I ’ve been getting back into doing a little metallic element detecting lately as it ’s not really garden season right now ; thus far I ’ve hit one old Cracker family three time without much luck .

You might have get a line my absurd TV on the theme a few week ago :

I ca n’t say I ’ve really found anything amazing yet , though the Woodmen of the World brotherlike order badge in the video was pretty straight .

I think the thickening was from a lantern

This last weekend I did some looking around for a few hour without a lot of luck . I did find some historical oddity , though , and 4 mod pennies .

flock and lots of pull - tab and junk .

I know a duet of you who read me regularly are metal demodulator pros . If you’re able to get in tactile sensation via e - chain mail and have me know a estimable model I can advance to , I ’d really treasure it .

I was retrieve of gettingthe Teknetics T2as an rising slope .

I currently have two entry - level Bounty Hunter detectors and both of them really get hung up on all the tripe , foil , etc . , making finding any just stuff a crack in the shadow .

My main situation has been a ally ’s homestead .   She owns a few acre   where multiple old Cracker house used to stand along with a general storage . I found the WOW badge there and last time I was out I also name   a 1921 wheat centime , my first coin on the web site .

The 2nd post I just rack up was a church dating back to before the War of Northern Aggression .

That ’s where I found the pump organ reed plates in the illustration . That ’s a front and back view .

I could n’t figure out what they were at first , then I remembered what the inside of a harmonica wait like and thought , “ hey – they ’ve get to be some sort of alloy John Reed ! ”

Yep . A little more seek on Google pointed me in the ripe focusing .

Metal detective work is a fun hobby but decidedly time ingest . I probably have more hazard of winning the Lottery than detect anything really astonishing but it gets me outside on the weekends when the garden are sitting empty and sad .
