Hey diggers,
I say "dream bucket list" because some things you don't think you'll ever find so you don't even entertain the thought. Today I was detecting a new stretch of woods right next to a small village founded in 1260 (or so). I was right at the edge of the tree line and had such a beautiful view of the meadows and village down below. I got a screaming signal only 2 inches deep. I figured it was either a .50 cal shell from WW2 or maybe a smashed can. Imagine how surprised I was to pop out a spur! But not just any spur. This is a Medieval bronze spur from about the 12th century!! It's 900 years old! The rowel is missing but who cares. It was probably iron and rusted away centuries ago. Anyway, I am still on cloud nine over this relic. It's all cleaned up and waxed. Here is some pics. Thanks for looking and happy hunting, Dave.
