    silver thimble

    Found this thimble where an old house once stood. it says "sterling" up inside it. I think the 7 is for the size but does anyone know what all the other engravings are for, especially the anchor below the 7? It sure is shiny. Also found 2 wheaties, 1911 and 195? with a 22 cal bullet hole in it...

    Return to Indian country

    Went back to the tobacco field again yesterday. Cliff found a real nice arrowhead and I found another coin. It was an 1865 Indian Head penny. Our kids also found some hide scrapers and some cats eye marbles. The penny was my oldest IH to date.

He found a 1910 wheat penny and a Rogers silver plated spoon with the date "1881" on the back of it. I...

    Turkey seasons

    Turkey hunting is open in a lot of states now and it would be a good idea to maybe wear flourescent orange hats and vests when detecting open fields and woods til seasons close. Keep it safe. HH

    Old lighter

    My stepson found this a couple of days ago near an old barn. It was shallow so there was no damage when he uncovered it. It is an old Ronson Crown cigarette lighter. I guess maybe 1940's-50's. Any ideas as to age? Surprised the felt was still there. Probably because it was out of the weather in...

    TODAYS FINDS

    My partner, FlynnDFX40, and I went to a Union outpost today and I came out with these finds. A bridle ring, a large copper spoon, and a rimfire Henry 44 cal. cartridge. Then the storms came. We will be back. Not much but beats nothing.

Two days ago I was shown an old well where on old school once stood and took a reading on my GPS. It was: Lat 38.38296 and Long -84.20446. This was within 20 feet...
