I only had a bit of light left this afternoon, but I wanted to take a walk around a new site I found before the snow and rain comes this weekend. It is the site of a 100+ year old house still standing. I found a very old overgrown road and walked a few hundred feet swinging my coil here and there. I got a lot signals and there was a lot of old pots, jars, buckets and scrap laying about. I got a decent signal and decided to see what it was. It was the top of a mason jar. It was glass and says "Kerr" on it. There was a small bit of rusted remains of the screw top on it and my detector picked it up. Don't know if it is worth anything or how old it is. I also saw an old cork top bottle lying in the dirt near a tree. It says "The J.R. Watkins Co." on it, pretty neat old bottle. Down the road I came to a creek and I could tell that there had been a bridge there many, many years ago but there was nothing left of the structure. No timber or steel. Nothing! I plan on doing some detecting there in the very near future. On my walk back to the car my dog was very interested in something so I walked over to see what he was sniffing and it was a very large shed antler. I have found others but this was the biggest. The base measures 4 inches around and the length from base to tip is about 16 inches. So for a very short hunt I came out with some nice finds.
