I tried to follow up on the one I was told to come back during 'Spring' to give the owner some time to decide. My luck tho that every time I drive by coming home from work there happens to be someone home, yet the times I try to go ask there happens to be no one home. ugh. I headed to the store to grab stuff while I was out because the other permission was in the opposite direction from my house.
When I showed up it was fairly perfect timing. He had just finished mowing his lawn and was letting his son drive the tractor back into the barn. When I started out I didn't hear anything. There wasn't much iron or trash. It took a little time for finding a good repeatable signal. The first one was some piece of completely smooth oval slag. The second thing I dug was out front near the smaller tree. My second buff. Unfortunately it looks like there is no date. I did see the first "19" but trying to scrape a little with my thumbnail it looks like the flaking took it off. Oh well. The back looks good tho. Somewhere out front I got a nice signal. I was certain it was silver....well.... it was solid brass. My first ox knob. It is deteriorated a bit so it is fairly old. It was an olive shape and my first thought was ox knob but I wasn't certain until I searched for it. Again somewhere out front toward the side I got another great signal. Turned out to be a copper pipe fitting, but a third great signal was a second ox knob. This one had the hex shape to it. I thought it was a pipe fitting, but it was in the search results for an ox knob so that time I knew I had #2.
Somewhere near the driveway I was getting a nice silver signal. A '46 Rosie. Yay some silver. I did pull up some clad in the yard but up near the marker stone (which was actually concrete) I got a penny... ugh..'59. Not even a wheat. There was a really large tree along the property line. Somewhere near there I got some strange item. It looked to have an offset design and reminded me of the back of a coin. After cleaning it tho, it looks like most of the design is gone. Looking near the cavity formation it looks like three letters engraved. Maybe it could be one of those wax seal stamps. After coming around the house I pulled up a nice button. Kind of a flat button but it's closer in size to a tombac. The wreath design on the back is in real great shape. Too bad when i decided to leave, the husband and wife had left the grandmother home. I told the wife I would show her what I found. As well I wanted to ask when crops would be ready to harvest. The main reason to support their 'business' in return for letting me detect there, but as well to know when the fields might be ready for me. Next time I return i can bring the items. Now for the pics. None are cropped or have contrast fixed because of which computer I am using. Maybe tomorrow after the rain I will hit another permission site.
