All metal overload, but...

[GioTheGreek]

At least I found a silver!

I spent a couple of hours on a beach today up the SJ River and the iron was all over the place. It sits across an island that used to have action hundreds of years ago. Unfortunately, I have no permission, nor a boat for that legendary spot.

I was hunting in all metal mode... and trying out some new techniques with my xterra. I started digging up all sorts of iron, in hopes of finding an old cannon ball, but most of the stuff was a bit more modern.

On a lighter note, if I hadn't dug up the junk, I probably wouldn't have found this 1949 quarter on my way back and a destroyed 1929 penny.

Here's a picture of the iron. There was plenty of old pottery and bottle pieces in the area, which keeps me hopeful that there are at least a few more goodies around.

I also found this strange little item. Crotal bell piece? I have no idea...

It has an S on the bottom...

Whilst detecting... Canadian innovation at its finest.

Le Cup Holder.

Happy hunting!

Keep digging that big iron...that's where the cannonballs and trade axes are!

Right on guys!

I almost found my first crotal.

I spent quite a few weeks each summer on one of those SJ river islands, possibly the one your speaking of. Now I wonder what I had been walking over - I went there about a month ago but left the detector in the car.
Silver is always good!

Any day you find silver is a good day
