Long Hard Weeks Worth.

[Kurios1]

Howdy Folks. Been hunting pretty much every day and got a few patent dated items and a bunch of other old stuff. I was skunked on coins until today. I headed for the woods and an old dump sight heavily littered with iron, beer cans, and various other metal trash. I knew it was an old dump and hoped for a few coins. I got the 1900 Indian just beneath the surface and the 1910 Wheatie was flush on the surface. Made my day as I have logged lots of hours searching for another old coin this week. I found the broken bottle tops in the trash and they look pretty old. Hopefully I can squeak out a few more keeper coins from this trash nightmare in the scrub brush.

Hope ya'll had a good week. May your weekend be even better! Kurios1

Not even fazed at my presence. Either they think they are invisible with their natural camouflage or just TOO focused on the "business" at hand.

First congrats on IHC and wheat! That big round relic in your 5th pic. is killer! That's a great wall hanger right there.

I always love the old coins. I also love way cool old iron thingies like this huge old wheel. I am thinking it may be a crank wheel for an old butter churn? It doesn't have the groove for a belt as on many treadle sewing machines. Also appears to have two holes where a handle may have been attached. The smaller iron ring looks like a burner plate for an old gas stove. Tells me there should be some more old coins laying around this scrap heap.

I like the old bottle necks the can lead to some treasure you know you got to drink before digging that hole to put the loot in

I try and get a "feel" for the potential of old coinage at sights based on other trash targets I run across. One of these old bottles may be the oldest thing I have recovered yet. Not sure as I am not an expert on identifying much of anything other than most US coins. This area was well traveled back in the day and along a river. I am certain many folks enjoyed drinking along the river bank and loosing their stuff. I could go for them stashing a cashe of coins or other booty. The ground is very "airy" or loamy so the heavier items are probably very DEEP! Hopefully not altogether out of range.

Congrats on the IHC....extra fine!! Well played on the old trashy area...well worth your effort..

Thanks Roamer67. It's very chilly today with a few folks reporting seeing a few flakes of snow! YIKES! I am considering getting bundled up and head down there again before this season comes to a close before I'd like it to.
