Mom always said..... (my first LC and other cool finds)

[treblehunter]

Mom always said it never hurts to ask. A few days back I was reading some threads, one was by a guy(Vino, junior member) about a church he was doing in old Phila. Pa. Long story short I sent him a PM titled, "Mom always said....." and asked if he wanted any help. Next thing you know I'm on the phone with him for about an hour and a half. Today he had me come up and help him metal detect the church grounds. I'll let him tell you what he found, but I found some very cool stuff. My two hour hunt started with a regiment button

Then a Large cent, which after some real efford and the help of my sons 19 yr old eyes, I managed to pull a date of 1810, a Classic Head Cent


A religious token

A couple strange artifacts, clad, key and lead


My head is still reeling from the excitement of the finds and Vino's generosity of letting me hunt with him. Thank you again George, you have made me a very happy detectorist. Hopefully this will be the first of many hunts together and I'll be able to find as awesome of a site to detect together for him some day. (very tough act to follow).

Thanks for looking, and HH everyone!!!!

Almost forgot the wheaties, I found four of them, 1910, 1915, 1940, and a 1946
I cleaned up the pendant and took a shot with my phone, I put this on "what is it?" forum.
I'm hoping I could get a id on this find. Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I found a 1965 dime, never fails, seems like out of my last six hunts I have found at least one near miss silver dime or quarter, it is now a new category in my coin collection. 1965 dimes and quarters. I'm going to tally up May of 2014 on my anniversary/birthday.

Thank you, I really did.
Going back today, hopefully we will be able to spend some more time hunting. I'm so excited with anticipation there is so much more ground to cover. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning, ha lol.
