    1859 O Yeah!

    Those may be old marks. They should be shiny new cuts if recent. How could a huge machine make such marks on a tiny object like that? Anyway, nice find. I still haven't found a half dime.

    Been super busy. Catchup Post #10: My most cherished find

    The site is in a small town that dates to 1850, on a city lot. It was found under the remains of an old building with lots of old glass, plumping, scrap metal, and other coins from 70-100 yrs ago. I'm sure it was probably moved to Texas with a settler and eventually fell through a crack in the...

    The site is a vacant lot in a town that dates to 1850. I've hunted there a few times and always find a wide variety of relics. Found this .557 cal (55) Enfield projectile there once.

    They built the railway and most of downtown in my hometown beginning in 1872. It saved our town from obscurity after the loses of the Civil War.

    Sorry about the missed opportunity. Hope you bagged a turkey though.

    Been super busy. Catchup Post #10: My most cherished find

    This is the sequel to Post #9 and includes, to me, the greatest find of my 45 yrs. of detecting. Some of you in New England may not see this as a big deal, but down here in Texas, I'm considering this extremely rare. I didn't know what I had when I dug it up, until I got home and cleaned it...

    This is the sequel to Post #8. Boy, we Southerners were so proud of Confederate Veterans that we waited until 1899 to give this Southern Cross of Honor award to vets before they died off. This is about the same time statues started popping up in every Southern city. There's a lesson here...

    Back on the river 19 silvers! Lots of barbers! Dime trifecta!

    Research is a good start to a great hunt. Well done. I see that you found some musket balls. Are you finding other relics?

    Forward or backwards, the states are indeed, not united.

    CTX 3030 with small, medium, and large coils. Small being the go-to on most occasions.

    Found my second Thimble! Same home!

    That's some nice relics. I love the tiny padlock. The thimble is unusual, which is good.

    This is the sequel to Post #7. Pic 1 is the second half of the finds from Post #7. The swastika on the heart is definitely a good luck symbol. I really like the elaborate winding key above the stubby key. The brass rectangle, bottom right, is a 1st place award for Bantam Weight Motorcycle. One...

    This is the sequel to Post #6. Pic 1 is from another week of after work hunts while out of town. I remember the ground being like concrete here: Ulyssus S. Grant token, 1929D Merc, another Merry Widows container, I don't know whether the swastika lid is for good luck or Nazi. Pic 2 is from my...

    This is the sequel to Post #5. Pic 1 This shows finds from one of my old reliable sites. I find things there every time. It's all mixed in with square nails, bottle caps, and scrap metal going down to about 8". One of the lead seals is from the International & Great Northern Railway. The "ice"...

    Thanks. I actually do like photography. I try to use some of my finds in my artsy pics.

    Found Aggie ring returned today.

    Those rings mean a lot to every Aggie I've ever known, including my oldest daughter and son-in-law. Excellent work.

    You have to stay on top of those street tear-outs. It's a lot of ground to cover, but I take it nice and slow.

    Oh, you mean the Junior Sheriff badge? It's actually well-made.
