd start in the upper field...not 2 min in he pulls out an 1770 KG.....ok we know its here a few minutes later I get a toasty KG, then a bit later another, then I head down the hill a bit, get a nice 12-46...open my plug..I see the large disc, gently brush away the dirt....and I see rings :shocked04:....a FUGIO <: :happy: :bananadance: <:...then a bit later I get a small flat button.
I moved down to the lower field where Tim had migrated to. I got an ox knob..I think it still has a bit of horn in it. Then the diggable signals were just not showing themselves. So I went back up to the upper field...got a 12-18 signal and dug a silver colored pendant with clear stones I'm not sure if it's silver or white gold or if they are CZ or the real thing...there are no markings, so I WILL be getting it checked out. Kept hoping for some old silver.....get a hit...dig down...silver toe ring...I was disgusted and delighted at the same time lol. Go back in and around the area I found the Fugio...and I start finding Large Cloak Buttons, then :shocked03:Flowing Hair...what a beaut :loveit:...slight coorsion right on the date >:# >{ >:{...I can make out 17_ _ and the last digit all I can make out is a upper circle so 8,9? so 1798 or 99. So 4 Coppers...one being a FUGIO and another being a nice Flowing Hair, 3 cloaks and one small, an ox knob, a pocket knife, and another item I need some help with...pictured at the bottom of the pic with the relics....it is engraved with triangles on the edges like a period button would be, it appears one part broke off...what is it?
Tim managed a total of 4 as well: 3 KG and one flowing hair 1800, several buttons. His brother.....we'll Tim took pity and gave him his 1770KG as a thank you.
