CTX Weekend Day 2 Finds: Gold, IH's, and tokens
This is Sunday's hunt 6-17-12
This is a totally new yard and the CTX was hot right out of the gate.
While detecting the home from the day before I noticed a smaller home and yard at the opposite end of the street. It appeared to be 1920's so I gained permission and got ready.
Now this has never happened in 28 years of detecting, but I got out of the car turned on the machine, ground balanced noise canceled and swing 3 swings along the sidewalk. 10-24 solid showed at 6 inches, dug down and at around 7, what I saw about made me drop my machine!!!
1890's-1920's J.R. Wood's & Son's 18kt Gold ring
I was pretty pumped about finding a ring and continued down the sidewalk.. nothing else.. So I moved up into the yard, thinking this may not be a good yard.. I started hearing and seeing very shallow clad along the walk way, so I moved out into the yard and immediately dug a 1905 Indian Head... After that I cut the yard in half and started griding...Next target was a second Indian Head, a 1902.
1902 and 1905 Indian Head Cent
This yard is tiny and is about 15 yards wide by 10 yards long.. So it didn't take me long. Several wheat's came from all over.
7 Wheats Oldest 1909, no S....
My next find was out of the ordinary. It has to be one of the more intriguing coins I have ever found due to it's horrible past.
1940 10 Reichspfenning from the time of Hitler and German Third Reich
1940 10 Reichspfenning With Swastika on reverse.
For the second day in a row I find an Apothecary weight. This one is larger than the one from the day before. This one is about the size of a nickel and is a 3ii, and says two drachms.
Apothecary Weight. Two Drachms 3ii.
The best find of the day in my opinion was this very well preserved Good for Token.

Now this was in a new yard and as far as I know hasn't been hunted, But with the absence of silver makes me think someone had hunted it before...I'm glad they left some for me..lol
Hope you enjoy
