Metal Detecting in Old Cotton Mill Village

Got permission to detect 4 houses in Dwight's Mill Village in Gadsden, AL.  Old Cotton Mill Village.  Spent 5 hours and only made it through one backyard.  Gonna post my finds!  Found tons of old rusted metal, one spoon, a drawer pull, clad (for some reason, NO old coins???) and my biggest find...a gold coin Mexican Bracelet.  All of the coins say Estados Unidos Mexicana and each coin has a different date on it.  The oldest one is from 1952.  When I first uncovered it, I thought I had found a cache of gold coins....about peed my pants!!!!  Check out my pics and someone tell me about the military brass coat button if you have info.  I can't seem to find it online.  I had a GREAT day!!!!  :)

  • Nice Finds!!!
  • Just posted two more pics from the items I dug from another house in Dwight's Mill Village.  Found my first glass marble!  And another Merc in perfect condition.  One wheatie.  And a lot of deep, rusty 'stuff'.  It was freezing but I just kept swinging and digging.  I love it!!

  • What an awesome day you had!
