July 4th water hunt. Old brass pistol frame, 2 key hole escutcheons, 2 forks , 2 jars.

Usually by the time I get to this creek section I'm beat and detector low battery. Today I skipped the areas that mainly produce scrap copper (nothing wrong with scrap) and went to a section by an old house that's produced a few lead toys, old car radiator badge and other odds and ends. Ended up finding a dump spot in dirt wall and pulled the Vaseline jar and one fork. Unfortunately it was run through by a backhoe putting in Stromwater piping. Lot of smashed stuff. Other fork is worn thin. Fancy escutcheon was wedged in a between cracks of a rock formation.

The brass pistol frame looks like a Whitney 32 rimfire but I really don't know guns. Definitely a first for me.

Love the pistol frame!

Thank you. I was waiting for something the era of the houses around it show up. It really didn't sound great at first because it was under a piece of rebar. It is the kinda place nothing sounds good. You use your pin pointer and pull out iron wire ect before finding target. Last year I pulled a circa 1914 lead toy boat and an old pontiac radiator badge in the same hole and a bunch of barbed wire. Mostly heard the lead.
