I hiked up to the ridge to look for… well, you know…a 1909 penny or…whatever.
I spent about three hours poking around, playing with the machine’s modes. There’s a couple old downed barbed wire fences and plenty of fence staples, and some modern nails, but also older stuff, too. I’ve found adze and axe heads up here.
Today it was .22 short and 30-30 brass, shotgun stamps, stuff like that. I found two old rectangular cut nails just sitting in the nook of a rock where they’ve been sitting for a hundred years. Maybe a piece of horse tack, too, but I’m not sure yet.
Not much trash, which is nice. (If you don’t count the 300 yards of fallen fencing. )
This particular shotgun stamp is nicely dateable; 1926-1934.
Here’s the two cut nails and the um, metal thing that I think is horse related.
