- Metal Detecting
Went by Tony's today and his pick-up was in the driveway. 
I pulled in and knocked. Tony came to the door and explained to me that he has bought his son a metal detector for Christmas and I can hunt his yard as long as I allow his son to use my back-up detector and provide him some tutelage. After I got him geared up with a garden trowel, nail apron, knee pad, pin pointer and my BH LRP detector off we went with the training. He is an outstanding young man. He ended up digging about 75 cents and the coolest relic was a flattened aluminum "White's Sewing Machine" thimble. I hunted the front yard off and on during the training mission. I ended up pulling a 1950 rosie (silver #52) 
, 3 wheats (1941, 45, & 53D) along with a 1907 IHP. Around 2PM he had to get ready to go somewhere with his family, so instead of pounding his yard, I left so he has some good targets to dig when he gets his new detector. From the price Tony quoted of $60 I assume it's a low end BH detector. Since I started with a low end detector last year I am more than confident that with my help, he will become a MD legend. 
Off I went looking for another site to hunt. I drove by the house where I pulled the LC yesterday and noticed the house is for sale.
With this in mind I did not stop, presuming the owner wouldn't want his front yard dug up when he is trying to sell the place. I ended up going 2 lots to the North. This is the original home site that was subdivided back in the late 1800s. It's still about 5 acres of which I have already hunted a few times in the past 2 years. I dug copper tubing, cans and a lot of other trash today. It's never a good sign when you dig modern soda cans at 6 inches. To me this means that fill was introduced to the site and then leveled. The only good target dug there today was a clad dime.
