I was trying to locate the 1800’s farmstead overlay dot at the top center of a new big park.
Zig zagging through the sloping former farm field I heard from the path above a guy yelling something to me. Pull out an earbud and yelled back “what’s up” and the dude with his big German Shepard yelled back “What color is the blood?”. Not understanding this statement, I lifted my detector so he could see what I was doing. Turns out he thought I was tracking a wounded deer, not sure about the blood color thing. Oh yeah, time to wear orange in PA.
It took about an hour of trying to find some patches low enough to swing until I found this.
Tiny pewter tea cup. Knew I had found the home site. Spent a couple hours trying to get the coil close enough to pick up some signals, definitely have to go back in the winter.
ID’d as a diary lock.
Some roundness.
Buff has a date! 1916, only my second with a visible date.
This is my 6th turn of the century Pittsburgh beer token, group shot.
Some flat buttons with back marks.
The petal shaped one has a partial shank on the back.
Found a bunch of iron horse tack and some brass.
The piece in the upper right looks like an 1800’s MacGyver job for some type of carriage reigns guide thingy.
Also recovered a soda bottle and mason jar on a couple lunch hunts this week.
Good luck out there!
