Well OK maybe bite is not a good word. This is lengthy so..
Here's How it happened. I've been casing a place out for about a week. The place looked good on google earth and the plat maps put an old farm house on the property back in the mid 1800's. This place had huge trees ( some old oaks dated back 150 years). Now this was all gone. The trees had been cut, the houses (two 1900's which replaced the farmhouse) were torn down for a set of condo's. This gets me angry to say the least but thats another story!
I went down on New Years day and surveyed the property. Talking to one of the neighbors they said that the property was in the hands of a contractor who was not planning on doing anything til later in the month, so I decided what the heck, I'll give it a go. I was going thru the lots (about 2 acres) and ran into nothing but wood chips at least 4 inches thick throughout most of the property, eventually I landed on a nice grassy spot where I got a hit dug and out pops a quarter! run the MD over again and still registers quarter out pops another and then 3 pennies afterward. All clad.. hmmm I pulled a bunch of old nails from one spot they kept coming and coming all registering penny/dime.. getting discouraged I run up another small patch of grass, this time the VDI is reading silver. I dig and start to pull up what looks like china bits, only they aren't china but very thin porcelain. Md'ng again still silver. I put my hand in and OUCH!!! a huge gash on my ring finger blood coming out at a good rate, but what do I have?? but a silver spoon in my hand! I put my glove back on to tide off the blood cuz I saw a glimmer back in the hole.. out pops a piece of what looks like a blue china sugar bowl, but wait something else in the hole out pops a apothecary bottle which reads "full measure", under that another bottle with no markings, and another one thats smaller! Wow I'm jumping up and down! But as I look in the hole I see more and more and more bottles.. but my finger is now throbbing and there is blood everywhere! I have to get my finger attended to. I'll have to wait to excavate the rest!
