    ghost town gives it up to 705 again!

    this wheat field has given me my oldest coins by far. there's tons of old iron/trash in the ground. i just wish the drive wasn't so long. the back of the 1905 penny was so crusty i didn't include the picture. (10.5 DD MF coil)

    could someone re post the link to that shotgun headstamp site, thanks

    i lost the link when i changed computers, it was the best headstamp site i have ever seen. i found 2 headstamps at a 1890s town site that is now just a wheat field, no trace of it is left.

    penny signals

    i'm fairly new to the 705, but at this point i dig all penny signals even though 95% of the time it's a penny or trash. i started doing this about a month ago and since then i've dug more silver than the last two years put together. old dog just learned a new trick.:beers: just thought i'd put...

    another first.....heavy silver necklace

    first time at this spot. 20 inches long, 30.74 grams. this thing was about 3.5" deep and almost completely stretched out in a straight line. i'm still new to this, i don't know how i didn't chop it in half!! i could tell it wasn't a coin size before i dug, but since the area wasn't super trashy...

    big skeleton key and butterfly ring

    best day so far for "other than coin" items in one day. if anyone can tell me what the marking on the ring is i'd appreciate it, i can't make it out. i used a tooth brush on both of them. the key came from the 30+ acre grounds of a 3 story 55 room mansion built in the 20's, this place has hand...

    1 mill token

    since getting my detector and digging up just under 600 individual clad coins so far, this is only the second token i have ever found. i also just found my first rosy dime but i didn't figure anyone would want to see a picture of that since they look the same as current ones. so far only 2 wheat...

    more iron

    it was more work to scrub the mud off the chain with a wire brush than it was to dig it up. more nails and poison ivy than you would believe, relic hunting isn't a hobby it's just plain work.

    first gold ever!!!

    i cant believe it. i finally found a spot where they obviously pick up the cans before they mow. the ground is super noisy with false iron signals but no slaw!!:clapping: once i realized that i started digging the "trash" signals instead of just coin ID's. this is what i got for digging a solid...

    need help dating "winchester repeater" headstamp

    i found info. that says the "repeater" series was produced from 1896-1938. the ones produced from 1901-1920 had "1901" in place of the word winchester so those years are excluded. that leaves 1896- 1900 or 1921-1938 as the possible production years according to "cartridge corner.com" if anyone...
