    Brass or copper plaque.

    This thingy is some kind of decorative item, 3" wide and 41/2" high made from a thin stamped material. Two things on it that look English are a 5 petal rose at top and a pair of thistles at the bottom indictaing some affinity to Scotland. There is no writing on the back nor any sign of...

    A Colonial period object. (formerly miss posted in the beginner forum.

    Not a gun part although it does resemble one. I found this in a site that dates back to 1700 and was abandoned about 1930. Literally in a berry patch and not very deep. It gave good non-ferrous indications with numbers in the mid 20s to mid 30s on my Xterra 70. There is some riveted copper...

    An old key found by eye.

    I found this while helping a friend move some dirt near his house in an older town in Newfondland. It fell out of a bank, a slope of earth, near the harbour. I had been wanting to swing the site but never got around to it. Brass spikes are the only other objects I have found there, again by...

    Another summer find. Not found on a civil war site!

    A musket ball mold ( half) about 70 cal by guess. Made of lead or something lead like which was a surprise to me. It is the first mold I have found even seen despite the fact that everywhere we detect we find bits of lead splatter and chunks which probably relates to fishing gear mostly and not...

    Two sweet coins from the same hole.

    Hi, I was off to my old hunting grounds this summer and on my last hunt, in a place my friends and I have hunted a number of times over the years I pulled these two out of the ground. I think I was hunting between a house and a barn site although nothing really remains above the grass but for a...

    Forget musket balls. I found half a mold..

    I think it is a 70 cal mold, just one side. It is to large for a 50 cal ball which I have. It appears to be made of lead. The other side was no where to be found. I did find a 1780s shoe buckle square frame 2 5/8"across, copper, about 20 yards away. I think it is likely that this site has been...

    Found a bullet of unknown type.

    I was wondering if anybody was familiar ith this one. We don't often find these in these parts, our lead is largely comes as fishing weights and e find a lot of those. The appear to be no markings. The base of the brass is 3/4" and is 2" long. The bullet looks like lead with the small scratches...

    The house and a 1/2 day hunt gets me an old token.

    Well the house has come along well and I now am trying to have a little fun before winter arrives. I got out or a little swinging yesterday after a few hours up checking the siding around windows s today we are expecting winds above 50mph and rain. Which I thin has just started. I found me a...

    Long time no posts...

    I have been busier than a one armed wall paper hanger. Building a house. Work has vanished so I am filling my time with this. I have hoped to metal detect but after working 5 and a half days a week and rushing around getting stuff after that, I am beat. I took all of last weekend off and...

    Any nautical types about? Bronze spikes.

    I found one of these and my buddy the other. These where found near a port that has been used for as long as people crossed the Atlantic. Probably visited by Basques, Spanish and French before being settled by the English and reputed to have been frequently visited by the odd pirate and raided...

    A study of a collection of coins, pennies.

    Ever wonder what date range you might expect to find in a collection of coins might look like? I have a collection of pennies,one cent pieces to some, that have accumulated for about the last 5 years. It seems that once a penny leaves my pocket it does not go back in again. Here is the...

    An old shoe buckle found a few weeks ago.

    I found this while working a stone wall in an old field. I had know idea how old! Everything we had found nearby had been coming up 1840 to 1920s coins and tokens plus odd brass and lead objects of coin size. This is much older. This buckle appears to be of a copper alloy and gave a steady 34...

    First coins with XT70.

    I recently made a trip down to the east coast and visited a few spots I found last year. The sites don't produce a lot of coins but the upside is no modern junk although iron is everywhere. My plan is to dig all good non-ferrous targets. This yields a lot of lumps of lead, line weights, brass...
