With the fine weather here in Jacksonville, Florida in the 50s and clear, it's time to get out for some detecting. These finds are all from the public street curb strips and a playground.
They were found with the Garrett GTI2500 and the Teknetics Omega 8000. Both of the detectors are a pleasure to swing.
One can wonder how the 1949 British penny, and the 1983 Panama quarter, got dropped here.
The Lincoln cent marked "COPY" is plastic -- it was a surface find.
The .38 round is live. It was about 5 inches down in a playground. In a public place, this is better than finding a slug or an empty cartridge, one that was "used". Still, if it could talk, it would have a story to tell.
The piece marked "CC" is about 2-3/4 inches long, and heavy lead. On its back it has a rusty screw for mounting to something. The area was used as an assembling point for the US Army for shipment to Cuba during the Spanish-American War. No idea what it is, or if the piece might have had a military or commercial use.
Not shown are all the modern zincs and clads, which helped to put some gas in the car and batteries in the detectors.
It's great to get out. Cheers ...
