So I met up with 3cybill last week and we went out exploring and detecting. It was 45 or 50 degrees out, but the ground was still frozen solid. We can across a crazy huge cellar hole that still had a huge stone wall standing. The wall was at least 20 feet high. Any ways bouncing around through out the day lead to these finds. The large plate is a new york state automobile association plate missing the center plate (center might have had town or county?). I think its from the 1920's from when I originally looked it up, but I can't find it online at the moment. also pulled the one indian head that was toasted. Thanks for checking it out. 20180111_090949_resized.jpg20180117_105726_resized.jpg20180117_105901_resized.jpg

Well done getting out and recoveries doing the ground chipping. Might be a spot to return in the spring.
 

A cool find on that automobile plate,and I also hope you would try this spot after thawing.
 

I too, chisel ice. Welcome to I guess what you'd call the hard headed diggers club.
 

Nice work battling the cold. I went scouting for a new seller whole once and found it while there was still a couple inches of snow and frozen ground got a really great signal managed to pry up the chunk of dirt and wound up taking the whole hunk of dirt home with me to thaw it out LOL turned out to be a copper washer I so thought it was going to be a coin
 

Nice relic hunt! :occasion14:
 

Thanks for sharing your hunt looks like a great place to hunt. I'm hoping I can finally do some chizzling myself this weekend.... Good job Tommy
 

congrats! your a hard core digger.
 

You gotta love it to be out there with those temps.:occasion14:
