I couldn't take it anymore!
I haven't been detecting much at all this summer with the heat we've had here in NC, but today started out in the low 70's so I had to get out. It warmed up into the low 90's and I must say with the sun beating down on me I am now officially a Redneck.
Long story short, a lady saw one of my relic shadowboxes at her sisters house and gave me permission to detect her property.
They weren't sure of the actual date it was built, but they said it has "1896" on one of the chimneys. This place has the old separate kitchen, smokehouse, and many other outbuildings.
As you can see, there was plenty of iron to be cleaned up. This bucket (about 60 lbs) is full of plow tips, horseshoes, horse tack, axe heads, etc.
My finds weren't too fantastic yet, but I was able to manage one coin into the late 1800's.
Today's take:
*1897 IH
*Wheats - 1912, 1925, 1937
*1944 war nickel
*Toe tap
*"Woodman of the World" aluminum token. It says "Coin test" on the back.
*14k gold filled ring
*Asst's other pcs.
Thanks for looking,
MM
