Old Pocketwatch

Found an old pocketwatch at the 1920's North Olmsted Middle School. It was deep. Probably gold plated. I tried getting some of the crusty stuff off but it's on there good.

Love Dad

Another quick hunt down in the metroparks. This time around Lakewood. Found a nice pocket knife with the engraving "Paul '93". The Cedar Point Arcade Token was found with a couple dimes, one of which was dated 1988.

On the back of the knife was "Love, Dad". Kind of a sad find since you know someone probably valued that knife a lot more than me.

Easter egg dime cache

Nate and I met up with Fern. Nate met him through the Friends Church and has been detecting for some time. We didn't have a lot of time so we went just went to the metroparks. I was wandering around a hill and went into the brush. Under a tree I found a broken easter egg with 47 dimes scattered on the surface. That was a fun find!

Also found a cheap ring (probably just silver plated) an old hot wheel and a pendant.

A Random Indian Head

The day was beautiful and I just wanted to be outside for an hour. I went to the metroparks (the old Ruple homesite). Went were all the bottle caps were and got a good penny type signal. Dug up this 1892 Indian Head. It wasn't even that deep. A lot of the bottle caps are deeper.

Last of the Iceberg?

Nate and I went out to the place we code named "Iceberg". Didn't find anything special. Just a bunch of wheat pennies (around 20).

1923 Walker

Today I just needed to go out and enjoy the weather for an hour. Going down to the metroparks seemed like a nice relaxing place to go. I didn't care if I was going to find anything but ended up finding a nice coin about 6 inches down in the middle of a field.

Old beatup car at the Twinsburg foundation

I took a trip out to the Twinsburg foundation after work on a Friday. Hunted about an hour. Didn't find much. The old car is pretty cool. Too bad it's in such bad shape.
