So where are the detector reports??

Re: RE: So where are the detector reports??

Back out at Stonetown today, it was very warm for winter, the ground recently saturated with rain and snow and thawed. I find stuff under these conditions that my detector misses under other conditions so it pays to try on days like this. Here's an in situ button shot, turned out to be a nice two piece w/shank decorated coat button.

Dug my 17th or 18th Large cent from there, can't read the date yet. And a square washer, some copper wire and a little trash. The ratio of trash to good finds is luckily very low at this site.

You should beep up a good something soon, Steve. I am glad your ground is okay for foraging yet.What did you ever come up with on the rocks in the woods formation? I am still wondering.Renee`

I have dug a few of those up too, Most recently in Millington, MI. Its too light to be silver, and doesn't seem to be aluminum. The ones I have are broke off such as your find too. No Identification (marks or lettering). Ive found a lot of silverplate stuff, and some sterling but the ones Ive found haven't the weight. I know its not steel either. Curious what you find it to be. Happy new year all....

Yes, seems too lightweight for silver, this sheath of wheat handle dug earlier seems even lighter and thinner. Joyous new year and new discoveries too...

Interesting. Were in the grips of winter here. No detecting or digging w/o explosives!! (ah the good ole days). Its definetley gloom and doom til March I believe. I dont think a winter thaw of just a few days would help. At the library now doing more research for Spring.Good luck to all.

Hey SurfWe just had Christmas today & I was gifted a metal detector so your picture is "SO TRUE" for around here. Well, the directions say "Do not use it in the house".Renee`
