started on two new field sites, got some keepers today

[Goes4ever]

Today I started on two new sites, they are right beside each other in the same field. One is an old homesite and the other is the site of a one room school site. Here is where I was today.........

first good target of the day was on the school site, and it was an 1892 Indian penny, always a good start

next was another interesting piece, it is this ultra tiny statue of liberty, not sure what it is, perhaps a small piece of jewelry?

got another indian shortly after that, this one was a 1900.......here are both of the IHC all cleaned up, they are a lil rough from all those years in the field fertilizer

Next I thought I'd move down to the homesite to try it out a bit, I kept getting solid penny signals and every one was those copper things that they used to hold on slate roofs, man those give a good signal!

I got an odd looking buckle, ...........then the find of the day for me, 1951 Ohio Chauffeur badge. This is a find I was real happy with.

here it is all cleaned up, turned out real nice!

and here is everything all together.............pretty good day, going back tomorrow, hopefully get some more goodies

Nice finds, goes4ever, and that sure is a large field to cover, but I guess you know where the school and old homestead were, so you can find the goodies easier without so much swingin' the old detector in all that field!!! God Bless! Betty

not sure, but in my town you can buy them at the county engineers office, maybe check your local courthouse for info
