Hello all!
This recover target represent two dates...
Friday March 25, 2011... I got out for about 90 minutes after a long week at work :-)
This Trolley token was 4-5" and rang up as 12/34 12/35 on my Etrac... I was hoping for an Indian... but a neat old token was a welcome suprise :-)
This Barber rang in nice and clear in the 6-7" range... Yeah I clipped it :-(
This pencil sharpner was the last target as the light was fading fast... It was a 12/25 @ 8"... It is stamped Made in Germany and the sharpner blade was with it..
Saturday March 26th... I spend about 5 1/2 hours at a new foundation...
The hunt started with a signal 15 minutes in... 12/24 12/25 @ 2-3"...
I was not thinking coin at all... but a fatty popped right out... and I could see the back and the wreath... and NO shield so I knew it had to be an 1859 IH...
15 minutes later I got a 12/11 signal at the base of a tree @ 6"... I was hoping for an early nickel :-)
What period is this Button?
Then it was a quite few hours... shotgun shells... and trash...
Then I moved into the barn foundation area... there were lots of surface junk... old large cables, iron that was rusting, etc... but as I moved towards the middle on the right I got a 12/24 @ 2-3"...
Hello Mr. 1858 Flying Eagle... My first !! :-) but as you can see... the detail is in the build up on the coin.... much like that Indian... They both are pretty much toast :-(
60 minutes later I was seeking one more good target and was working between the barn and house foundation... This was a crazy signal like a large piece of big iron/metal near the surface... I almost did not dig it... but I'm glad I did :-)
Is this a wax seal ??
Happy Hunting all!
