Mama "V" forked over a bracelet + more

Well TN folks, I haven't been finding too much this week, but I'm working on a few new spots.
This is what I've found this week at the plantation house during three of my lunch breaks. It actually snowed today a bit and I LOVED IT! :thumbsup:
I've been detecting lately with less discrimination (set on "foil") and finding things in the plantation yard that I and others have passed right over before. An example is this 1898 "V" nickel I found in a spot next to the house that I personally have been over about 20 times. Same story with this old bracelet. I've been over that spot so many times before, but today I got an iffy signal and dug this beauty. Maybe the wet soil & cold weather helped too. :icon_scratch:
Last week you may recall in my posts that I had found 1902 & 1905 "V" nickels and was hoping to find on into the 1800's. Well today was finally that day. Not in great shape but still a nice readable date. :thumbsup:
Here are my finds:
*1898 "V" nickel
*1909 Wheat (no "S" or VDB") :-\
*1941 Jeff. nickel
*Old bracelet with black stones (onyx?)- Complete bracelet w/all stones in place. :thumbsup:
*Two lantern pieces. One has a thumbwheel dated 1899.
*Silver plated fork, harmonica reeds, railroad sign reflector, brass buckle, lead shot.

Thanks for looking folks.
Stay warm, :icon_sunny:
MM

Re: Mama "V" forked over a bracelet + more

MM that is a very nice bracelet.. I too am not sure if its glass or gemstones ( onyx most likely) search on ebay for scarab bracelets. folks put the all smooth black on in the scarab catagory as well..betcha see one just like yours..any markings on the clasp?
 

Re: Mama "V" forked over a bracelet + more

Way to go, Doug!! :thumbsup:

Isn't it amazing what you are able to find with a little less discrimination? There's certainly treasures to be found in the low conductor area. It just takes a little more patience and determination while you're digging a lot more trash. ;D

Congrats on your 1800's V and your cool looking bracelet!

Great amount of finds! New spots are harder and harder to come by now! :( Well all we go to do is research research! :) I have to wait until the parks replenish with stuff. Usually takes around 2 weeks :-\

Anyways happy hunting! Glad you are getting out! :thumbsup:
 

Re: Mama "V" forked over a bracelet + more

Super finds there, MM, but LOVE that bracelet! 8)

Doug,

Good thing Mastereagle wasn't hunting with you. He would have cried about you finding more than him.....or maybe even peed his pants. He does that sometimes too.

Nice finds D~

Thanks DF.
You are right though, some places do replenish themselves. An example is the park I hit about a week ago. I found two nice gold rings there last year, and two more this time. Also the lost wedding band for a guy, making it three.

Great Finds ! I'll have to post some of my finds shortly. It's been so cold here in Indiana I haven't been out alot. I did buy a 10.5 round concentric coil for the Silver Umax and hopefully it arrives today. Can't wait to try it out and see how it compares to the 9x8 coil.

Dude,
I was wondering where you've been. I'll be up in Indiana in a few weeks to pick up my Dad's truck and drive it back home here to NC.
Can you make sure all the snow is gone so I can get a quick hunt in please. ;D :wink:
Thanks,
Doug

Re: Mama "V" forked over a bracelet + more

All the sudden you are finding V's with readable dates. Funny how this hobby works . Doug that bracelet is cool. So are the lantern parts. I found some of them before. It's been a while though. I am hoping to get another month of detecting time in but it's looking less and less likely. We will be able to go out tomorrow for sure.Good job man and keep on a postin. :icon_sunny:

All kidding aside, nice group of finds. . . I have yet to find a nickel before 1900.

Three dated "V"s in about a week. :thumbsup: Hopefully there are more out there. I still need an LC this year too. :-\
Hopefully you guys will be able to get another hunt or two in this year.
I froze my b-tt off today and didn't find squat. :'(

I thought I'd throw a few leaves in there to make it look like I found more. Did it work? :icon_scratch: :tongue3: :tard: ;D :wink:

Re: Mama "V" forked over a bracelet + more

Dang. You did find another V nickel! Now I'm going to have to cough up another one from my site. :wink: ;D :D

I did hit it up on Friday and all I could scrape up was a Merc.... oh well...take what you can. 8)

Friday night we got some snow and we still have at least 2" on the ground. It was wierd driving over to my mom's tonight and seeing the snow covered ground and Christmas lights before Thanksgiving.

Bob,
You wouldn't believe where it was either. Right in the main path (right front corner) that goes to the back yard. The 1909 wheat was in the back close to that cellar door, and the bracelet was by the back of the smokehouse.
I told you I'd find another "V". Not it's your turn buddy. :thumbsup: You are still a 1/2 reale ahead of me though. :wink:
Congrats on the Merc. :thumbsup:
