Only put the coil to the soil for a couple hours a day and still managed to find a vast array of objects in the feilds and hills of new york !! I'll go back when I can and detect my aunts property and do the farm too. 1000 acres with many ruins going back to the late 1600s. I left some great big iron back at the barn and got about 30-35 more of the brown ceramic insulaters. I was detecting wire on a hill side, and some of the insulaters were still connected !! Most of this stuff is right around 1900-1920. But some much older stuff is mixed around too. only coins I got were a barber dime and a mercury dime. I talked to the fire cheif in town and he is an avid MDr too. He said I had spots on my aunts farm with great potential and he himself had found coins going back as far as the1600s. This was my first scouting trip up and I spent alot of time learning the lay of the land. It should get better each time I go.

nice finds

Folks,

We've been gardening for 33 years now in our backyard in all those years this is the first time we spotted a praying mantis.

They are great for keeping the insect pests under control this one is about 4 inches long.

neat tag

plenty of glass around too, nice clear glass hemingray insulater, and an unmarked green !! I took the glasses because they were dated,1903,1920. cool salt shaker has a hundred cracks but is whole. Next time ill really dig in at the base of the farm dump where I saw promising frags from the 1800s. Everything got pushed over the hill and is scattered down the hill.

The soil and dirt/clay is very kind to the artifacts up here. Much of the iron is protected well !! Every other metal is even better preserved.
