Well, a Friend and I started the Saturday off at about noon, and decided to do this strip of grass between 2 streets...Well, let me tell ya it was a total trash pit with soda cans, pull tabs, screw caps, iron, and general metal trash...Did pull a few clad coins from here...Well, when we got through with that, we ended up at a school that was built in 1918...The lot next to it has history before this time (back to mid 1800s). A house once stood in the lot and was tore down in the mid 1900s after catching fire...There is a lot of iron trash, pull tabs and screw caps, and can slaw from carnivals this school has held over the years to raise money, but the AT Pro sifts through it well (If you do not mind listening to endless chatter in your ears in Pro modes)...I have hit this field many times with my past detectors, and know I walked right over the Indian Head cent countless times and NEVER dug it because it came up as a high end pull tab reading (VDI 62-65)...It was at 5 inches...The Washington Silver Quarter (VDI Solid 91) was at 6 inches about 10 feet away from the Injun...This find would have eluded most detectors, because it was surrounded by pull tabs...The AT Pro just happened to pull it out...
Finished at about 6pm.

Interesting Items (coin looking thing is a "Glad Your Here 2000" Token...All I can get off it) Anyone know what that big circle item is?


HH,
 
Great clad haul!:super:Congrats on the silver and the IH!:beers:
No clue on the big circle item.:shrug:Maybe try the whatzit forum.:wiggle:
Happy Hunting!:)
 
Nice hunt!! 1859, cool, 152 years that Injun's been waiting for you.
 
1859 was first year they switched the back to the laurel wreath...1860 they added the shield....:thumbup:
If this was in Proof shape, it is worth almost 2 grand...

HH,
 
U did good on the clad Gopher. A big silver shiner and a n old IH would make my day.:thumbup:
 
Hey GoGo,
Nice work and nice finds! It's amazing what the ATP finds that others have missed. Could that big thing with all the holes be part of a ball bearing assembly maybe as a ball bearing spacer?
