Today's Vacant Lot Finds. Not much but definitely worth the effort!:detecting:

After work I decided to see if the ground was soft enough to finally get back out and detect and thank god it was. I was beginning to have Explorer use with-drawls! It was actually interfering with my sleep once or twice! Talk about ADDICTED! Anyways, I finally made it back out again after a very torturous week or so. I decided to go give a Vacant Lot I live next to a try since I know there is a lot of Iron and Junk in it along with some goodies if you are able to swing over them. This Vacant Lot has yielded quite a few Tokens and Coins along with some interesting Relics and such, and since it was after 4:00pm, I wanted to stay local and being that the Lot is about 100' or so Wide and I would estimate about a good 300-400' Long, I had to give it another shot. Lots of area to cover and I haven't even touched it yet. I have found 3 Halves at this Lot since I have been detecting it, 1 Walker that I found with my Bounty Hunter Big Bud Pro (before the Explorer even existed) and 2 Barber Halves in the same hole and not very far from where the Walker was found. A few Indians, Silver Merc's and Roosie's, Wheats and other Coins. I have found around 8-10 Emil Gregor Tokens and 1 Minnesota Token. So that is why I keep working it. Ok. Now for what I found today. I found a few interesting Misc. Items along with a Pouch full of Trash, and some of these Items were in with Iron. I found an old License Plate Bolt with Wing Nut attached and it has a Red type Plastic Stone. Also found 2 older Belt Buckles, an old Dresser Drawer Knob, and some kind of Button with I think a Flower Type Design. I also found a larger Marble in one of the holes which measure 3/4". What I think was the best find for today was an Indian with Head-Dress. It has a hollow open back on it, measures 1-1/2" High and 1-1/8" Wide, and I do have to say it is a very nice find and it will look great in my Display Case. The only Coins found today were 1 Zinc Penny, 2 Clad Quarters, 2 Wheat Pennies dated 1945 that has a piece missing out of it and the other is a 1946-d, and another Token. The Front has 25c on it and the Back reads Emil Gregor / Dray And Transfer / Casselton, N.D. It has a bit of Crud on it but it does come off but will take a bit to get it totally clean. This Token is a better one and is very sought after by Gary Kruessel. I have already traded about 5 or 6 of them to him and he still is interested in these Tokens. This Lot is the only place so far that has yielded this Token from my Home Town and I am 90% sure that the business isn't even mentioned in the Centennial Book. I have only browsed thru it so I am not entirely sure about that since I haven't read this Book yet, due to the Mass Collection of others I own and am currently reading. So I think this outing was a success even though a Silver would have been nice, but I will take the Indian Item and the Token in its place this time. Thanks for reading and looking at my finds. Good Luck and HH to you all!:thumbup: Pics Below![attachment 53699 MiscFinds.jpg][attachment 53700 Marble.jpg][attachment 53704 IndianItem.jpg][attachment 53708 WheatCents.jpg][attachment 53714 TokenFront.jpg][attachment 53716 TokenBack.jpg]
 
Had some time to kill and know it has a lot of iron in it, so I tried my Fisher F-75 to see how it would work. Got a old work horse bit, a small compact, a nice button with F.D. on it and feel it is a Fire Dept button and a few new coins, plus a lot trash too. You have got it fairly worked out, but we will have to meet there some day and see what we can do.

Good to see you got another one of those tokens, i was hoping to find one while I was there.
 
If you were too walk into the lot from the street, walk in going east until you are directly behind the first Apartment Building that is closest to the Vacant Lot. I found 1 of the Wheats and that Token directly behind this Building, about 1/4th the way out in the lot from the north end side. There is a lot of signals in this area and the Wheat Penny I found there yesterday was one I got going back to my place. Just walking thru and swung over it. I was hoping for another Token but I am just glad it was a coin. Good Luck and HH Rick!
 
Looking forward to this weekend and hopefully making a few nice finds. Good Luck and HH to you and your wife when you make it out. :detecting:
 
I am just happy that we didn't get the supposed Storm that was for this weekend. Know I can finally get out and make some finds. Good Luck and HH when the Snow melts!:thumbup:
 
I thought so too. I would of taken that Indian Item over a Silver Dime anyday. Good Luck and HH to you if you make it out.:detecting:
