More nail digging...

[PlzBSeated]

My sites are quickly fading. Been going over the same old spots digging as many nails as possible, trying to come across good targets that are masked.



The two cent piece didn't even make a peep until I had cleared several nails from the area.



This too did not produce a signal until nails were cleared from the area.

Not sure what it is. Appears to be copper foil. Says "The Great Mammoth Baloon Air Ship, 95 Feet High, Will Ascend to the Clouds, Freighted With People Each Day of Exhibition, City of Paris". Wonder if it is referencing the 1878 World's Fair in Paris?



Almost put this one in the trash pouch thinking it was a piece of plumbing. Appears to be a miniature tea cup. Possibly pewter.



And then a number of oddball finds. Some just appearing as I dug quite a few holes to remove nails.

Today's finds...

1868 Two Cent Piece
1939 Mercury Dime
Foil piece depicting The Great Mammoth Baloon Air Ship
Miniature Pewter (?) Tea Cup
Four hole button made from shell, mother of pearl

I think you did good weeding through the undesirable stuff to get the nice items

Looks to me like the digging out the nails paid off for you. Congratulations! It appears you still have finds to recover there! Thanks for posting.
