As day broke on Saturday, December 15, 2007, it was apparent that our unseasonably warm trend was continuing. While much of the rest of the country, particularly the Midwest, suffered ice storms and heavy snowfalls or freezing rain, we in Georgia
 
That funny, I always thought of Brunswick as the cold north when I lived in Orlando. We would always stop there for gas and we would have to put our coats on.

That is an excellent Ih. One to be proud of. That is also the advantage of sand. The soil where I live now would eat it up. You are fortunate to live in such a place and to be able to MD an old house like that. They don't come along very often.

Enjoyed your adventure. I know your area well. I have family there and in Nahunta.
 
Thanks.

We get lucky with copper sometimes. Don't get me wrong, though- that IHC was a fluke. I've dug my share of nasty, "crusty critters", too.

The freaky thing is, I have seen some of the relic hunters around here with EARLY LARGE CENTS that nice! I'm talkin' about 1790s Draped Bust and Liberty Cap cents! My only dug Draped Bust cent is toast, unfortunately. When I dug it, you could ID the type, but then I made the mistake of trying to clean it with electrolysis, and ended up "overzapping" it and now it is a featureless slug. Waaah!

I had another chance to hunt an old Victorian yard, two hunts previously. Just hop to the previous hunt in my link at the bottom, and hop back one more from there. I titled that hunt "The House on Hanover Square".

My novice detector friend Ty has been a very good person to know, since his contacts in the neighborhood have gotten us into two very productive yards so far.

As to the twisted Victorian mystery relic I found that day (with the "Wuyler's" name on it), I have since solved the mystery- it is a crumpled up pair of old sugar tongs.
 
Well, today will be my first hunt of '08, so here's hopin' I will find something worthy of a picture or two and a full DIGS O' THE DAY
 
Nice finds, thanks for sharing
