Spent the morning at a funeral downtown for a relative who was in the Navy in WW2, 94 yrs old. He was born in 1926, his parents were born in the 1800’s. The military flag ceremony was emotional, my first.
Did not plan on detecting today, but the rain finally stopped and my family was wiped out from the morning and just kicking back. So hit a spot deep in the woods that produced well last year, but had slowed way down. Thought at least I would have a nice hike to decompress from the morning.
Started slow, but first good targets a couple thimbles, great sign.
Then found this fob.
Blank on the back, anyone recognize it??
Got a few small buttons.
Then a nice deep 15 signal on the Nox, this signal is usually a shotgun shell head stamp, but deep is always enticing.
Turned out to be a large 2 piece sportsmen’s button. Not sure how old this is, but it is my favorite find of the hunt.
Hit an area that was overgrown last time I was there, but now swingable and found a wheat and this. (First silver of the year, slow start...)
Trifecta of spoons, Tombac, Pewter and Plated.
Charge token.
Nice watch winder.
Mystery item, heavy brass.
And at the end of the day I decided to super slowly swing the hotspot that we had pounded last year, only a 10’x20’ area. No good signals left but removed a big iron pipe and eventually got a couple one way squeakers.
It turned out to be my best hunt of 2020 so far! Good luck out there!!
