Man, that reverse side is in awesome shape! The front side not so much but I can just make out the date. It says lops, yup the date is lops.

Thanks Tony, I agree it would be very scary to hold that thing with a lit fuse in your hand. Even though it is the size of a baseball it weighs right at 3 pounds! I don't think you could throw it...

Del, I cropped the photo but an entire town now sits where the fortress once was. All the stones ended up going into houses, barns, and other structures in the city. Some of the roads in the town...

Drew, The concentric coil's signal looks like an ice cream cone in the ground so at 6 or 7 inches deep you are only covering an inch or so with each pass. My finds went WAY up when I started only...

Nice finds Del, love the 1/2 cent. It's in great shape too. The cannonball and bar-shot are very nice too. What's the squarish thing next to the toe tap?

Hey diggers,
I was able to get out last weekend to a spot about an hour from here. It's a forest area and on the German maps it's name translates to "French Trenches." This area corresponds with a...

This may have happened to you but the wife has been giving me grief about going metal detecting "too much." Well, this morning I was getting ready to go out and hopefully find some awesome relics...

Are these woods part of a park? Or just random woods? Amazing group of finds and the coins look great especially the type I SLQ. I'm very jealous! Seems like everyone has found a type I except...

Donnie, is the title of this post from that show "detectorists?" I'm thinking the episode where they think the guy buried his wife out back...

I've always heard about 150 years but I don't know if any scientific studies have been done on the subject.

Thanks Ron and Merry Christmas to you also!

Those buttons are amazing Del! I have not seen the LA buttons before. I really like them. The key is on a whole different level. It looks exactly like the medieval keys found over here. The...

You are really killing it at that park! Congrats and I hope your weather stays warm all winter!

It took me a second Del but I finally got it! Very creative!

I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and hope 2021 is your best year yet!

I've never seen that type of watch winder before. Very interesting. Merry Christmas too.

Nice milk glass button! These were mostly used to button henways back in the 1800's.

Congratulations! It's in beautiful shape too.

Nice finds! That walker is a beauty. Looks like you got one of the error rings. They accidently stamped the "sterling" upside down. Happy digging!

Noah, try going to historicmapworks. com and look for the oldest map of your county. For my county of St. Clair the oldest is 1864. You may find a reference "old trading post" or "old cabin" or...

Congrats on your finds and the CT copper. Interesting how the B was carved on the coin. I've never seen a B written like that but it's pretty cool.

The back is certainly in decent enough shape, congrats on your finds. So you had to sit next to Del in a meeting? Must have been brutal. He probably looked at pictures of his jeep the whole time...

Amazing story! That's why I like this group so much. Everyone gets along and has a great sense of humor.

That is a really cool find Del! Which program are you running on the deus?

Hey Diggers,
I found an exciting relic this last weekend! A medieval door latch. The front plate is missing but you can see where the skeleton key went. It is very ornate and is hand-engraved...
