Went to my mother inlaws today and did a little searching. She lives in the old part of town and the house is early 1900s...typical millhouse. There is so much iron in the ground that while in all metal mode it sounds like you have a giegercounter at 3 Mile Is. I did manage to find some interesting stuff using the tone mode on my Pioneer.
My first ring.......but its a junk initialed one
Some Wheat cents...1920, 1941, 1942, 1944, and 1953....and an early Lincoln Mem.'59. A clad quarter and dime.....I thought the quarter was a '37 but got it home and washed off...turned out to be '87 Didnt turn up any silver.I know its got to be there since I found the Wheats...I just need to try harder or get something besides my Pioneer 101.
A tag with Remington 60 on it. Dont know if it was off of a gun or a shaver. Hammer from a cap gun. An old Taylor lock. A chunk of something I was hoping was a nugget....its heavy but I got it washed off and think it is lead.
A few items Im not sure about are the 2 bowl shaped objects in the top left of pic. 1 has a hole in it but the other is stepped/layered.? And the thing in the bottom right.....has Proctor Never Lift on it. Maybe part of a shaver too?
I cant wait to go back, possibly with a better detector. Its a rent house she lives in and after she moves out next year the house is going to be demolished and a parking lot put in its place.
