I have a client who is in a boundary line dispute with her neighbor, I went out to look at the property :shocked04: In the field you could see where there where many structures in the past. I began asking her about the history of her property. She told me it was a stop on the stagecoach line and that the house next door was an inn and her house was the innkeeper's house. Oh yeah :drool: So I asked her if I could come back and detect on her property, she said I was welcome anytime!!!
I asked George (coinnut) if he would like to join me for what I believed would be a GREAT hunt, but he had to work on Sunday crying01
We'll it wasn't the hunt I hoped for, but it was interesting. I have never dug so much trash in my life. I had to empty my trash 3 times. I did manage a few keepers.
In the first few minutes I scored a 1950 wheat, dug trash for HOURS, was about to give up for the day then hit on a 1943 Quarter, that reinvigorated me, but only found a few pre 82 pennies after that. What was killing me were these aluminum tops that are the size of a quarter, and when they would pop out of the ground, I'd get that great feeling until I would realize what they were. I found a few other interesting items. I found these Automobile Legal Association tags. The larger one sells on Ebay for about $20, from the 30's, too bad I hit it with my shovel digging. I also found what maybe a bracelet:huh::huh:thinkingabout: Appears to be copper. I also found this copper ball thing I have no clue, there is a hole through the middle and it is a bit jagged at one hole, looks like it snapped off something:huh:thinkingabout: I also found this old toy car...any of you old timers know the make and model? And I found this old tag, which I first thought was a cow tag, until I got it home and cleaned it up, then I could read Hotel Warwick Springfield, MA 14 I believe it is either a luggage tag or a key tag for the room key.
