I went back to the cool old home site I detected at last Saturday and found a few more neat old coins. Plus some very neat odds and ends finds. Those are fun to find as well. Hope the slideshow works this time. Jim http://img150.imageshack.us/slideshow/player.php?id=img150/6716/1209249913lr3.smil
Wow nice finds. I went for alittle while today as well. I wasnt supposed to dig much for holes in the lawn so i set the discriminator way up. But I found a few nifty trinkets. I found a model train, a brass pill box, 3 silver spoons, a really old spark plug, and I found an old Three in One glass oil bottle while I was digging up the spark plug. So far I found the bottle on Ebay. The ones listed that have dates call it late 1800s. Its prob a 2oz. glass bottle with a cork top. The spark plug is rather large and its the type that needed to be primed. Anyhow, we had alot of fun and my buddies dad who owns the house thought we had some cool finds, and he was very happy to see that the holes we did dig, were not noticeable. We were very very careful while digging in the grass. We carefully used the shovel to cut nice plugs out of the grass and were very neat when we replaced them. So he wants us to go back and dig up the rest of the yard. He is no longer worried about us making a mess of his lawn, so next time we can spend alot more time close to the house and wont have to turn the discriminate way up.
I really envy you folks on the east coast. We don't get stuff like this on the west coast especially in the big cities. I guess I'll have to live vicariously through your posts.
Nice finds! Some pretty interesting non coin finds as well!! I like the slideshow, but prefer a still photo so I can study the finds in detail without them moving.
