    Button ID Help!

    I need help ID'ing this button. I found it this weekend at a private residence and will be giving it to the owner. I just want to give them a little write-up to go along with the button. The eagle button is a Horstmann. I was able to ID a few letters on the back and make that conclusion. I...

    My silver fix satisfied today

    Went out to a few new places today with the great weather here in NC today. What a great day even if I didn't find anything. But that was not the case. The last 30 minutes of the hunt I unearth the 1839-O seated dime with the little bonus stuck to it. That is a miracle first for me. The...

    ID Help- 1828? & some finds this afternoon

    Had great weather on this afternoons 4 hour hunt. The ground is like digging in butter with the recent rains. Can't ask for any better. The finds include twenty wheats from the '20s to the '50s. I started getting a little disappointed digging so many wheats without a silver. Then I found...

    CW Button?

    I was looking through my old finds a few days ago and came across this North Carolina button. The next day I did a quick search and realized that this button might be real. This shows how much this New Yorker is into civil war relics. I guess I will gain a greater appreciation with time. I...

    Strange Mix of Coins

    Had an enjoyable day detecting for about 4 hours today. The lot I was searching is the most iron infested I have ever searched. I think an old house burned down many years ago. It is filled with nails. Each swing has between 4 and 6 iron targets. I am lucky to hear the threshold at all. I...

    Nice Half

    Went to my favorite old hunted out park today. I have covered this place pretty well and am usually lucky to come home with a few wheats. I noticed that someone had cleared an overgrown area along a creek. It was virgin soil in an area about 8' x 20'. First pulled a 1925 buffalo and then a...

    Need bigger shovel

    Had a nice afternoon hunt today at an old park. I almost wore a blister on my palm digging these today with my lesche. I have been digging a lot of deep targets lately. I measured the two mercs at 7" and the 1897 barber was 9.5-10" deep in dirt/rocks/clay. Thinking about buying something...

    Tonights Silver Haul

    I bought my Explorer in May. Before it I had a Whites M6 that I bought in February to see if I would enjoy the hobby. I have been away from detecting since my Whites 2DB in the 80's. I usually get out once or twice a week. The past several weeks I think everything now clicks with me and the...

    Explorer At The Beach

    I took my Explorer to the beach with the new 11" coil (check my post on the beach forum). I was very impressed with the performance. The depth is absurd. I was digging deep holes with my scoop to recover coins. Scoop, check, scoop again, check again, scoop yet again, check. If the depth on...

    VA Beach- Metal Detector Capital?

    Just returned home from a vacation in Virginia Beach. This was my second time this year. The first time was the Memorial day holiday. Just want to make some observations. This beach must be the heaviest hunted 3 mile stretch of beach on the planet. But it does get replenished very...

    My Oldest Coin to date

    This is a 1829 Capped Bust Dime from a site that was developed in 1926. Old coins coming from later developed sites is not that uncommon. The uncommon part is that the town was established in 1808. In 1829 it only had about 400 residents. So, I think I got pretty lucky to dig this up...
