I have covered most of the church ground with the CZ21 so I went back one last time to redo the grounds with my Excalibur 1000. I worked at a 90 degree angle to my original grid (sometimes coming from a different angle will give a better signal depending on the position of the target in the ground. I spent 5 hours and managed to cover the parts I had only skimmed over with the CZ and the best parts of the rest. I also went closer to the boundary line and over into the neighbor?s yard a little since she gave me the ok last time. Even going low and slow over the ground no one gets it all so the second time around you do get some goodies. There might still be some more left, but there won?t be much.
The coins were few, but there were 3 wheaties and a silver dime so overall a good hunt. I found 13 coins with a face value of $0.50, another brass lock that matches the other unnamed lock, a flower frog, the blue hood of a toy vehicle, a cuff link, a hem weight, a breast cancer pink ribbon pin, a heavy decorative pin, a few tabs and some small pieces of foil. The piece to the toy has eyes on the hood and is a match for the Tootsie Toy Baja runabout pictured here in red.
The wheaties are a 1912, 1926 and 1951. The merc dime is another 1936.
The cuff link is a rampant lion with a crown with the chain and bar in tact. (It?s nice to find a whole one for a change) The pin has glass stones and feels heavy. The back is in good shape except for the missing pin and the front has started to deteriorate. It was down under some root and from its condition and color my guess is that it is pewter.
So in 6 trips to the church using 2 different detectors I have found 12 silvers, at least one each trip and a. Ice bunch of interesting artifacts. So time at the church was well spent.
I went back to the new permission that gave up a lot of wheaties and no silver. I spent 4.5 hours swingin the CZ21 and found 20 coins with a face value of $1.89, a Manoil toy roadster from the late 30?s or early 40?s, a bent up butterfly pin, a coal mine chit, a Catholic medal, a compact, a lock plate, an IHP, a silver quarter, 2 wheaties, toasted nesting screwdrivers, and a big pile of foil, construction metal and can slaw.
The mine chit is a number 220 and I hit it with my trowel trying to get it out of some rocks, the Catholic medal is a Holy Name Society medal parented in 1909 and used at least into the 1940?s. The compact is a Princess Pat rouge container.
I got luck with the Indian head penny. The house was built in 1920 so a coin this old is a nice bonus. It is a decent looking 1889. The 1952 silver quarter was my first coin of the day so it got me off to a good start. It is the first silver quarter I have found In a while. The wheaties are 1926 and 1956D.
The neighbor came over to see what I was doing and said I could do his yard. He said I could do his basement as well because it still has a dirt floor. I?ve never done a basement floor before. It probably will be a bust, but you don?t know if you don?t try. I will be busy with family and vacation for the next few weeks, but he gave me his number and said to call him when I was able to get back and I gave him my card so he can contact me if needed. His house is the oldest on the block, built in 1880. So hopefully more Indians in the near future.
So a couple more good hunts. The clad pile is going up slowly, but the silver pile is climbing and that is a good thing. Plus another new permission that has promise. You never know what will come out of the ground and lately that has been a lot of interesting things. I just love this hobby. Thanks for looking, stay safe and may your coil lead you to good things.
