My work shut down for the day because of weather, Got about 6" of snow there yesterday. We only got a dusting with a little ice so I got tired of sitting at the house and went to the site of and old church that was torn down about six years ago. Found these goodies along with 2 aluminum bottle caps 7 pieces of some sort of aluminum sheeting about 3" square and pulled 10 or so feet of Romex wire, gonna strip that and take it to the recyclers for a little $ towards a new pin pointer ;) . Managed to find a small trash pile about 20 or so yards into the woods and pulled a couple of nice bottles out of it along with a "Ball" zinc lid.

Here is the lid along with MY first Bust Dime and Flying Eagle cent !! :cool: A 1957D wheatie and three Lincoln memorial cents.

Oh lucky you. You got to detect. Nice couple of finds you have there. I would definitely go back to that place. Day off for weather here too, but completely iced over. Talk about stir crazy.

Very nice dime and Eagle cent.

There is no snow here, but we do not have any sites old enough for those kind of finds!

Nice finds Tim, and you reminded me that I saw a couple hundred feet of stranded copper that was apparently used as a livestock fence on my last trip. I needed bolt cutters and meant to go back but forgot.
