July Door Knocking

[Bell-Two]

Taking advantage of a moderating temperature and a nice breeze Diane and I went out and did a door knock. He stopped at an old house that I have been eyeing for a while, we had been detecting in an adjacent field all winter and turning up some great finds. The lady that answered the door was very nice and gave us permission to detect and stated that she had seen us detecting and thought it was an interesting hobby! Diane made the first find a wheat cent and followed that up with a nice flat button. She later found a toy locomotive and a curious Batman Returns token.







Looking up on the internet it seems this token is a desirable collectors piece for Batman collectors!




My finds included a toy airplane, hem weight and two pieces of a pocket watch case that were 10” deep!



My best find of the day was this I got a good signal on the CTX a solid 12-43 at 4” and was very pleased to see a Barber Dime in the hole. This 1914 has razor sharp detail and full Liberty!

Love that Barber...and it's in really great shape...'Liberty' looks completely intact in the headband, and the kernels of grain on the back appear all well defined.

Nice.

It is aluminum, Diane was excited to see it but she said as soon as she picked it up she knew it was aluminum.
