Hello Everyone!!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and that the finds were plentiful, I myself had a pretty good detecting weekend, found a really neat button and a local token along with other odds and ends. :smile:
my weekend started Saturday afternoon after my wife left with our son to go the campsite to visit her parents, once they left I promptly left and headed for my new permission, once I arrived I quickly said my hellos to the superintendent and started detecting, about 30 min in I heard my name being said and low and behold it was the owner of the property, I have only talked to him by phone as he lives in another city, we shook hands and had a chat about detecting and on his way he went.
This site is littered with pennies,,, actually littered might be an understatement,,, Polluted with pennies might be more accurate, in a section 30x40 I have dug over 100, every few feet there is a penny, most time they mask another signal underneath it, I will clean it out, one at a time!!
This Hunt Produced Something quite Spectacular :yes: , a local Token made of aluminium commemorating the opening of the St-Lawrence Seaway in 1959, I don't imagine there are too many of these that ended up buried so I was extremely excited to see it in the hole, (I must admit I though I had a half or dollar at first)
Next I Found this very interesting 2pc button, I am hoping our forum experts can shed a little light as to what type of uniform it belonged to. :?:
I will be returning to this site this week sometime and will scan the yard going the other direction and see what else will turn up, hopefully I can get the deeper older targets. I did manage to find a 1950 dime this time around :hd3:
Happy Hunting
