Cool Morning but the day brought some neat finds!

The morning started out overcast and cool and looked as if the skies were threatening to rain. We had slept in, it was almost 9am and I got up and emailed Steve & Nadine to see if they were up and ready to go detecting. The plan was to detect this morning as Steve & Nadine had a race to watch on TV. I never received a reply, but Bob received a phone call. We called my mom and once we had everyone's Timmies orders we headed out to pick up coffees and donuts and meet up at Steve & Nadine's house.

Steve had gained permission to detect on another piece of property close to where he and Nadine live. There use to be an older house on the property we were told and then this one was built. The age of this house was approx. 100 years old. Unfortunately a few months back this house had a fire so no one is living there now (bad for them, but good for us).

We arrived at Steve's a little after 10am, my mom was there, but Nadine was no where in sight. She apparently had left early that morning to go buy some items and deliver them to her brother who was meeting her half way from his house. She would be by later.

As I said, it was a cool morning, so we piled into Mom's van and had a nice chat while we drank our morning coffees and ate donuts "Breakfast of Champions".

Bob needed to use the facilities at Steve's and Steve, Mom and I walked over to the house and walked around to see what we had and where good detecting locations were.

I was really hoping to find an 1800 coin since we had found quite a few of them at Steve & Nadine's house last year which is basically across the street from this place.

Bob showed up shortly after and Mom suggested we try an old sidewalk near the house. She went to help Steve dig while Bob and I started our search. We found a penny (not old) and a nickle and then basically nothing but garbage. We kept checking in with Mom and Steve, same thing, nothing but garbage. We rounded the front of the house

We found nothing but garage. We continued around the side, still nothing. Down and up a hill, near a fire pit, garbage garbage garbage. Nadine showed up and started to hunt with us.

Steve decided to head for home, he needed to get a lawnmower going and get ready to see his race. Nadine and Mom stayed on to detect together and Bob and I rounded the house yet again, this time we decided to detect near an old dog house. Here's what we found!

Three bells & one weird piece of metal



Two dog tags, one dated 1941 Louth 63 & another Town of Lincoln 1975 819



A funky button, on the back is says Browning King Co. We think the design on the front is three letters DSC or maybe DSG ?
(Just looked up the company info: BROWNING KING & CO 1860-1934)



Total of $2.43 (including the nickle & penny we found earlier)




When Mom and Steve were detecting together, they found this under a tree (along with metal they dug up)

All in all it was a great day! We're all pooped from detecing from aprox. 10 am until 3:00pm.

Just settling in now to order pizza and watch some ghost hunting shows! Until next time! Ta ta! Thanks for reading!!! :o)
