    WOW!!

    It's not a bit surprising. I've found live ammo everywhere I've hunted. Churches, schools, everywhere. Found a bag of 22s and a spill of live 12g shells. I'll probably end up blowing my hand off someday digging a target. Of course I'm in Texas where if you don't have guns and ammo, you aint s**t.

    Ginormous Gold!

    This is the most massive gold I've ever found. Found under a tree in a curb strip. I broke the glass when I dug it up. It's 23 jewel, 18k, 12 size, 1903 Hamilton 927 according to Hamilton records. Given to Phil from Leonard in 1934. I wish Leonard would have given a little more info. Leonard...

    Finds of July 4th weekend. 10 silver/ 75 wheats

    I hope everyone still has all their appendages after the 4th. Spent all weekend at one of my favorite areas. It never disappoints, but the wet weather was a challenge. All my equipment was covered with mud all of the time. The rain did wash up bottles, buttons, and marbles though.The blue bottle...

    Two Silver weekend plus some neat and odd stuff.

    There was a machine with a keyboard to input however many characters it would except. Then it would stamp the token and spit it out. Nobody mentioned the fancy silver scabbard tip. That's cool too

    I've been told organ or accordion reed. I seem to find at least one at every site I detect.

    That eagle plate is the old Dr Pepper fob.

    Finds from 4/9-21/2021

    Been very busy between work and play. Thought I'd start catching up on posting. The first pic shows the fresh-out-of-the-ground version of the next pic. I should start showing the before and after cleaning pics to show how beautiful this filthy stuff is after TLC. The Red Cross object is a belt...

    Ants in my pants!...

    There’s a winding key for a clock there

    Is this ring gold?

    I think it depends on your soil type. I've found many gold and silver pieces that don't corrode, but have a mineral crust built up on the exterior. Gold is always a dark material and silver seems to be a light material. I can meticulously chip away to expose gold, but silver sometimes won't let...

    Dog Tag?

    No, I just like to do the research. I learn something new every time I research a found relic.

    Dog Tag?

    Probably for the Jacksonville, Tampa, & Key West Railway Co. Love it.

    A unique button....

    It's a Girl Scout pin. Used to be enamel or painted

    Finds of 2-27-2021. 2 new sites

    I survived the breakdown of Texas' highly touted independent power grid, single digit temps, and water outage! It was almost 90 degrees a week later. Fun times. On the other hand, I got out this weekend and zoned out from the bazaar times I'm living in. I enjoyed it thoroughly. How about that...

    #1 Find of 2020 and #1 Bucket Lister of 2021

    1856 quarter was my best coin. My oldest US quarter. Hard to find coins this old in Texas. My bucket list would be a 3 cent silver. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    So you wanna be a relic hunter?

    An archeological dig west of Houston found a shell like that. Their research says: Eley Brothers, London, England. Eley apparently started making these shells about 1828. Excellent find!

    So you wanna be a relic hunter?

    Are you hunting an old livery stable site?Obviously lots of horses and wooden structures. Or is this some kind of military campground?

    Here's my autumn harvest.

    Thanks for the info. Someone once told me they were organ reeds, but accordion makes more sense. I find them everywhere. The first time I hunted that spot, I must have found 6 or 8. Yeah, those spark plugs have to be old enough for all the steel to rust away. They look pretty cool when theyre...

    Detectable rocks?

    The most common questions to answer on meteorites is: Is it heavy for its size? Will a magnet attract it? Most have high iron content, but a small percentage are rocky. Common magnetite will make a compass move, but is terrestrial.
