    First capped bust dime

    Today I dug some shot pennies, 3 ringers, round balls, a 20th century NYC seal button, and my first cap bust dime. Fun day!

    Buckle, bullet, buttons and balls (tiny silver, too)

    Last hunt until after Christmas. Two spots today. The first produced the pewter piece (melted) and buckle (dates between1630-1690). Meager finds after those two. The second spot revealed the Sharp's, musketballs, flat buttons and a tiny silver cuff link top. The wait for the next hunt is going...

    Didn't even know it existed!

    I had an interesting hunt today. I found a coin that I wasn't even aware existed: a 1722 Rosa Americana 1/2 penny, composed of "bath metal" and minted in Philadelphia. I also dug my first silver ring, a couple bullets, a round ball, a large rivet, a copper cap of some kind, and a lead or...

    CW camp and horse farm finds

    Extended the weekend by one more day to do a little digging. Seems like it was a good idea after all.

    A little silver and copper and a lot of lead

    New spot yesterday produced a lot of targets. 1774 holed 1/2 reale, 1/4 pistareen, 1897 Barber dime, slick large cent (I can barely see a Matron head), copper ring, Sharp's variant bullet, musketballs and a silver utensil handle.

    Dirt lunch

    Fun lunch hunt. The dandy has a little fancy around the edge. I dug this same button at a another nearby property, but the silver wash was still somewhat intact. The darker button with the backmark says Lewis & Tomes Extra Rich. Those two round lead pieces, I can't quite figure them out...

    Two hunts, Two 1812 Buttons

    The yellow/orange button might actually pre-date the War of 1812. I'm working on cleaning and preserving the other, a Light Artillery 2 button. Also bagged a VA half penny, 1840 half dime (tiny!), smashed thimble, a pair of musketballs, buckles, scale weights and even some mystery metal LOL...

    Mexican silver and more

    Never dug Mexican silver before, but I got one today! Ferdinand VI 1758 1/2 reale. Also snagged some old one cent pieces, flat button and two- piece button back, and what's left of a monogrammed silver spoon. Not entirely sure what the square copper piece is - weight, maybe?

    Copper day

    Those large copper coins seem to come out kind of rough at best! Dug a KGII and some other copper alloy stuff today. KG doesn't look bad, but Britania is gone! The anchor-shaped adornment piece and key shank still attached to a key chain were fun to find! Some buttons and a fancy buckle...

    Finds from the old farm

    Good dig day! I've dug two Hampton Military Academy buttons with the building on them (today being my second), but I've never dug nor seen any images of an HMA button with the state motto figures on it! Maybe it's just me. Anyone know what the arrowhead or double hoop pieces are? V nickel is...

    Lunch hunt - part II

    Went back over my lunch break to the property where I found the pistareen yesterday. Had a productive outing with two floral themed cuff links, a large button and a 1694 Spanish 1 real, Carlos II.

    Pennies and a pistareen

    Quick lunch hunt and I scored a wheatie, memorial and a pistareen. Balance!

    Pewter disks? What were they used for?

    I found what appears to be two pieces of pewter today. One looks like a utensil handle end. The other is a disk. I seem to dig lead and pewter disks from time to time and have no idea what they're used for! Ideas? This one doesn't appear to be a button...

    Thankful for another fun hunt!

    Today's finds cover a few centuries and I'm thankful to have found them! A smashed musketball, what might be a 1793-1807 large cent (hard to say for sure - details are all but gone), CW ball button, spectacle buckle, strange lead piece (bullet?), possibly a cap (reeded edges and iron through...

    A few modest finds today on the 1755 farm

    I've been waiting all year for the fields to be cut and they finally did them! I only had about an hour and a half to get after it. I dug my 2nd SLQ ever and love the three ringer. It resembles the Washington Arsenal ones I've dug before, but I think the bottom star was distorted. Any...

    POD Bolt specs? - connecting upper rod to computer module

    Would anyone know the bolt specs (4 bolts) that connect the POD/computer module to the bottom piece attached to the upper rod? Thank you!!!!

    Marking my one year detecting with a great hunt (probably never happen again)

    I'm pretty sure I'll never experience again what I did on today's hunt. I had a SLOW start at a secret spot for about two hours. I'd been checking a lidar map I had made, exploring features that looked interesting. Nothing good except for a copper plated dandy button. I put the map away and...

    Ag, Cu, Pb

    An old 19th century road bed, ending at a deep creek that empties into the York River of Virginia, leads me to the goods! Three the coppers from L to R are 1729 King George II Half Penny, 1848 Matron cent, 1835 Coronet cent. They're rough, but I got them cleaned up enough for me. The nickel is...

    A few Colonial/early American artifacts

    Found a little Colonial/early American items today. There are the buckle/buckle pieces, musketball, adornments and the utensil handle... then the mystery pieces. I think the large lead disc with the center hole goes on top of a staff for sunlight to pass through onto a 3D map. Then I can find...

    "That place has been hunted out." 🧐

    And still coughing up a few finds! Another lunch hunt. 1841 Matron cent. The dates on these things are impossible! .63 dropped musket ball and half spectacle buckle recovered from a now-dry creek bottom. Fun!
