Went detecting today and found a good one.
Last week I detected a 10' X 40' construction site in town. There was a 5' deep trench and I asked a guy running the digging machine if I could detect the dirt piles as long as I stay out of the hole. He said " have fun!"
I only found one wheat. Well today I went back and the job was done and the dirt smoothed out, no grass seed yet I found a silver ring, a Kalamazoo bus token and then my best find, a 1876 Indian. ( Picture #1 )I knew the 1877 is the best to find and I know all of them in the 1870's are good one's so I couldn't wait to get home and check it out.
After leaving there I went to where I dug some old bottles about 3 weeks ago and came home with 10 more keepers. My favorite one reads ( Picture #2 ) . " Liquid stove polish. Manufactured be J.L. Prescott Co. New York. Another one reads ( Picture #3 ) Watkins.
Also found a small dish from a doll set??
Picture #4 is everything that I found. The doll dish has the silver ring in it.
Sure had fun
Looking forward to the forum hunt now!!!
