On base finds

[Ilovetodig]

These a a few of the interesting things I have found on base in the past few days. I really like the lock. It came out in good shape but the lock part is froze open.


Ok, some of the pics didn't attach. I'll try again.

Nice...but that's not a lock. what is it?

I think its an old Army lapel pin. It has the US and a 16 underneath of it. I figured out how to attach the rest. Sorry.

Interesting finds! Figure out where they trained, around old barracks are also good. Good luck, has to be some silver there and HH, Mike

Really nice finds ! What base you hunting?Good stuff.

I detect on Pope AFB in North Carolina. I have found a few silver on base and posted those awhile back. I have found everything out in the wooded areas, thats the only places I'm allowed to hunt. Base beautification and all. I think Fort Bragg used the area as a training ground for thier troops due to all of the spent rounds I have found. At least I'm allowed to hunt.

I may end up at Pope ,if so I will look you up.

Birdman,

That would be cool but right now it looks like I may be headed to Guam in May. Give me a shout if you get here before then.

good finds, I was down there oct 03 to feb 04 training and living in the old wwII barracks area where they are doing alot of construction...I only hunted a little but found a handful of wheaties, that area has got to be loaded with silver if a person got the time put into it

Congrats On Some Interesting Finds. Guam Should Be a Great Area To Hunt, Best of Luck. trk5capt...

Pope has been fairly good for finds and it gets me my fix when I need it. Fort Bragg is strictly off limits for detecting. If they catch you all equipment will be confiscated to include your vehicle and you will be arrested, so if you get back this way be careful detecting on Bragg. They aren't playing around. They caught some people not too long ago. It cost them a pretty penny.

That handle thingy looks like one off of an aluminum ice cube tray.
