went out this morning at sunrise

[Plazz58]

I got an early start this morning and went to a local park only to find the grass was as tall as me and was not able to detect there, I went over the fence to an old convent that has been abandon for at least a decade. I worked for about an hour dug 2 holes and signal just disappeared my pinpointer was acting very erratically. I really was thinking there was someone or something watching me. But I stuck it out and said to myself out loud I just want to find 1 thing. So I get another signal with iron over tones . I dig the hole and pull out an old toy horse with no legs. there was a tree root over and I dug around it. My Friend Terry always tells me to double check the hole and I did. This time I get a good signal and find an old watch I didn't think it was any good as it is damaged. I sent Terry a picture of the watch and he thinks it silver and over 100 years old. Wow this is only my 2nd silver find and feels good.

I went to another park which is filled with junk to practice and pulled out what looks like a clad belt buckle with a $ sigh on it a key quarter and broken dog leash clip.

I found a similar lead horse in Valhalla, about four years ago. Must have been very popular toys at the turn of the Century!

Sweet finds! Now if they would only tell you their story how they ended up where you found them. That would be amazing.

Cheers

Great stuff! Whenever I find lead horses or soldiers the thin bits(legs/arms) are usually missing. Sometime I can still see the teeth marks where the kids chewed them off, just like I see the legs chewed off of the modern plastic toys at yard sales....
