As I become more and more frustrated with the level of junk in the yard (some of it may be cool though, you never know) With some help from the forums I've decided to try a sifter (the idea came from the forums, the frankensifter came from my head) to whittle away at some of the junk in the yard.
This area is going to be grass eventually, and there is not a better time to clean some of the trash out than right now.
Watch that video, I have shallow targets galore. Once I whittle them out some (via digging, or just maybe, sifting) I should have a better chance at the deeper targets.
Did a quick trip near the driveway just before dark. A 1946 nickel and a 1965 dime are pretty cool, but not cool enough.
Didn't have much time out there today. But I still managed to find a little. A Frigidaire handle, another shell, 39 cents (all modern) and a flatwrench. The flatwrench is pretty much the same color (or was the same color) as my International Harvester tractor. I wonder if the tractor had a toolkit at some point and this was included.
It was a fairly productive day today. The yard gave up the first wheatie, a 1952 D. I also found a good deal of modern change totaling up to $.56 , Another shell (which from the forums seems to be a 308 blank), a small junk key, and a weird copper pin.
Only had about an hour today. 2 more shells, 35 cents, and an official ring. Calling it junk is too kind, but it is at least a ring, no argument can be made there.
