Thanksgiving Hunt with Lots of Potential...and some Decent Finds!

[romeo-1]

I got out for the day with a bud from "the city" for some scouting and detecting. We started at a site where I've hunted in the past just to get warmed up and I found the larger shield thing. This is mostly a Victorian site so I would age the shield based on that but there isn't anything on it to identify it but I'm thinking furniture brass. I've got it in peroxide right now and hoping for something.

We then decided to go knocking on doors and the first site we tried we got enthusiastic permission! It is a HUGE area which has seen occupation from the mid 1600s to the 1930s. Of course I'm more interested in the older targets but will take it all. I know there is old there becasue of the tombac button and the broken buckle frame but most of finds were later. The small shield is a WWI or WWII sweetheart brooch which is in the lemon juice right now. I thought the padlock was pretty cool and the Lusitania pocket watch! My partner also found a pocket watch and a wrist watch...weird.

Sweetheart pin is OK but nothing to write home about. This is the area that you, IP and I drove to but didn't hunt. It's that huge peninsula that is nearly an island...we crossed a single lane bridge to get there and you commented that anything could pop up at a site like that. I think the actual site is across the road from where we were hunting today...but the corn is still on...I think the quality will go up on the next hunt!

Yes I remember that, you got a lot of space there, and yes I still believe anything could show up there, good luck on your return

A huge area with lots of potential, got to like that.
"enthusiastic permission!" that's cool too, better than a raised eyebrow, and "what do you expect to find"

That smaller pin, looks very familiar...
