    Newby Excalibur II Guy

    1st outing with this brand new detector. I LOVE IT! Found 3 cool rings and a lot of change with very little trash. I have an ETrac and have been posting there for a while (not a Newby to detecting). Anyways, I was wading next to a seawall and found a 14K men's wedding band, a 10K women's dolphin...

    Button Update

    Said I would repost this if it turned out pretty cool. It turned out to not be a military button but an 1820's Andrew Jackson presidential campaign button. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Not sure if I want to try and clean it any more. Good luck at your sites! Kenny

    Early American Eagle Button

    Hi everyone, I'm only able to get out 1 or 2 times a month now. For my last 2 hunts at that circa 1820's Arcadian house I found in pics 1 and 2 an early military eagle button. I'm cleaning it later so if it looks really cool I'll repost it. The 3rd and 4th pics are of a silver "Army and Navy...

    Circa 1860's Trunk Lock

    I went back to the old Arcadian the other day. I decided to test myself in the most trashy irony area on the property. I went extremely slow, very low, left, right and diagonal w/ a 6x8 SEF coil. In about 3 1/2 hrs I covered a portion of a somewhat 20x12 section of the front yard. From the way...

    184 Year Old Penny

    I finally got about a 2 1/2 hunt in after not hunting for what seemed forever. Went back to that 1820's Arcadian house of course (been hunting it for 10+ years). I worked a bunch of iffy signals and got lucky. 1st and 2nd pics show an 1828 one cent (in somewhat decent shape for where I'm at)...

    My 1st Gold Ring w/ Diamonds

    My uncle lost his 1949 AAA baseball championship ring he earned after hitting a grand slam against the Braves in Memphis. He lost the ring 12 years ago in his back yard. The 86 year old Iwo Jima survivor (wounded twice on that island) didn't ask me to look for it. I kinda insisted I give it a...

    110 Year Old Quarter

    Back at the old 1820's circa house that I can't ever seem to leave and for good reason, it keeps giving. First pics shows 2 silver quarters I unexpectedly dug up. The 1902 (my first ever Barber quarter) and 1943 quarters made my day! Thought I personally hunted this place out over the past...

    GREAT start for the year!!!

    Returned to the circa 1820's house that I've personally hunted out over the past 11 years. Over the years I've had trouble with a certain lg. area of the side yard (an unbelievable amout of crazy continuous chatter and falsing - if I wanted a challange and a headache, I hunted that portion of...

    Still Pulling Out Silver

    Had another fun day. Ist pic shows a silver cross and a miraculous conception Charm. Obviously pulled them out of the same hole and was surprised with a 10-34 reading. I attempted to get the makers mark in pic 2. It shows a somewhat oval indent with a Male's head with short curly hair facing...

    (2) 159 Year Old Pennies

    Had some more fun at that 1820's Arcadian (I've only had a couple of reasons to hunt elsewhere over the last 10 years). The 1st photo shows the 1st 1852 penny I dug up (in very bad shape). Thought I was digging up a silver quarter (solid 12-47). The second photo shows the second 1852 penny (in...

    99 Year Old Dime

    Went back out to that circa 1820's house last night and found another old dime. It's a 1902 barber dime from Philadelphia. Just like the last one, I found this in an area I searched many times. It read 12-44 on the ETrac and was face up approximately 4 inches down. Another EASY one I missed...

    157 Year Old Dime

    Some pictures of the last few hunts at that circa 1820's house. I seem to always find pull tabs in the areas where I thought were personally cleared out by me. This always motivates me because if I missed a pull tab there's a good chance I missed something good also. Sure enough, in an area I've...

    Found Near an 1820's Acadian

    It's old, it's silver and doesn't have a makers mark. Any idea what it is?

    Neat Find at the 1820's Acadian

    Found this neat little silver "whatz it" and a silver cross yesterday. The "whatz it" looks like a book (bible?) and appears to be made out of maybe coin silver (no makers mark). My thought is that it slips over a flat button but I'm probably wrong. Also found the silver cross under an old...

    Under the old Acadian

    Got access to underneath the circa 1820 residence yesterday. What a workout walking on your elbows. Didn't cover much but got a few finds. Still need to adjust my E-TRAC to those conditions (used my 6X8 SEF coil). Definitely doing it again. First pic shows what I believe is a portion of a butt...
