Got to hunt a historic home Saturday (no silver)

[BladeRunner2019]

Hello all.

Saturday I met up with wv1978 and we hunted this beautiful home for about 5 hours. It was built in the early 1800's and was pretty much right in the middle of a CW battle. The white spots on the chimney are where they patched damage from bullets/shrapnel. It's probably been detected hundreds of times, but it was still an honor to get to hunt it.

There aren't a lot of solid signals left, but we managed to pull a few keepers. My best find was a CW 3 ringer.

I also found my first railroad lead seal. I think it has S.R. on the other side.

This Pullman Porter button got me good. My eyes aren't great and I just knew I had found a block I cuff button. Still kind cool though.

This utensil was a bazinga as well. I believed it was silver until I got home and examined it closer and found it's just plated. Bummer.

The rest of the finds were a couple of flat buttons, possibly 2 friction primers and an old rim fire case.

Even though we didn't find a ton, it was still fun to get to detect a home like this.

GL & HH!

I agree! There’s a coin and/or a button somewhere.

Nice going! At least you didn't get skunked! Were you hunting near some RR tracks?

Still looks like a good hunt. I'd take that 3 ringer and Pullman button any day.

Yep. Tracks run right by the house.

I agree! There’s a coin and/or a button somewhere.

Agreed. There is about 3 acres, so I'm sure there are still some good things to be found.

You know if they missed 3 ringers they could have missed something else.
