Back to the farmhouse....no coins... but some neat finds

[JimmyCT]

Back to the farmhouse------ Today (6-11-11) no old coins popped up ( found about 38 cents in clad) but I did find two old buttons and a miniature (Eagle Lock Co, Terryville, CT ) pad lock. Never knew they made them so small. The small button had a nice smooth tone and locked in at 163 on my meter. The larger button also had a nice smooth tone and locked in at 173. The Little Eagle lock danced my meter up and down with variable audio. About an 8 point jump back and forth 165-173 the only thing I can think of there was other metal trash in the hole. Almost didn't dig....( I said almost lol) I kind of wrestled with the coil and target trying to figure what I was going to do. I tried to get the meter / audio to climb (which it did) but then it would drop some. In the end, something told me to dig. Now, if I can just find that little key to unlock it lol.

lol, there are 5.20 Acres to cover. Some of it has been covered by a parking lot, tennis & basketball courts, sidewalks, baseball diamond and a playground. This place will always produce. Since we had a good soaking rain the night before, it was real easy digging. No hard and dry ground to dig into.
