Coins and Junk

[TURNMASTER]

Well here is some of the junk, just a sampling, I am digging in an effort to get a better handle on this machine and its music. Lots of bits of wire and bent nails, I think I can recognise them now. lots of roofing nails still, they seem to hit good and strong from at least one direction. The nails all seem to have one commonality in that all seem to have some sweeps that ID with real high ferrous numbers. I still dig a fair bunch of screws, both wood and machine, and bolts especially bolts with attached washer (rusty).

The spear point looking thing must have been from an old wrought iron gate or some such similarly broken and discarded item. It was about 10" deep
One of the 4 Wheaties is a 191? and real crusty. it hit with a real high ferrous # of 18 to 20.
The lock sure could use a key. I have yet to dig up a matching key for any lock I have dug.
The button is from the Great Northern Company. SS. I can not read the back.

The Merc is 1919S. When it hit the tone had a thump sort of sound after the tone. I have heard this with a few other silver and copper coins. Is this an indicator? I have passed on other targets that had the "thump" but IDed as shallow iron.

Oh Yeah the lure was made in France and patented in France and GB. Says MEPPS AGLIA patented in... on the front. sounded real good in 2 directions and IDed solid penny.

The Great Northern Pacific Steamship Company was formed by James Hill on September 30, 1914. The line was to compliment the passenger train service on the Astoria Line and compete with the Southern Pacific trains to San Francisco. The company operated two ships, the S.S. Great Northern and S.S. Northern Pacific. The ships proved faster than the SP

You are blessed my friend. I'd give nearly anything to be out and digging for lost treasure again. It's been a month since the surgery and it looks like I have at least a month to go before I'll be doing any digging. God bless and good hunting.

Congrats on your patience in hunting and digging all that junk with some nice coins coming out! I would say experiment with your detector by digging all questionable sounds until you get to know them as well as you can and then you can weed some out without digging almost everything! Practice makes perfect 'tis said! May God Bless! Amen! Ma Betty
