    Seal matrix ring and some silver...

    I've been getting out on short hunts and making some finds. This area has produced my oldest coins. It was an old farm/guest house into the 1600s then used as farm land ever since. Here's the relics. A hand worker pin, wax seal matrix 1700s, small button 1700s, small tap, bronze ring, small...

    I had about an hour before I met up with my Archeologist friend this evening so I hit a local field. My only find other than a few pieces of junk was a piece of lead splatter, probably run off from a musket ball. I

    Another castle hunt...

    It was such a beautiful day I decided to skip cutting the firewood and went to the castle for a hunt after work. Remembered my camera and took this picture of the slope I have been detecting, this is just a part of it, goes back another 50 yards. Eventually, this dirt and debris will get...

    Detected this farm field over the weekend for about 4 hours. I have hunted this field a lot but it still gives up a few nice relics. Beer token, good for 1 liter of beer, mid 1700s button and a copper Kreuzer coin from 1851. Obverse of a worn silver coin with a coat of arms, rampant lion...

    Castle and Ghost Town hunts...

    Went to the castle on the 4th as I remembered my last visit the workers said they will be moving dirt around all summer. They were working today as well. Good guys, they even showed me where they had found some cross bow bolt tips although, I already knew the area. One guy said here comes the...

    Medieval to Modern...

    Saturday was by far the most beautiful day of the year so I was out and about. Stopped by a site that has some ruins to see if it is still there as it is 100 meters from a rock quarry and is doomed. Site is still accessible by 3 meters. Detected this site for hours a few years ago, only found...

    Met up with my Archaeologist friend, also a curator at our museum and confirmed I got a display case in the museum. My theme will be the castle finds, should make a very nice display. I will probably end up donating all the finds to the museum as it is our local culture. I have a lot of...

    Bombs all around me...

    Monday, I was walking along the fence outside our office on the Army post and saw what I thought was a piece of exhaust pipe in a mole hill. I gave it a kick and out popped this artillery round, my heart skipped a beat but, I have gotten a little desensitized as our building was built over a...

    I have been detecting around a castle built in 1107, there was also a town just below the castle with over 50 homes and a church. The castle has seen 3 major battles and was destroyed three times. It burned down for the last time in 1750 due to a lightning strike. They decided to move the...
