Killing it with my 800 brings more Spanish silver to light.

June 1 detecting finds photos.
We went back to the site of the Pine Tree Schilling and pistareen. I'm thinking we should get on some heavy work gloves and move the larger modern era overburden of metal trash from a section that needs it. My stepson pulled a colonial copper and I think an 1844 large cent. Everything pictured was found with my 800 except the antique silver watch. The rain got to heavy for a short time to use the stock wireless headphones despite some tree cover. I could have swapped to some $20 earbuds under a floppy hat but grabbing another detector was faster for me. The Equinox hits high conductors just fine. I'm a park 2 user, even in farm fields for now. Heck of an interesting detector, big fun factor. Where's the six inch coil!!! Minelab, listen to your customers!

Assayer initial "G" below the mintmark pegs this as only 1730.

Silver pocket watch. I'll take this to my good friend who is a jeweler. I'm guessing coin silver case.

I wanted to know who made this and it is engraved Humbert Geneva. Had my jeweler open the case and enlighten me. Antique European, Geneva was a hub of fine watch making.

Curious how much the case alone weighs?

Possibly Victorian or Art Nuevo ?

He also straightened the bracelet. Belt bracelet is a style seen as late as about 1940 and as far back as 1900. Popularity of styles fluctuated, sometimes repeated.

Very top I believe is a 1/2 cent. I should compare the properties of a contemporary farthing that would have passed along side the Spanish silver.

Cool finds, quality toy gun.

It's a break top design, needs some lube after a bit more cleaning.

Realistic design.

A group from another site this week. There's a CT copper there, the deepest copper I've dug at a full 12". Plowed and and smoothed, prepped farm field.
The EQX hit this hard with the stock coil raised a bit.

Nice work!
You may enjoy Field 2 as well. It seems to be a bit more stable or tame to me. I agree, it's a fun machine.

WOW you and your stepson are totally blitzing it there with some memorable finds
Congratulations :clapping:
what a pearl of spot
 
Thanks all for the kind words. I'm amazed that we stumbled upon a site following a permission he received that yielded finds that span the history of the area from the mid 1600's to date. It's not even a rural site. That it hasn't been picked over from what we can tell has me thinking anything is possible. A couple years ago I gave my stepson the Redbook so he'd have some kind of reference for his U.S. coin finds. I still here his words "Tree Coin" from a week ago echoing in my mind. He knew it was early but didn't know the significance of that piece. The story behind the pre federal issues are some of the best numismatic reading imho.

Fantastic detecting ! That kind of site is what dreams are made of and I'm envious to say the least . Most of the time old beats gold .
 
Amazing finds Bruce!! Dream hunt indeed. Glad to see the E-800 pulling the goods from the ground. Curious as to what your settings were?
