I hit a "foundation" area last Sunday and found a few items. This location is right on a main road but has never been really visibal to traffic. I think it might have been some type of business way back.
My first find was a small Naval flat button with guilt anchor/rope - pretty neat! My 2nd find was a fairly toasted KG II (Looks like 1730 but tough to see date).
I also found two brass bells and a buckle. In the photo between the bells is a guilt eyelet type thing. If anyone can tell me what it might be I'd appreciate it.
(It was down about 6 inches.)
Yesterday I hit a wooded area across the road from this foundation. Found a TOASTED 1864 IH and a couple wheats. Then I got a screaming signal with NO depth showing on the depth meter. I figured, must be junk since there was quit a bit of can slaw and such. Something about the signal told me to look anyway - glad I did. Turned out to be a silver Washington and two silver Rosies sittin' right on top of the ground under the leaves!! Also foud a very delicate broach-thing. Had to pull it out from the roots - lucky I didn't destroy it!
