Last Weeks finds at the Demo House

[Ill Digger]

To keep up on the hunts at the demo house:

Monday 15th:
Almost didn't find a silver Monday. On my way back to the truck, in the pitch black darkness, in a area I've went over plenty of times, 3 inches deep, I get a 12-46! :shocked04:
A 1945 Merc keeps the streak alive! :yahoo:

Saturday 20th:
The same guy who got me permission for the demo house also secured me a old abandoned farm house. So Ted and I went and checked it out. Probably built in the mid to late 1800's. A real drooler!:drool: A little over grown , but the place you dream of hunting! :daydream: But a total let down!:crying02: Not one old coin between the two of us! I did find a cool old button. At least I hope it's old. But from what I've seen on-line.... it might be a re-pop.
It appears to be a New York Militia staff button. :dontknow: Any help confirming or denying this ID is greatly appreciated :yes:. (Trying to load some more pictures but PB won't take them right now for some reason. Post them when I can)

After a hour plus there we went to the demo house. We each nabbed a silver. Ted got a Merc. I got another silver Washington! :shocked04: Buried with 2 wheaties. Also found a IH.

Great finds ,Tim. The Demo house may be slowing down, but your still finding Silver.
Thats all that matters. Good luck on your return hunts there.

[Tony Two-Cent]

The demo house is still giving up the goods! That place has been a really sweet site for you!

Have you been digging the nickel signals? There might be a gold ring there, you never know.

Congrats on the finds! :clapping:

WTG on keeping the silver streak going. Looks like the doughboy and a mortar had a meeting. As Tony suggested start digging the nickel signals.

Congrats on the finds! :clapping:Thanks Tony! It has been a really good site! As a matter of fact I have been digging the nickle signals. I'm hoping there's a gold coin laying around there for me to find! :crossfingers:
