Metal Detecting a 165 year old home built by a Governor of Missouri in 1851.

Went on a hunt with my dad in Hilsboro, MO at a home built in 1851. I found a Trade token, some porcelain Boyd's Jar lids, and a wheat penny from 1927.. My dad found a 1913 Ford Mode T hub cab, a lead musket ball, and some Bullet casings.. It was a fun hunt..

Sounds like a great place to hunt. Your lucky to get to hunt with your Dad. Go as often as you can. I love the Ford hub cap. It should look awesome cleaned up. Welcome to t-net[emoji482]

Ya'll are doing pretty well, great assortment of stuff, I believe that I see some pretty old Relics + Mid 1900's + Items.

IMO There has got to be some older items there, If I were there I'd "Try" to dig most every signal ; ? able ones I'd maybe dig down 2-3 inches & see if the signal gets better & Try to hit it after a good Rain if you can.

IMO Unless it;s been hunted hard before ....There just has to be some Mid-Late 1800's pieces around that old of a site.

Def, not downplaying ya'll's Finds...A-lot of nice ones.

Go slow , low , & Grid if you can.

Welcome to the site & look forward to your Future Finds/ Posts.
