    A few oldies

    Here's a few things from a cellar hole and a small field on my job site. The field gave up the 1833 Matron Head cent and 2 buckles and the cellar had the early 1800's Liberty Cap cent, no date but they were made from 1797 to 1807 or somewhere in that range. This is the stuff I hunger for and...

    I was in clad heaven

    I was hunting a yard with a house from the 1830's when I got a good hit. I cut the plug and scanned the hole per usual, but the target was in the plug. I gave it a few taps to loosen whatever it was and dimes started pouring out like water, 49 in all. I found pieces of paper, so someone must...

    A couple of old things

    I went back to a place I found last weekend. We passed by this site on the trail to a tavern foundation, which we never found. The compact case is silver plated and the watch surround doesn't appear to be gold, probably plated also. I like this kind of stuff almost more than coins because of the...

    A few newer finds from an old farmhouse

    Hunted a lawn which is rare for me, but the fields are too high to detect in until the first cutting. Got the Wash. quarter and Chinese cash coin, which I think is from the early 1900's. This stuff is not as old as I like, but I'll take it especially the silver. Ron

    Question on ground balance

    How important is setting the Sens. to single digits before ground balancing? I usually manual balance the machine but a few days ago, I forgot to re-set the Sens and wondered why the machine was so quiet. I figured it out, but I had covered a good bit of ground by then. Does it make a big...

    Silver from a hard hit site

    There is a cellar hole behind my woodworking shop. Needless to say, I have hunted it hard the past 5 years, bringing every machine I owned around it. In fact, it is the first place I ever detected. The only coins I found were Memorial, not too memorable and a few buttons. Today, I picked up my...

    Down by the old mill stream

    Hunted a cellar hole by a mill site, as usual it was pretty noisy with all the iron. I got a 30 VDI hit that stayed steady and now I know enough about the machine to know when something is good, the VDI locks on or only changes by 2 numbers, depending on the depth and the target. Sure enough...

    A little silver

    Went to a place near the job site, it was a house in the early 1900's but all that remains is the stone chimney, no cellar hole, not even rocks, which I guess they hauled and used somewhere else. I was huting in the back of the house site, I got a tone and what I thought would be a shotgun...

    Help!

    I just inherited a Fisher 1236-X2 in excellent condition. I don't know how old it is, though. Could anyone tell me the value of this machine. I have 2 other detectors, so I will probably sell it. Thanks, Ron

    Best of New England show (BONE)

    Had a great day yesterday at BONE. A friend and I set up a display table and gave a talk on hunting cellar holes. It's amazing how good things look when you display them in a nice case. We also printed some pictures of fields and cellars and a few old maps and set them around the finds. Met some...

    One crusty copper

    I finally hit an old one with the 70. I went to a field where I have found a few coppers and a cross reale and I thought it was done for. I picked up this thin copper, possibly a half-cent and had to resort to wet/dry paper to try to get some detail on it. Pretty typical of probably half the...

    Got a question for you guys

    I have been lurking here for a few weeks reading posts and looking at what you dug up. I currently have a White's DFX which I intend to keep and a Minelab XS. I want to sell the Minelab because of the weight and slow response around iron. It does go deep and I have found things in areas I...

    Cleaned up some buttons

    I got bored, so I ordered a Lorens tumbler and loaded it up with some colonial buttons last night. I am doing a show in April and I wanted to spiff up some things. I have tried cleaning buttons with wet / dry paper under the faucet, but it takes way too long. The tumbler did a great job as you...

    Just thought I would set something straight...

    I posted what I thought was a Washington Inaugural button a few months back. After tallking to some people, there was some doubt that is was in fact a genuine Washington button because it didn't say GW or George Washington on it. Even thought it was listed as such in my Albert's book of...

    Cleaning buttons

    Anyone on here ever used a coin tumbler to clean buttons? I have used wet / dry paper on some and they really bring out some cool designs but it is a lot of rubbing. I know the tumblers clean up clad enough so you can roll them and cash em in but I was wondering how it would work on old buttons...
