Yesterday I stopped and knocked on a door of a house that I've had my eye on. I talked to the homeowner for about fifteen minutes. We agreed on the terms* and I got the okay to come back today.
So I worked a half-day and then went on over. My first signal out was a 1950 wheat penny.
An hour later, I had 5 wheat pennies.
Then I dug some type of green stone.
It was in a jewelry setting of some sort, obviously broken off of a piece of jewelry.
A few minutes later, the homeowner came out to check on my progress and I showed her the stone. She was pretty excited! I explained that there was a good chance that the setting is gold because of the numbers that came in on my machine.
I also managed to dig two keys and an old fuse.
But, I'd have to say my favorite find of the day was what I believe to be a WWI Great Seal button.
To top it off, Carissa and the baby came to visit. Today was the baby's first real detecting experience.
She was right there with me when I dug a 1955 wheat penny.
It's hard to tell if she's as excited about detecting as I am (yet) but we sure had a fun time!
Today's keepers
*Terms of permission for today's dig:
- the homeowner could inspect all finds
- she would keep any and all items she wished to keep (she was interested in sentimental items because she grew up in the home)
- I would mow her lawn next week
