Yesterday our group went out to an old campsite to do some metal detecting. The site is host to numerous primitive campsites along with a few cabins and a lodge....

This property was used as a sort of "prehistoric Oceans of Fun". At the time there weren't any water parks but there were some inventive people who knew that people would gather around a good clean watering hole for a summer cool down. A small creek had been dammed up to create a swimming hole that was over 26' deep at one time. At one time, for quite a long period apparently, this was used as a Girl Scout camp before being sold to a private individual. We detected around the cabin and the swimming hole for nearly 4 hours and it turned out some very cool finds.

1865 2-Cent Piece

Immediately upon starting the metal detecting hunt, Scrap Iron found an 1865 2-cent piece! A first for him and the group. He found it while I was still putting my new Minelab Safari metal detector together. It seems Scrap Iron had the best day of the group (as far as we know at this point). He found two more silver dimes and some Wheat Pennies.

1898 Netherlands 2 1/2 Cent Piece

1914 Netherlands 10-Cent Piece

Kevin did very well also. He found two very unique coins from the Netherlands only feet from each other. The first was a 1914 10-cent piece from the Netherlands, the next was a 1898 2 1/2 - cent piece from the Netherlands. What made these two finds so interesting is that they were clearly dropped in the early 1900's in the middle of Kansas! There is hardly anything here in Kansas worth traveling that far for nowadays let alone in the early 1900's. Yet, there they were. How they got here is anyone's guess.

Late 1800's Two Piece Buckle WIth Anchor and Life Raft

Tyler did really well too. He found quite a bit of clad and some really old (what we assume to be) ladies' hair pins. He found this belt buckle that has an anchor and a life saving raft on it. It is a two part buckle which indicates it is pretty old. We weren't certain of the age but it was in really good condition. After having sent an image to a buckle expert he told us that this is certainly from the late 1800's. Most likely it was a buckle that people wore as an accoutrement to a swimming outfit. He said they are probably not extremely valuable but very unique. He said he has only seen a couple before but they were nowhere near as good of a condition as Tyler's. His still had a good solid silver plating on it. The other's he had seen were completely tarnished. We are happy to have it in our collection!


My best find of the day. 1944 Mercury Dime.
Smashed Penny From The Duquesne Incline in Pittsburg, PA

My finds (Turp) were probably the least impressive...why do I always find myself saying that? Probably because someone has to spend they entire hunt videoing everyone else's finds, right? Anyway, my prominent find was a 1944 Mercury Dime. Another intersting find was a smashed penny vrom The Duquesne Incline, an old wooden cable car in Pittsburg, PA. The car serves as access to a viewing platform that overlooks the City. It was opened in 1877. The penny is clearly solid copper. I cannot find a date so, who knows how old it could be. Other than a couple Wheat Pennies, that was it. I was pleased though. I had gone detecting with a metal detector that was totally foreign to me and found silver the first day! In my opinion, any day you find silver is a good day metal detecting.

There were a couple other things that were really neat that we show at the end of the video.
