So where are the detector reports??

[Dugout]

The rain will give you time to clean up your finds. We are getting rain here too.

Went out for a bit yesterday got 4 tokens, 2 quarters 2 dimes and 4 pennies. Thought the tokens were quarters as they were chrome plated ? over brass. Nothing old on that trip.

Good clad day today. A milkbone brand dog tag. Not sure when they started making these. Thoughts? It was deep though. Another tag I am thinking dog also. This just has a 7 digit number stamped on it. Any ideas to its age also?
The find of he day is a 1944P wartime nickel.
Came up as a quarter on the F2. Very excited about this one. Silver content!

Guess on the milkbone tag 1960s maybe? Looks like you've been doing very well out there!! I been cleaning up pretty good and deep targets with all the rain. Deepest was near 12 inches. Its a Fisher Body plant Id tag. Oval shaped with the carriage on it. Many wheat cents in the 1920s and 30s. Some copper cable, Clad clean up has been good also probably near $15 in the last week. Found an old trapper style folding knife today rusted no handles just metal parts, couple women's brass compacts. 5 chromed brass tokens, 1 brass token.

Been working the same area over as there's excavation going on. Pulled another 10 wheat's out of there (no silver yet) 1919,1918-S,1920,1926,1929,1941,1944-D,1952-D,1953-D,1955. Also a broken off end to a large fork or spoon silverplate says Hotel Linton on it. No one here heard of it, however I see there's one in Indiana. Also the remnants of a jackknife and scrap copper wire. Good luck!!

Been cleaning up as of late. Got a nice sterling pendant of a woman with flowing hair. Weighs about 2 oz., then another Ford 1933 V-8 token, another Pillsbury 5 cent token, more wheat's-- 1917-D, 1919,1929, 1916. Clads been good with the concerts outdoors too. Did a bottle dig yesterday and came away with 3 nice milk quarts Arctic (with the funny neck) a Sprague's, and a Hubner's of Gladwin MI all embossed. Lots of copper scrap, cobalt, and just barely got into this one. Cant wait to go back.

Man, you got to post some pics of your finds. You're killin' me.

I know, I just don't have the knowledge and have to figure it out. Yesterday I got a sterling fork, and some copper scrap. Then I hit a loud tone dug up what I thought was part of a can. It was the base from a candle holder and said STERLING on the bottom.Did some digging to at friends dump, pulled some beautiful quart milks, cobalt, and scrap. Heading back out detecting in a bit (we got big rain yesterday), then doing the dump dig again tomorrow. Keep posting your finds! glad to know more folks are out. Good luck.

Seems like some nice finds lately, keep it up! I used to keep a 1933 ford fob on my keychain, they are cool pieces. I went up a storm sewer laid in 1960 (educated guess based on grease-pencil dates still visible on the concrete conduit) and chipped out a 1954 D dime from the joint space between 2 pipe sections, along with a few toasty wheats and a handful of copper memorials. Nothing fancy but fun nonetheless. HH everybody!

Whatever it takes Plumb!!. I may go out for a while this afternoon. Yesterday was kind of a bust, 2 pennies and a lot of scrap aluminum, and part of an old cast aluminum tractor. I only found about 2/3rds of it. Going to dig some more in the dump this week too. Good luck. Also Sandchip gets a chance he may be able to post some of the pics I sent him of finds.
