Yesterday I alluded to today’s schedule being another good turn, and that was this — a local historical society contacted me recently about detecting a property of theirs to look for a specific artefact, and a specific class of artefacts (I alluded to this a few weeks ago).<\/p>\n

I’m of course gonna be vague, cause any detectorists who read this will be on it like flies on, well, you know, if I give details, but today was the day I finally met up with these people at their property.<\/p>\n

I did not find the specific artefact.\u00a0 In fact, after reading the site, and my research, I suggested that it was unlikely that such would be found.\u00a0 But the other class of artefacts was an outside possibility, so I spent a good three hours kicking around the property.\u00a0 I did not find anything in that class of artefacts either, but, I did find something in the class<\/em> of the original specific artefact!\u00a0 Are you kidding me? I wonder if that even makes sense?\u00a0 I dunno, and it was totally unexpected, but I am totally stoked, and hope the historical folks like it.\u00a0 (Maybe someday I’ll write up the details — too bad about all the ‘holes out there who would jump the site prevent a writeup at this time).<\/p>\n

I also found a handful of coins on the property, none more than an inch deep – a 1918 merc in very nice condition, a pair of indians (1905 and 1907), and three wheaties, the newest a 1920.\u00a0 I don’t know if they will want these or not, but of course I’ll offer them.\u00a0 Outside the merc, they are pretty abused, tho the one IH is at least recognizable.<\/p>\n
