There is not much to say other than this re-grading project has been amazing and unlike anything I have ever detected in the past. For the past couple of weeks there have been about 8 or 9 of us hitting this pretty hard and sometimes all at the same time. Here is a recap of the project so far for my finds. Each picture typically represents one day of hunting, with a couple of days with multiple visits. HH All!

I am so jealous. But, not about what you might think. It's that tiny brass lock in the 4th picture. That is all kinds of cool.
Congrats on all the great finds, but if I could grab anything, it would be the lock...crazy, I know.
 
Hey Milco, it was great detecting with you this past week. You definitely did amazing. I appreciate you leaving a little for the rest of us. It would be an awesome picture if we could put everyones finds in 1 picture. PJ
 
Congrats, wish I could find a site like that. What's up with the two bird wing pieces, and the feather. Are they related?
 
Two years back they stripped the topsoil in a park to put in wood chips and swings and stuff. Got about a dozen silvers. What fun. Love the Barbers!

PJ, great to meet you and chat this week as well! I hope to see you out there some more. Yes, that would be cool to get at least a group silver shot! Darren
 
Those kind of hunts come along only rarely. You and your friends really capitalized on a great opportunity. Loved the neat variety of cool finds you got there. So many Barbers and Mercs and a few trifecta days. A nice assortment of vintage marbles too. Nice work and thanks for sharing the story with those photos to drool over.
 
Wow, what a great series of hunts. Congrats on the vast amount of silver (I counted 42) I see in those pics!
Along with all the other relics, Injuns, V's, Buffs and what look like largies. And even at least one shield nickel.

And just curious: Does the Standing Liberty Quarter in pic #3 have a date? Can't quite tell from the pic.

Hope to see a follow up with dates and so forth. Great finds!

Thanks, great question! Not sure if there is a connection, the one is a small pendant and not sure on the larger one, will have to research that.
