Some eyeballed finds and other goodies!

[Ironman!]

I haven't been out much lately but the few times I did get out I eyeballed three pretty cool things while swinging my MXT. The 1st eyeballed find was an 1862 seated dime. You can tell from the blackness that it has been in the elements probably from the early to mid 1870's as everything else I find from here comes from that time frame. The 2nd eyeballed find was a nice 1850's calico button that was probably lost in the same time frame. The 3rd thing I eyeballed was found yesterday.....a teapot! I still can't believe how much this area has been hunted not only by me, but others, and that it was still lying on top of the ground enduring the elements all these years. It has a patent date of 1862.

Other finds I picked out from amongst the metal detected goodies include a nice woman's belt buckle with a patent date of 1863. The pocket watch cover is marked as pictured. A thimble made of iron and brass. The beads, buckshot, and caps were also eyeballed. After I saw the first bead I got down on my hands & knees and pulled out my reading glasses and found the other small pieces mentioned. Also an older style suspender buckle half and various bullets. I did dig an 1866 shield nickel yesterday, along with a ladies earring, civilian button, and a broken piece of another jewelry piece with gold gilt.

Not much, but I did get to go out and enjoy God's beautiful world and hopefully share this passion I share with you, TNet!

Go "git" your self a metal detector and hit that place or someone else will. If you can see those there's no telling what you are missing. Nice finds & goodluck

That's amazing! Really cool stuff. GaRebel is right; hit that place with a metal detector. No telling what you'll find!

Excellent eyeballing Larry! Amazing that nobody picked that tea pot up before, it looks to be in very nice condition.

That would be a good place to use a screen sifter.

Sorry for the poor wording in my original post. I was metal detecting when I eyeballed the three items mentioned! I corrected the wording and apologize if I led some astray with the post. Thanks for the affirmation!

Thanks tngirl! Yes, I have found many many buckles over the years but this one is quite unique and a nice looking buckle!!

Thank You Steve! What is funny about eyeballing that teapot is, I remembered hunting that same area about 4 yrs. ago. I must have zigged when I should have zagged, otherwise, I would have brought it home many years ago!!

That would be a good place to use a screen sifter.

It would and has seen a screen! Good call Tom!!
