The weather and family obligations have been against me lately. We have had freezing temperatures and snow on the ground for the past 10 days. At home there is still snow on the ground, but 10 miles to the east the snow has melted and the temps have gotten above freezing the past few days so I took a drive to the campus.
I got out my heavy duty shovel and tested the ground. There was a layer of frozen ground but the shovel cut through so I got out the CZ 21 and geared up and started swingin. I have been working a grid so I started where I left off hoping for some goodies. The first few holes were fine, but then I hit an area where the ground was frozen to about 3 inches. The shovel cut through ok with my full weight on it, but some of the targets were in the frozen part and it took a lot of extra effort to free them. I’m a die hard so this is not a new thing, I just makes me work a little harder and take a little longer to get the goodies.
I spent 5 hours detecting before I had to get the kids off the bus from school. I ended with a nice pile of clad and a few interesting finds. Nothing great or valuable, but enough to make the day a good one.
180 coins face value $13.17.
2 keys, 2 tokens, a folded up “Property of” tag from the college, a Canadian dime and a 1944 s 1 centavo for the Philippines.
The keys are British made WILMOT BREEDEN car keys, used for Austin Healy, Jaguar, MG’s, Morris and Triumph.
The Philippine coin is a United States coin. We issued coins for the Philippines from 1903 to 1945. This one is has been hammered on the edges so the poor thing is in bad shape. This is only the second coin of this type I have found in 16 and a half years of detecting. My guess is that it was brought home by a GI who was stationed in the Philippines during WW2.
Another good day outside. I won’t be able to go out for a couple of days even though the weather should be decent. Tis the season for family activities and they come first. Thanks for looking and may your coil lead you to good things.
