So we were going to cross over to the woods but was playing around in a small clearing before crossing the creek. Within 20 min. I had the walker and 35 quarter. Honey wasn't taking it well! Then the Wheatie. Soon after my machine and backup battery both were dead. Jinxed myself! Lucky we brought a back up.
Not much in the woods but the Indian head. It was on the surface under the leaves. How it stayed on the surface with a hundred plus years of leaves falling on it seems impossible.
On the way back to the truck, Bob found the other quarter and war nickel in the same hole in the same clearing we started in.
Might give that little clearing strip another run!

love that silver, especially the walker, wtg
 

Beautiful recoveries
Congratulations
 

Congrats on the big beautiful silver! Also the others as well.
That's a hood ornament off a Mercury (ford) late 70's early 80's

For the IH being on the surface as that I have found a LC once in a park the same way.
Steep ravine bank, brushed the leaves away and it was right on the surface.
I still remember that recovery the best, from over the hundreds of LCs recovered.
 

Willing to trade your park for one of mine....
 

Nice silver and Indian! That Mercury Cougar hood ornament has seen better days though! :laughing7:

I wish mine would have been an LC! Congrats!

Well if had found a 1906 Canadian Penny it would of been a LC.
I just enlarged the photo to read the IH date.
I think it was hit with a bullet at one time.
Just clipped the edge.

My husband thought the same thing about it being shot! You could get lead poisoning from that park, we've found so many bullets! From Civil War Era to modern.

I have always thought if a vegetable was to grow around a hunk of lead-would the leaching of lead effect the vegetable?
I sometimes state that to a permission the I remove the lead from the field/gardens.
