Empty Construction Lots Hunt.

[Kurios1]

Howdy Folks. Hit the lot where I scored the 1859 Fatty again today. I drank a liter of H2O as it was warm. Got the junk earring. I am KING of junk jewelry! I got the 1920 wheat, 1962 D Rosie, and 1897 Indian. Headed toward the road so the passersby could see what a REAL treasure hunter looks like. I eyeballed the big clay marble right on top big as life. Looks like it has some painting on it that's warn about off. Got a bunch of clad along the way. Got a bent compact lid, a brass clip doohickey, and various other weird stuff. Headed over to try my first run at another empty lot owned by the same person. Found my third 1951 D wheat in as many hunts. I also scored the crusty 1902 Indian there as well. Had a ball working real slow in the heat with my Makro Racer 2 & Nel Snake coil. Done very well for me today. Thanks for stopping by. Kurios1



I nearly forgot. I notched a first off my bucket list today! The brass toilet bolt has always been on my radar and I got me one today! WOO HOO!

I forgot to ask you how would you rate the makro 2 to the AT PRO for coins?

Sorry but, I can't. I so love my Racer 2 that the AT Pro doesn't get any exercise. I have only used it maybe an hour for land hunting. I just reserve it for dips in the water. It might be equally capable of finding all these things I am digging but, I enjoy the Makro Racer's ease of use and simplicity too much to put it down. Plus it has more depth and sensitivity I believe to tiny targets. Not a knock against the AT Pro by any means. I see tons of great finds dug with that machine so to each their own I reckon.

Love the in-situ pix.

Thank you. I am getting to know my Olympus TG 4 a little better as I use it more. I am reserving taking shots of these sights I am currently hunting as there are rogue pirates lurking about that would follow my posts and sneak in and plunder MY BOOTY!

Thanks Tommy. I am convinced if I ever get over my fear of rejection I'd be having hunts like this pretty consistently. I just have to start asking for more permissions to old property. Pretty simple to score better finds on virgin old dirt. I think I have to break out of my shell and return to the maniac I used to be when I first started hunting in 2008. I'd go all day and night and wasn't afraid to do sidewalk strips in front of beautiful old mansions. LOL! I guess taking your advice I just need to go a bit more CRAZY!!!

That clothing item is like the two I found in a 1912 logging camp...I think they came from men's dress pants. (Waist band clasp). With a marking like "Fine Tailoring" I don't think they were from work clothes. Cold find

 

[highnam]

I meant cool find...here are the two I found from 1912

Thanks for that tidbit of information. I was clueless as to what it was and this saves me from having to research it.

Heck of a good hunt, Indians and silver are the icing on the cake!

The cake must be the Gold Coin. Well, there has to be one around here somewhere?!?

Excellent hunt, who doesn't have a brass toilet bolt on their bucket list?

 

[trapperart]

Congrats on some nice finds

 

[RVRoamer74]

What do you do? In-situ pix. Of a silver dime!

I'm not saying this is crap-but, but I'd be showing this was a dug find-being what it is. You know to get an in-situ photo of a first, and highly sot after bucket lister (for many I'm sure) I would of taken maybe a video even or at least a few angle micro shots of it in the dirt.
I'm just saying...nicely done

 

[Trezurehunter]

Nice finds Kurious. I like that large clay marble. Those are always fun to find.

 

[dirtlooter]

congrats on the great finds, pretty cool and interesting finds which I love. You gotta just bite that bullet and ask permission more, like I told myself, they will probably say no but what if they say yes? I was just staring at the pile of wheaties, big silvers and small silvers, buffs and cool relics that I have found so far because of finally deciding to ask. Besides, if you don't someone else will.

Hey there pepperj. I think my comment about the brass toilet bolt may have confused you. It was intended as purely sarcasm. While I do love my first brass toilet bolt it was not one of those items I would consider on my bucket list. I do enjoy playing with my camera while hunting if the finds are significant enough to merit taking pictures. I also believe pictures help the new metal detectorists out with giving them ideas of where and how to hunt specific sights. Sorry if I confused you mate. If you you've been following me any length of time you need to know when I am being serious versus when I am being a clown. I can do both rather well.

You did good in the heat. Keep cool. Good hunting and good luck.
