It Ain't All Treasure...

Didn't want you all to think my DFX was collecting dust ;D

I don't usually post unless I've got a nice coin or relic but I've been following in some very good detectorist's footsteps lately so here's a few leftovers.
I got my permit to detect at Beaver Creek State Park in eastern Ohio and watched as the girl at the park office added a copy of mine to a STACK of previous detectorists!!
I knew after hitting the first cellarhole that it was worked over pretty hard.
I found the eagle button two weeks ago and the "what is it" experts Crusader and PBK id'd it for me as an 1810-20 militia button so it is probably the best of the lot.

The 1924 Merc i managed to scrounge out of a trash ravine at one of the cellarholes...i was chuckling to myself "they didn't get it all!!!"
Today i hiked 3/4 of a mile back to an old lock that operated til the mid 1800's. I found some clad coins and an intact Larkin Co. jar just before a major downpour soaked me to the bone.

There was a civil war reenactment going on in the park today so i listened to the sound of cannons and mussle loaders going off all afternoon while i was hiking and swinging.

Your whatsit reminds me of some bridal rosettes I have seen here before but not sure. Glad to know you are still at it, good luck on your next hunts.
 

Re: It Ain't All Treasure...

Great area to MD. Very clear nice photos. I had sent another TN member a PM about two weeks ago regarding canals. These areas are loaded with treasures. Keep up the hunting and the subsequent posting.

Re: It Ain't All Treasure...

Jerry,
Nice finds! I used to live in that area, but never even inquired about metal detecting it. I figured it would be all off limits as a historic landmark.

One of these days we are going to have to get together! Keep in touch.

Re: It Ain't All Treasure...

Nice finds Jerry. Don't you just love finding those zinc canning jar lids :-\ See you have a lot of shotgun shell bottoms too.
 

Re: It Ain't All Treasure...

Some cool looking finds. Glay to see you was able to pull out a merc.....Matt
 

Re: It Ain't All Treasure...

Nice Job on the Finds. :icon_thumright: HH
 

Re: It Ain't All Treasure...

Worthy finds there and I really like the intact jar. You don't get them in that shape very often. I'll guess about 1930 to 1950 on the jar.

"I listened to the sound of cannons and mussle loaders going off"
I could use those loaders whenever I move.....

Good Luck!

This is a triumph of the paid permit system!

Nice hunting grounds- even if you do have some competition. The scenery is great.
Thanks Plebah,it's beautiful park and fortunately "so far" the permits to detect are free :icon_thumleft:

Thanks for the idea NGE!!! there are always kids "creek stomping" up by the old bridge,i always loved creek stomping when i was a younger kid,it'd probably be a blast with my DFX in hand.
 

Re: It Ain't All Treasure...

The majority of the sites I hunt have already been hunted as well...only in the 60's-70's time frame. Luckily, sometimes they've left me a tidbit or two to bring home. :D You gotta smile when ya find the good stuff everyone else has left behind. :thumbsup:
