July 15, 2020 - Bryn Mawr Bus Stop
July 18, 2020 - Ste. Elizabeth
Yup.... just had to get out there again and get a fix... at metal detecting of course.
Went
out
on
foot
to
the
bus
stop
just
around
the
corner.
Here's
a
look
at
what
I
dug
up in about 45 minutes.
1 nickel. ( 2015)1 US penny and 5 Canadian pennies, the oldest being 1963.
There
was
also
a
button/pin
but
the
writing
is
almost
impossible
to
read.
Too
old.
It's
made
of
metal
with
a
good
solid
brooch
style
pin
on
the
back.
The
script
has
the
same
flair
as
the
Coca
Cola
sign
but
it's
not
Coke...
in
2
lines,
part
of
it
looks
like
"Wes"
???
Days
later,
using
a
high
power
magnifier
I
figured
it
out.The
button
says:
Good Vibes
I'm
starting
to
think
that
drink
can
pull
tabs
must
just
pollute
the
planet.
I
find
these
everywhere. Also found parts of a broken Vape. We enter the modern age.
All this is a lead up to this coming Saturday.
My
brother
Michael
and
I
are
going
to
the
Ste.
Elizabeth
area.
Abandoned
homes
and an old town site. Hope the weather permits.
Hello all... another successful day of metal detecting.
Just shy of 6 hours’ worth: 8:00 to 14:00.
Met up with my brother Michel in Ste. Elizabeth, now a ghost town east of Morris, Mb.
This was an entirely different experience at metal detecting in many regards.
The
abandoned
house
shown
was
our
first
stop.
Our
first
solid
hit
with
the
detector
was about 3 feet away from the front porch off what would have been a sidewalk.
But....
super
tall
grass
everywhere.
We
look
down
and
what
do
we
see....
shovel
marks in the ground.
Yes, someone had been there before us.
The
2"
x
2"
iron
piece
was
firmly
anchored
in.
It's
still
there.
We
found
dig
marks
and
holes
all
over
town.
Searching
and
digging
in
tall
grass
was
another
challenge
altogether. Not easy.
We
moved
on
to
the
shoulder
area
of
the
road
way
through
town
and
to
areas
where
the grass was short. Again, more older dig holes.
For all that, we did find one coin, a coin. A 1976 dime. Woo hoo... We're rich.
Of
interest
was
a
numbered
band.
Either
for
a
bird
or
a
small
mammal.
If
anyone
wants to do research, the numbers are: M A F 52636.
The
small
clock
spring
might
come
in
handy
too.
There
must
have
been
a
car
garage
at one spot, we picked up automotive parts and wires.
Not
shown
is
the
pile
of
shredded
aluminum
cans
that
the
local
lawn
mower
ran
over.
But hey... no pull tabs. Not a one!
The
big
bubbly
looking
piece
of
copper
or
aluminum
was
found
next
to
a
tree.
It
looks
like
slag
but
it's
almost
too
big
and
smooth.
Last
was
the
ashtray
with
the
leaf
design
on its rim. Too bad it's broken.
At the end of our day, midafternoon, we were sort of asked or told to leave.
It
wasn't
a
ghost,
he
looked
pretty
real.
I
guess
he
didn't
like
people
making
holes
around town.
My
first
and
last
misadventure
for
not
having
gotten
a
land
owner’s
permission.
Lesson learnt. But who do you ask in a ghost town?
Quite the day.... quite the adventure.
Lots of fun.
