5/12/05 old church Finds UPDATE!

[lonewolfe]

Okay,

I went back to the old church about 5:30 and hunted until 8:15ish by both sets of steps this time, and in a 150' x 150' area where they have removed approx. 6 inches of sod/soil (shown front & left to around the back & left). I'm only 1/2 done with the torn out sod area because I couldn't walk 2 ft w/o getting a signal, and stopping to dig!

I found 2 of the mercury dimes in the area where I found the 1st coins (shield nickel and seated dime) and I found the st. liberty, 3 wheats, 1 indian and the V nickel where the 2nd set of steps were. All the other coins & items were found in the torn up sod area!

This is by far the best place I've hunted this season, and I'll be back out there tomorrow!

All coins, etc. were still 4 to 6 inches deep even though they have removed about 6 inches of top soil.

I also found some clad (not shown) and some other items of junk also not shown.

well,

I'd take a little cold over this POURING rain we're getting,

I can't get out to the church today as planned because it's raining cats & dogs out there

I'm hoping it lets up for a while later so I can get at least an hr or 2 in today.

It's suppose to rain through the weekend now according to the forecast.

That's MI for you,

if you don't like the weather,

wait 5 min and it'll change!

Will update later today if I can get out for a while!

[poptopking]

Enjoyed looking at the excelent finds. I noticed the item marked "reed". I have found several of these in civil war camps and have no idea what they are. Does anyone on this board know what they are? or, what they were used for?

well lonewolf even if you couldnt make it out to the church today cause of the rain,neither could the workmen. so at least you didnt lose a day of oppertunity! besides the ground will be wet and easier to dig tommorrow,probably will work in your favor!cant wait to see what else you come up with!

 

[stoney56]

Lone, that's some really nice finds. Congrats! Maybe the rain will actually help bring out more good signals. Best of luck and keep 'em coming.

 

[clump63]

Awesome dude!! Good luck tommorrow for sure. Keep us posted.
