Back to campus again swingin the CZ21 for 6 hours. I gridded an area and started digging all mid and high tones. I covered a fairly large area and there were not a lot of targets compared to other areas of the campus. There were actually some large parts with no signals at all, not even ferrous signals.
All in all I found 57 coins with a face value of $2.28, a stainless steel spoon made In Korea, a small calendar from November 1972 (like ones made to go on a wrist watch band), a junky pendant, a broken key, a complete key, a copper rivet and a piece of a shoe buckle frame.
For me the piece of a shoe buckle frame is a rare find. I have found mostly pieces of frame (did find a complete frame 10 years ago) and never a complete shoe buckle. It was a faint mid tone and at first it looked plain and unadorned, but I used my magnifying glass and noticed it has some areas of a delicate pattern. I hoped to find more of the frame, but so far no luck. The way they move soil around when doing a final grade on a construction site the rest of the frame could be a long way off or under part of the parking lot (there is a large parking area nearby). I don’t have a lot of experience with these so if anyone can give an age range for this one I would appreciate it.
So a little gas money and a cool piece of campus history that will go to the campus library for their historic collection display. (All the older buttons, civil war bullets and historic artifacts will be donated).
I went to a local park and did some swingin over some areas I did a quick sweep of a long time ago. I branched out and expanded the area I had been detecting and did well coin wise and found a few interesting items.
Altogether in 3 hours I found 84 coins with a face value of $6.43, an old corroded brass faucet, a number 22 coal mine chit, a Saint Michael dog tag and a 1944 wheatie. For some reason I really like finding the old mine chits.
When I found the Saint Michael dog tag I thought it might be silver, but on closer inspection it does not have any jewelry’s mark and looking in the hole I can see a slight bit of copper color so it is plated copper. It looks like a prayer on the front and if you look REALLY closely on the back you can make out a series of dots that make a picture of an angel. A neat find, too bad it isn’t silver.
I did 2 more hunts with just clad and nothing else that was worth posting. 91 coins with a face value of $4.85 and 137 coins with a face value of $7.78. Good gas money to finish my year. Yesterday was the last day of my detecting year and concludes my 18th year of detecting. I will tally up the finds and post a year end report soon. Thanks for looking, stay safe and keep swingin.
