Went back to the Charlotte site I have been hunting for the last two weeks for a final visit. I have gone over this small area (2 acres +/-) as well as I can and think I have found most everything.
I found no old coins today, even though I went back over the areas I have already hunted again. I made sure I swung my coil over every possible spot where dirt was not added and even re-hunted some of the areas where my best finds came from.
I did find one gold (plated I believe) pocket watch body in one area I had hunted over twice before near where I found the 1929 SLQ. It was bouncing around 12-47/12-48 and just sounded too good and repeatable to pass by.
I also found an Excelsior "Boy Scout" shoe token (Type 1.2, http://www.sageventure.com/coins/misc.html) in an area near where I had found two of the Mercury dimes.
The last picture is everything I found today (not including two very old, first generation aluminum Budweiser cans) including what appears to be a copper lid with circle and starburst type pattern embossed in it and a lens from something.
I also took the homeless man I met on Friday an older, nearly new, Browning down coat that has been hanging in my closet for 20 years and is very warm so he will not be as cold tonight and he was very appreciative. He didn't want to go with the other folks to bum of tailgaters at the Panthers game, so I bought him a Wendy's double combo again for lunch so he would not have to be hungry.
Happy hunting!!
