Hello!
New member from Oklahoma, close to the Sequoyah State Park in Hulbert.
I've been detecting off and on for quite a while, but when my husband recently asked to use the detector to find a missing bolt in the garden, I just picked it back up again, and now I can't stop digging.
I've been a fan of digging in the dirt since I was a child, but during this Covid-19 stay-at-home situation, I've been out of work, with more free time.
We live on ten acres that has belonged to many over the years. It is evident there were once many horses here, and perhaps a few shade tree mechanics. I've found countless horseshoes, buckles, and other horse-related matter. Always a fun find, though we don't have horses of our own.
There is, according to electric maps, an old easement that runs through our back property, but nothing exists. Electricity was run up the hill behind our home, but where it went, we have yet to find. We are hopeful there was once a homestead, but I'm working my way through it with a high-wheeled trimmer and a pair of loppers.
Plenty of garden tools, glass, pottery crock pieces, pieces to a wood-burning stove, and for some reason, a motherlode of electrical connectors or fuses, a hatchet, a 1973 license plate from Arizona.
As of late, I've been finding fired shell casings from the late 1800s and a great deal of nails in all sizes.
I've been using a cheap old detector I bought more than twenty years ago from Fingerhut Magazine, of all things, and it still works just fine. Yesterday, my son gave me a brand new detector and pinpointer.
I cannot say enough about how happy I am, and what a difference it has made in my finds. While my Bounty Hunter found things, the AT Pro says "Keep digging, there is more here." Call me Donna Fargo, because I'm singing "I'm the happiest girl, in the whole U.S.A."
