Pictures of finds from the last couple of my hunts. I was digging away pretty good Wed. morning when my son called and said he was ready for some fishing. Although we had planned to fish Wed. afternoon and Fri and Sat, fishing was so good we came back last night.
And I speak with forked tongue. It was down right tough. All in all, the hunts again yielded a variety of finds, including running into the 3 Merry Widows again. The big amber piece is a hairbrush, kind of an ornate buckle, (I think) which I recovered in 2 pieces about 5" apart. Got an old appearing toasted toy car that has some writing underneath so hopefully with some tender care cleaning I can get the mfg name. Also found a toasted cell phone and a round disc with Chandler, Hook Mfg Co, Buffalo, N Y. Dug the G E doorbell this morning along with the 43d Merc and the Rolex watch. The watch, which appears to be fake, but will test it to make sure, came out of the same scoop of dirt as the clad quarter. I took a shot of the log I was hunting beside when I hit the watch and quarter. Hope you all can dig some good ones. HH jim tn

I gave your method hunting the woods a go today...couldnt take just sitting around any longer, took a tiling spade since the ground is frozen, under the leaves and snow it was diggable..nothing good, but had fun finding some hotwheel cars and whatnot. Also, I could run full sens, so that was new to me as well, Its raining up here right now, so I dont know what to expect for the sledding hills tomorrow, they will probably be solid ice.
...I hear alot of strange noises coming from these woods at nite....Stepping over logs and walked and walked picking up a few shotgun shells here and there, saw a deer stand, noone in it, I think I'll be ok I said to self........Got on in there alittle deeper, started stumbling over rocks and gettin alot of signals, appears to have been something here, sure hope its not haunted whatever it is I thought..Started pickin nails and finding broke pottery pieces.....Still taking time to look around for something that might want a bite of me, I dig up this little tiny round thing and rub off the dirt and I seen the words half dime, I turned it over and saw 1853. I said OMG!.....lts a seated liberty.......I screamed woo hoo and did a happy dance!....Wow I didn't know these things were so tiny......I never found another coin after that....My first half dime and now I'm thinkin Why has this coin got a hole in it...............Yes I will go back soon!.......
I have never found one myself. Seriously, really great find. HH jim tn
