2nd trip to new honey hole - more silver

[Jaichim24]

Well, my last post was a 4 hour hunt at a new site that yielded 3 silver and a bunch of intersting finds. If you remember, last year I detected my church yard, this year I'm detecting the parsonage property. I went after work on Friday, so this time out I only had 2 hours. I did not hunt the front which is where I think most of the "good" finds will be. The pastor is away on vacation and I opted to detect the side and back yard. The side and back yard is smaller and I thought it would be less intrusive if I detected while they are away. They have a dog so I think it'd be barking all the time. Also, they park their camper in the back, and now it is with them on vacation. I picked up the half penny in the dead spot where the camper was along with a few other coins. The IH was on the side of the house in the part of the yard connected to the church yard. I also found the pin and the turtle there. I was using my 12X15 SEF and even it was having a hard time separating. I'm going to need to hit this portion with my smaller coil soon. The quarter was on the far side of the back yard going towards the garage. Anyway, 2 for 2 for silver, so I'm happy.

Enjoy the pics..

Nice turtle pin - I found one like that years ago with a big red stone (I think it was made of plastic) for the shell - but it was cool anyway. I like that round thing.....any ideas on what that is????

if only that 1933 penny was with a differant face,you'lld be in the money.!!!!.

I didn't even think that the English half-penny might have been a key date. I'm curious about what the "better" one looks like. Do you happen to have a link to a website that would show the difference? What would it have been worth versus what it is actually?

I'm not sure what the round thing is. Some sort of decorative blah blah. I believe it is made out of lead. It's wierd, if you look closely you can see bright orange color, and there is even some blue/green under the surface tarnish. I was not able to get the "tarnish" off to reveal perhaps the paint. It's also broken, I believe it originally was 4 circles in the middle.

I don't know what that round thing is but I have one also. I don't know where your located, but I'm in Missouri. Like yours mine appears to be made of lead. It's kind of an interesting item.

I'm in CT, as I mentioned found this near a church, the properties date to the 1900's. Not sure what was there before. I'm still thinking something ornamental. I can't see using a lead item for a harness or some sort of tool.

I'm gonna have to check my scrap metal I've been getting from this location. I remember a few more lead peices. Perhaps the remainder of it.
