    his first find of the day, a 1943

    War Nickel, as the cover shot

    for this fall edition.

    His dad, a sergeant with

    the US Army is currently

    serving in Afghanistan. You

    can read more about their

    hunting experience inside.

    First of all thanks to all those diehardswho once again supported us byturning up for another Corfe hunt,

    ome from half way round the world as inAustralia, America & Canada, plus two fromNorway and guys from Sweden, Polandand our regulars from Holland. Totallyamazing support once again.

    Thanks also to Des and Finbarr fromMinelab Ireland for coming once againand supporting the never ending rafflewith prizes, also a big thank you to theoan Allen crew for coming through andupplying us with an X-terra to raffle off ashe main prize.

    Anyone can come on theseMinelabowners (MLO) forum get-togetherswe cant call them rallies anymore) like

    Corfe and share the camaraderie.Youll have the best chance of finding

    great finds like were once again made thisyear. In order to attend, you need to be apaid up as a PLATINUM MEMBER.

    Its not that much, only if youre not,hats your problem for not supporting this

    great forum.

    Corfe 2011 Recap

    By Tony Hunt

    Wimborne, Dorset, UK

    The number of times I have heard thirdhand that Corfe is washed out and emptybecause we have been going there for tenyears on the same land and its not worthgoing any more, I say Poppycock!

    I think we had more hammered foundthis year than ever before plus the twogold coins.

    After 10 years, the area still gives up some great finds!

    There were quite a few Roman bronzesound including some really nice ones but

    not as many as other years because peopledidnt detect the right fields because ofconditions mainly. There were the usualew Roman brooches also.

    I didnt hear of any Celtic bronze or silver

    staters this year because the fields thatusually hold them either had long grass orstubble making things difficult.

    The four FLO who came on the Saturdayhis year were kept really busy most of the

    day recording.

    I dont think we need to keep having thbig raffles and BBQs even though peopleenjoy them, plus its costing Gary a lot ofmoney to keep coming over from Norwaywith all his equipment to help that side ofthings go with a bang. He could travel lighand fly over for a lot less and not be out of

    pocket each year. I just think we need tokeep things simple in future.Another problem we have is that peopl

    are turning to camping for stay at homeholidays, which is making the camp siteat Norden Farms very busy and difficultto fit us in in a group all together early inSeptember.

    We might have to go for a slightly later

    date in the month so that the campsiteisnt so busy, which would make holdingthe evening entertainments that muchmore difficult to dodge weather etc.The week away this year worked reallywell for a lot of us, we detected most daysor chilled or went out doing the touristything.

    My idea for a get together another year

    would be simply to pay for however manydays camping we are able to do to the farmand then pay a set fee for the detecting ofthe normal 10 a day or 40 for the wholeweek. This would still be shared betweenthe landowners and the MLO forum whichwould pay for some of the server bills.

    Who knows we might even get to

    organize something like this in other partsof the country on other members land. Amain criteria for this would be a campsitewith toilets and showers nearby.

    Check out and join MLO,http://www.minelabowners.com

    Thanks once again to all those whocame and made the event special againhis year. Whether we run it again next yearn the same format remains to be seen.would personally like to see it run purely

    as a social, to meet up with old and newriends plus detecting get together for the

    diehards who help to support the forum

    and keep it going.

    Serving in Afghanistan

    ve been serving in the army for the past

    6 years so I always like to take advantageof the excellent opportunities that

    ravelling from place to place can offer.

    I am currently deployed to Afghanistan

    and, unfortunately, not getting too much

    ime for treasure hunting. Before that my

    amily was living in Southern California

    which gave my son, Zachary (6), and I the

    chance to explore the Mojave Desert in

    search of forgotten places.

    These pictures are from one of our

    metal detecting trips to an abandoned

    silver mining site in the desert. Zachary

    s showing off one of his first finds of the

    day, a 1943 War Nickel, which he was very

    proud of. The other picture is some of our

    better finds while living in California. The

    amily is currently living in Germany andZachary is probably busy digging up Euros

    n the backyard. Good luck buddy and

    save some for me!

    My first bust dime! From our 9/06 hunt.

    I cleaned the large cent with a dab of

    Wrights brass polish, a soft tooth bruss an

    a soft shoe polishing cloth. Im real happy

    with it. It brought out the details and didn

    My first official coin shooting hunt yields 3 V nickels. I usually lean towards Civil War relic

    hunting, but since the weather,weeds and bugs have been so bad I got the coin shootingbug. I found a turn of the century home and got to digging. My very first find was the

    905 V nickel (that I marred with my lesche). It was followed by 5 wheat cents (the

    earliest was 1910) and 2 more V nickels (1896 and 1899). I really enjoyed digging the old

    coins. Theres hundreds more of those old houses on the same road. Ill be back. H.H.

    Two days ago a friendand I were searching a

    We found nothing of

    any interest.

    Today I was on the

    beach with the wife for

    some Easter fresh air. Itwas quite a warm day,

    but the cold onshore

    wind coming from the

    Baltic sea forced us to

    go inland.

    We drove past the

    st day: Tried a different beach, no luck

    on sand. But up on hillside of beach,a 1936 Washington quarter, 1935

    mercury dime, and 4 wheaties.

    2nd day: While detecting parallel to

    water line, got a weak nickel signal.

    Turned out to be an 18k thin gold chain

    with a silver crucifix and a 14k gold

    hollow) Jesus crucifix. The 18x15 coilocked on to the silver crucifix. I later air

    ested the gold crucifix and chain and

    discovered the importance of the noise

    cancel number when air testing small

    gold. Noise cancel #10 more sensitive

    o small low conductive gold than #2.

    3rd day: Switched to noise cancel#10. Checked the water line and only

    ound light weight trash. Checked the

    high tide area up on the beach. Found

    a deep green nickel. Did a tight W

    pattern in the area around the deep

    nickel. Found a 14k gold ring, some shallow coins, and a deep buffalo nickel.

    **4th day: Beach changed

    over night. At the water

    line, sand was piled up,creating a ridge near the

    base of the beach slope. On

    the beach side of the ridge

    is a long ripple trough that

    wasnt there the day before

    Above the ripple trough

    is a smooth, gentle slope.

    Checked the ridge first, but

    light stuff only. Did a tight

    W pattern from the ridge

    through the ripple trough,

    up to several meters above

    he trough. Got a penny signal above the ripple line, it was an old style silver ring with a

    pearl. Continued along the beach and got a very low conductive signal, a solid 11-01. A

    very thin 14k white gold ring with a stone. Continued along the beach and got another

    4k gold ring with 3 stones. With the tide coming in, I paralleled the water line back to

    where I found the silver ring and got another very low conductive signal, 12-02. A 14kgold ring with a small stone.

    This sanded-in ripple trough produced 1 old pearl silver ring and 3 light weight gold

    ings with stones. This is the 2nd time I ever found 3 gold rings in one day, the first time

    was this year in May during the maximum spring tides (a tidal difference of 10 ft).

    This fork was deeply imbedded in a clayish type mud. Had a upper 30 lower 40

    conductivity, and had a blackish metal around the perimeter before cleaning. The

    blackish metal goes through the center of the fork. The outer metal is copperish-bronzish

    Recently I was watching a show

    called the Haunted collector,

    a new series on the Sy-fy

    channel about spirits attaching

    themselves to objects.

    I wont go into a lot of detail but in

    this particular episode, they had dug up

    a bullet that the previous owners had

    found and reburied after the husband

    had a nightmare that a soldier was

    standing over him biting on the bullet.When the guy from the show took it

    to an expert he verified it was a civil war

    3 ring bullet and that it appeared to have

    bite marks in it. As many of you know it

    was common when a soldier was being

    operated on in the field he would bite on

    a bullet to help with the pain.

    It was an interesting show and it reallytook me back to an incident I have had

    and one a good friend shared with me.

    The summer of 2010, my hunting

    buddy Bob and I had found a two very

    old stone foundations in a patch of

    woods we had permission for but it was

    just too grown up to hunt.

    The little bit of hunting we did get indid produce a couple flat buttons though

    The fall of 2010 passed where we spent

    most of our time in fields and before Bob

    and I knew it, fall had passed and we had

    not been back.

    Spring of 2011 came around and this

    spot was on the top of our list, I knew it

    would be tough hunting because of all

    the brush but it had also become a dump

    By Mike Haer

  • 8/14/2019 Relic Hunter Magazine sept-oct2011

    35/56Relic Hunter September - October, 2011 3

    site from probably the 1920s through the

    950s.

    Bob and I were finding old cans and

    ons of miscellaneous junk close to the

    oundations from people dumping there

    but as we started hunting out about

    wenty yards from the site a few relics

    started to emerge, nothing special but itwas something.

    We were out away from the junk so I

    was now digging every signal hoping for

    any kind of cool relic when I got a hit that

    was about six inches.. Promising. I dug up a

    very odd button what appears to be in the

    shape of cannon.

    As I held it, I felt this great energy andeelings of excitement, adventure sweep

    over me and in my mind, flashed a boy

    about thirteen running through a prairie

    field, up over a hill, like he was trying to

    catch up to something.

    Am I crazy? Maybe, but not certified! I

    have dug many coins and relics up over

    he years and nothing like this had everhappened before or since. I have now had

    he button in my possession for several

    months and I often find myself pulling it

    out of the box I keep it in and holding it.

    For some reason, I find myself very drawn

    o it and although not my best relic it is my

    avorite.

    Last year, I found myself in north east

    Ohio several times, metal detecting with

    my good friend Tim or better known on the

    orums as deepbeeps.

    Tim is surrounded by wineries and this

    evening we decided to have a few glasses

    after the hunt. At one point the discussion

    urned to ghosts and we passed around

    stories sitting on the back patio.

    Tim asked me if I had seen his recent

    video where he had found the WWI button

    and when I replied I had, he went on to

    explain; Tim said he had taken the days

    finds into the house and had cleaned them

    off in the sink. He started to video his finds

    to later add to Youtube when he realized it

    wasnt bright enough so he started walkin

    towards the kitchen to the light above thestove.

    Tim looked up and directly in front of

    the stove for a split second he saw a man

    in what appeared to be a WWI uniform and

    in the original video he is talking about his

    finds, looks up and sees the man in front

    of the stove and you can clearly tell Tim is

    shaken!Can objects hold energy? Is there even

    such a thing as ghosts? I can not answer

    these questions but I know what I have

    seen and felt and I know Tim well and

    absolutely believe his story.

    If there are such things as spirits it

    would make sense that they could still be

    attached to something that was importanto them when they were alive. It really

    makes my mind wonder.

    Did some boy melt his lead soldiers and

    make buttons shaped like cannons and

    run off through the field to catch up with

    his father to join him to battle the redcoats

    during the war of 1812?

    When I think of Tims button I imagine

    a soldier spending his last day with his

    sweetheart before he is shipped off to war

    only to meet an untimely death. I know

    both of these are a stretch but it certainly

    makes me wonder!

    If you have a similar story I would really

    like to hear about it! Please email me at

    This is the home of Dushee Shaw, built approximately around the

    year of 1804. This home was a major stopping point on the stage

    road, because of it unique halfway location between Fayettville

    NC and Raleigh NC.

    This home housed not only historic men from the American

    Revolution but also housed Confederate Soldiers in aiding as ahospital.

    In the upstairs attic portion of the home, soldiers names can

    still be found there carved into the rafters and walls.

    The home also served as a Tavern and Inn for nearly 100 years.

    It is our goal to preserve this home as beautiful and historic as

    it once was, the way that Dushee Shaw would have wanted itto be.

    We have plans uderway to make it into a museum as well as

    teach our younger generations the significance of this home

    and the rich history it has seen in years gone by.

    This is the oldest standing home in the county, and we will

    not loose it to nature. We plan to save the history of the Shaw

    Halfway House one board at a time.

    THE OLD PICKRobyn Walker

    Australia

    An early part of the Australian gold-rushbegan when gold was found along the

    Meroo Creek in 1851. Meroo Creek is about

    200kms (120 miles) west of Sydney and

    oday there is a small town nearby named

    Hargraves. The name honours William

    Hargraves who was credited with first

    finding gold in the state of New South

    Wales, a claim that is still disputed 160years later.

    These days people still prospect along

    he Meroo, not the least of whom is my

    ister Lyn who was camped there just a few

    weeks ago. On her previous visit she had

    ound a comfortable log to sit on whilst

    panning the creek.

    She went back to that spot only to find

    that her seat log had been moved by

    recent heavy rains. However it was still in agood spot to use as her seat.

    Looking about, Lyn spotted this old

    artefact. It was just laying there and must

    have been very recently uncovered by the

    shifting sands of time as it had not been

    noticed in earlier visits.

    The old pick had been rusting away in

    the river bank for goodness knows howlong, perhaps 150 years or even more. The

    rust grew, as rust does, and somehow

    glued the river rocks into itself making a

    fairly solid unit and a very collectible relic.

    The Chinese were very active on most

    Australian gold fields and some suggest

    that this pick is of Chinese origin as they

    apparently used shorter handles.Finding an old pick or shovel is always

    interesting, but fairly common on an old

    gold field as you would expect. However

    this one is quite unusual and I thought tha

    readers may like to see it. Here are views o

    either side.

    eally for driving around the city with your

    kids. Now let me qualify my lifetime of ex-

    ploring.

    I started going bush when I was 18

    using my panel van and I wasnt afraid to

    drive it through creeks and across rough

    gullies. Shortly afterwards, I bought my

    amily car, a Datsun 200B which I had for7 years. It was a workhorse. Because of its

    high rear axle, I found that it travelled well

    n the bush, clearing rocks and branches.

    ts power to weight ratio with its 2 litre en-

    gine allowed me to pull my working trailer

    (chocka block full) up and down all sorts o

    grades.

    Therefore, having finally bought my

    new 4WD, I went exploring in the Disaster

    Bay region of southeast NSW recently. I

    only had to travel 23 kilometers off road

    on tracks that any car can negotiate, but I

    found that my vehicle didnt drift on sandy

    or gravelly sections.

    Regardless of the new found security

    of the 4WD, my driving style still remains

    steady as she goes with forethought

    given to weather conditions and expecta-

    tions of holiday traffic.

    Disaster BayDisaster Bay is named because of its

    history of shipwrecks. At its headland, the

    Green Cape lighthouse has warned ships

    of impending danger since 1883. It is 29m

    high and 44m above sea level. At the time

    it was the second

    tallest light in New

    South Wales andwas the first cast

    concrete light-

    house. Its revolving

    lantern was fuelled

    by kerosene and

    mantle. It produced

    a light of 100,000

    candelas for a ra-dius of 34km. Re-

    gardless; ships hav

    foundered upon

    the rocks imme-

    diately below the

    lighthouse due to

    the absolute feroc-

    ity of the ocean. A

    comprehensive list is on display at the

    Eden Whale Museum showing all vessels

    hat have come to grief in the area. One ofhe vessels that came to grief there was the

    Ly-ee-moon.

    The sinking of the Ly-ee-moon is a som-

    ber tale.

    Green Cape Light House

    Built in 1859, she was considered to

    be the fastest ship of its time cruising

    at 17 knots during her sea trials. Its hull

    was steel and the ship was powered by

    coal fired boilers which drove her paddle

    wheels. It had a displacement of about

    000 tons. She also had three masts to

    utilize favourable winds. Built in England,

    he SS Ly-ee-moon served in the American

    Civil War. The ship actually sank twice: the

    first time in Hong Kong harbour where she

    was refloated and sailed back to England

    for a refit increasing her displacement to

    1200 tons; and the second time in 1877 inSydney Harbour. She was raised again and

    refitted for service, but the third incident

    wasnt lucky at all.

    In May 1886, en route from Melbourne

    to Sydney the ship lost its course and

    struck the Green Cape headland almost

    directly below the lighthouse.

    Of 86 people on board, 14 were saved.

    All 72 who perished were buried at the

    cape in a spot some 200 meters from the

    lighthouse car park. There is a single cross

    to signify the spot with rocks painted whit

    to represent headstones. There is a history

    board nearby describing what happened.

    This area is going to be a great place to

    search and I hope to do it one day

    Discoveriesin the news

    By Loni Ingraham,September 12, 2011

    A little boy finds a ring lost at least 14years ago, and a daughter now feels she isno longer alone.

    And some feel its all thanks to Irene.Something good came out of the

    hurricane, Mary Claire Mari said. This ishe rainbow.

    Mari has been babysitting the threechildren of Towson residents Francie andWill Ozonoff since the youngsters wereborn. She is also their aunt. They call herMoo.

    One of the three is Peter Ozonoff, 4, adigger and collector, she said.

    Mari, a Monkton resident, likes to tease

    her sister about Peter and his 9-year-oldbrother, Tommy, and 11-year-old sister,Lucy.

    You may have birthed them but I raisedem, she likes to say.

    In the common green behind his home,Peter uses his a shovel or his hands tounearth bottle caps, stones, acorns, slugsand earthworms or euwees as he has

    dubbed them, Mari said. Thats when hesnt catching and examining butterflies,piders, caterpillars and assorted flies.

    Peter, who attends Redeemer ParishDay School five days a week, calls them histreasures.

    The heavy rains from Hurricane Irenemuddied up the green, and since schoolswere closed on Tuesday, Sept. 6, Peter was

    digging around when something brightcaught his eye.

    It was a ring.Peter plucked it out of the mud and

    brought it inside to his father, who teachessocial studies at Franklin Middle School. Hmother works for Care First Blue Cross BlueShield.

    After washing it off, his fatherdiscovered it was a 10-carat gold ring witha black onyx stone. It was marked Johns

    Hopkins University, Class of 1948. It hada fraternity symbol and inside it werethe initials R.H. and a letter difficult todecipher.

    His father told him it might beworth a lot of money, but Peter, a littledisappointed it wasnt a bottle cap hecould add to his collection, just wentoutside and climbed a tree, according

    Hurricane Irene and a little boy, returnmissing ring to family of rightful owner.

    o Mari, who was put in charge of thenvestigation.

    The family would try to find the ringsowner if he were still alive, or at least return

    t to his family.Mari contacted Hopkins and found out

    he fraternity was Delta Upsilon which,unfortunately, left the campus in the early

    990s, according to Hopkins Greek Life andOrientation director Robert Turning, whosaid, They left for dwindling membershipand poor behavior.

    But his suggestion to contact the

    nternational office of the fraternity provedruitless because of what appeared to be a

    missing initial.Stephen Walsh of the JHU alumni office

    and Pat Conklin, senior associate directorof alumni relations, also tried to help.

    It was intriguing, Conklin said.Several people ended up looking at

    he photograph theyd been emailed,and poured over yearbooks looking forpossibilities.

    Once they had narrowed it down,Conklin visited the Ozonoffs with a 1948yearbook to see the ring just to make sure.Thats when she knew it belonged to aRichard Edmond Harman.

    Through Google, she found out he had

    died in 1988.But he still had a daughter living in thearea.

    When Pattie Harman McLane answeredhe telephone last Friday afternoon andound out her dads ring had been found,

    she began to cry,The ring was a sign, she said.It was a blessing. My parents are

    ogether now, and they want me to know

    Im not alone, she said.Her father didnt wear jewelry, she said,

    but he did wear his college ring.My father was the coolest, most

    awesome man, she said.He was the quintessential lacrosse

    player, she said.His lacrosse prowess didnt translate to

    the next generation.Poor Daddy had four girls, McLane

    said. As soon as my son Brian was 5 yearsold, my father took him over. OK, he toldhim, youre going to learn to play lacrosse.

    Brian did go on to play championshiplacrosse. When his grandfather died from abrain tumor, his grandmother gave him thJHU ring.

    I remember he cherished it, McLanesaid.

    She recalled the day that Brian, aboutage 20, came back from playing lacrosse othe green in tears.

    Ma, he told her, I lost Pops ring. It flewoff my finger.

    She has talked to Mari several timessince she learned that Peter found the ring

    Talk about coincidences. Mary Clairesfather was Fred Eisenbrandt, a memberof the National Lacrosse Hall of Famewho played for Duke, and were sure they

    played each other, she said, and we thinkthey had friends in common.She plans to meet with Peter this week

    to thank him, she said.Considering McLanes mother just died,

    the timing is unbelievable for this littleboy to find this ring, she said.

    I know mom and dad have hooked upand are looking out for me, McLane said.

    Theyre probably saying, Wow.
