Some major projects around the house have really limited my detecting time last few months. But I was determined to get out this morning for a few hours. Plan was to poke around a site I've hit in the past but as I was hiking in I decided to swing north on a hunch. Found a cellar hole but it was late 1800's vintage and because it was right on an old dirt road it was full of 1900's trash.

I was able to sniff out some relics and just had fun detecting. Didn't have time to break out the small coil but I suspect I can pull some silver from that trashy site.

Found a well worn terret, another one of those brass scythe handle things, nice little brass padlock, makeup compact, and a mystery cone shaped piece with that bracket on the side. Whatever it is it went over a wooden spindal like a cart arm end piece or similar.

The shoe buckle chape I found at site I have cut through a dozen times at least on my way to other sites. There was a house built on a slab there as late as the 1960's. There are a few delapitated out buildings still standing. Never detected there as I figured it would be all modern junk. Spent 10 minutes swinging the coil there on my hike out and found that chape and a pewter whatsit. I will need to revisit that site.
Stay safe!
