A Long Walk in the Woods

[Wildcat1750]

Took a long walk in the woods again with my Ace 250 while this winter warm spell continues and got more exercise than finds. Most of my finds were evidence of past deer hunts - shot shell heads ranging from 20 to 10 gage, numerous shell casings, and an arrow.

I scored 2 more ox shoe halves to make a total of 3 from this property. One of the shoes was a few feet from where I had dug a 1700s knee buckle recently. Both of these were fairly close to the edge of the same creek but in different areas. My best finds of the day were a nice pair of pruning shears and an antler shed by a buck! – Oh, and the wreckage of a battery operated radio control aircraft which came to rest at the base of a tree.

No silver today, just a clad quarter and a couple of Zincolns.

Thanks for Looking.
Nick

Let me tell ya Wildcat1750. I have spent hours over the last several decades searching for drops and never found any. 99% of the sheds I find are while detecting in the woods. These include a full 9 and 10 point still attached to the skull. Great find on the shed.

Not sure really sure, pa-dirt_nc-sand. It was on the surface and I didn't think to scan it.

Thanks! I guess when we are detecting we are more focused on the ground plane, pa plateau hiker. Like you I was fortunate enough to find a 7 pointer still attached to the scull. The rest of the skeleton was about 30 feet away. This was about 5 years ago while metal detecting.

Nice diversity in your finds, adds to making the walk interesting! Congrats! Bet you never thought you would find a plate, even if it was just a scale one!

Thanks, against the wind! It was great to get out there after the snow melted.

Thanks, dsdigger! It's not every day you discover a plane crash in the woods.
