Found this site about 12 years ago with a couple of buddies. I am estimating at least 150 buttons have come from this site but only 2 coppers! A KGII and an early DB. This cellar hole was in between...

Good work Noah. Someday I will have to quit detecting in the woods and really learn how to metal detect in modern trash.

I missed it too! Two great thimbles! That skate is cool too.

That is a very nice display Drew. Not sure it would work for me though. I like to fondle my finds. That half penny ship token jumps out at me as a find that is especially worth fondling!

Wow! That is a very cool find. I think I'll throw my 200 year old snaffle bit in the trash. ;) Yeah, the fact that they are mismatched make them extra cool. Well found!

Nice digs Noah. I wish I cold find 3 silvers in one hunt...or a marble. We want what we can't find. ;)

That IHP is pretty cool! Silvers aren't bad either !

Very nice Drew. You have a nice selection of the big shiny stuff. Noah......it's not my house you should be thinking about breaking into.

Darn right. But first you have to get past my ferocious attack dog.

Dan 20 years ago you would have driven 18 hours the day before then got up at 3:00 AM, hiked 10 miles into a site, swung that heavy DFX for 12 straight hours then hiked back out in the dark. :lol: I...

Finally got out for a hunt Sunday. I am feeling it today. I hiked to a cellar hole and was hoping to find the last piece of a fancy broken shoe buckle that I have been finding pieces of over the...

Come east sometime Tony. Those boys in CT trip over Pine Tree shillings and GW buttons while hiking out to their cellar hole sites. :envious:

Happy to have you on board Sharpshovel.

Hey Drew, check out my perfectly balanced rig !

Yeah Drew I ran a bungy cord over my shoulder down to my belt. It definitely helped but not practical for woods hunting. I wasn't clever enough to think of a counterweight.

Making a detector heavier so it feels lighter ! Now that is some out-of-the-box thinking there brother. :lol: But your counterweight approach is probably the least annoying way to balance a detector....

Seems like a year but it's been a month since I have gotten out to swing the coil. But we got rain here in southeast MA yesterday and most of the snow is gone and none predicted for a week. I'll be...

Speaking of Merry Widows, I recall a post from some years back where someone was detecting at the grounds of a seminary and found a couple of dozen Merry Widows tins.

When a woman would get engaged, she would get a club, knock her man out then stomp him as hard as she could in the forehead. He would be branded for life with that heart and no other woman would have...

Wow what a story! Andersonville! I've been there. That place affected me like no other CW site. Good work Fyrffytr from finding it to returning it.

The pic I have is dated March of 2012. I joined AD in 2013. I don't see that I posted it on Friendly or T Net either. Since those were my days with the DFX, I am guessing I probably posted it the...

Drew it's a love token done on a silver Canadian Vicky 25 cent piece. Late 1800's.

Very clever Drew. I could only come up with a few similarly themed finds.

Primus was a great band. Those guys are whacky. Their videos were always off the wall.

Learned something new today! Yeah "go ahead and print your own money" probably not sound fiscal strategy.

"Notgeld" is something a stallion whispers in his filly's ear.
