Apr. from 3rd(?) week finds - 1 buckle, 3 silver, 1 flashlght,...

[BlackX]

From a (purportedly) well-pounded old site. The buckle was in a hole with at least 2 pieces of iron. The peace symbol was deep and ring in solid as a nickle. The whole left side is pieces of lead. When was the last 10 feet of ribbon was 10 cents?

Mini-Mag was about 3" down and worked when I turned it on. The broken bracelet came out all nice and shiny and looks like silver but no noticeable markings.

The snake ring is silver (though not the best photo).

Probably the stock 10.5 Slimline. (Used the WOT once on the ball/farm field but it was a bit much for me at that point.) The ball/farm field actually isn't too bad compared to a lot of places I dig. I'd say about medium trashiness. The 2nd site, behind a historic building a few towns over is extremely trashy near the building where, from what I can tell, another building used to be that burned. (Tons of nails and melted lead.) That's where I found the buckle w/ the stock coil. Further out in the field is much less trashy except where another building was but I haven't found anything particularly interesting yet in that part. At this point though, I think I'm at the point where I want to start playing with the 5" coil more in the trashier areas I hunt and see what I can learn from that..
