This getting dark earlier business...

I'm not a fan! I had just a short time to hunt before the darkness descended yesterday.I went to another old park in Columbus to see if I could scare up another Indian head for my treasure chest and it actually ended up being quite a good hunt. I was disgusted to find sloppy holes from another detectorist... and most of the time they tore up the grass, left dirt laying all over and the target was STILL THERE! At least a half dozen times all I had to do was bend down and pick up the target off the surface.  

At least I didn't have to worry about that knucklehead finding any of the targets I was after. My first good hit was a 1925 wheat, and then a super nice 1923 Mercury dime. A few more wheats and cleaning up after knucklehead, I got a good silver signal and out pops a cute little antique sterling silver ring with a flower design. Next up was my Indian... crusty as all get out, but I was happy. Goal achieved.

The I got the most interesting find of the day, a little enamel pin with CAC and a fish on it. A good guess and little research upon getting home and it is a pin from the Columbus Anglers' Club dating to before 1917. In 1917 the organization changed their name to Central Ohio Anglers' and Hunters' Club.

    I'm Nick A. and I am a metal detector hobbyist in Central Ohio.  I have been metal detecting since 1990, and currently use the Minelab E-Trac detector.

    I am always happy to find silver coins (made before 1964) for my collection, as these are no longer in common circulation.
