I'm going to go back to my old ways of posting several hunts rather than making a post for each hunt individually.
So if you guys and gals don't mind just sit back for a minute while I catch up.
Thursday was no great shakes of a day.

Thursday was no great shakes of a day.It did however produce my favorite nickel design.
Friday could have been titled "Trash and Cash".
Whereas Saturday was a great day.
I finally got a nicely toned 1930 Jamie.
[ The Chinese contingent of a tour bus watched me dig the silver earring.

In life there are losers and finders. Which one are you? -
The Saint Mary item is gold. I am calling it 8K.
It did not pass the 10K acid test so I put it in the tumbler with water and vinegar for 4 hours.
There was no removal of any plating what so ever.So I filled the cup with 18K acid which bubbled away until a green smudge was left.
A quick rinse with water showed pitting but the gold is still there.My best find was this tag.
The Tailwagers club started in 1929.
I don't know how old this one is but the phone number is early.
Today Eric and I joined up for some swing time.
He had the best coin find for the day.
This is what I pulled for the day.
I think this was part of a ring before the lawnmower got hungry.

My best find was this skeleton key.

Bruce, did you find the skeleton key next to the skull? The lockplate is kinda neat. What kind of coin is that 1886 one?The chase is better than the catch...

Amazed by the amount of coins you find great stuff! You sure find a lot of rifle cartridges. The tailwagers token is cool.N.C. from the mountains to the seaComment

Okay I have to ask. With all those cartridges you find, many in parkland, are there shooters just blamming away up there? Just saying...Child of the tidesComment

You make it sound like I am living somewhere in the US Deb.😉
Actually, the area I have been concentrating on was used for training during WWI. 90% of the cartridges are blank training rounds. They give off a similar response as military buttons, so I have to dig them if I want the better finds. By the way that skeleton key sounded identical to a practice round that was only one foot away.

Thank you. Eric's coin is a US V nickel.Originally posted by BabaORiley View Post
By the way those nickels are notorious for losing all of their detail in the ground.
Here is the other side of it.Bruce
