Did you find them close to each other? They are very cool.

Awesome relic! You always clean / preserve them so well!

I went up to my cottage this past weekend and did some exploring some new areas and I came across a nice indian camp site. I found a lot of copper chunks and bits at first and in many of the holes I also would find a pc or two of pottery. Some of the copper bits have been worked on or perhaps...

I am sure there are lots of detectorists over on your side of the state. hope you find some partners and some great finds! Welcome to the forum.

I found 2 more seated coins the last couple weekends. The first came at a park that I have detected many many times and dates to the 1870's. I was detecting around a cement structure and came across a shallow penny signal. The coin was caked with a thick black sulfide but I did see a bit of...

A little bit of everything. Good job!

Thanks Epi-hunter! That $5 bill was a rush! Haha! If I can find 1 seated coin a year I am happy so I am set for the rest of this year. Thanks for putting it on the banner and I hope you get out and post some banner worthy finds this year.

Great finds and great pics too!

The other day I was looking for Morels at a park and I noticed an old foundation and even what appeared to be a well in the woods. So yesterday I checked an old map to see if I could date the place. It appears to be around in the 1800's. So yesterday I thought I would detect it. I think it...

Here are some of my finds from up by my cottage at the end of last year. There are some trade era items from the 1700's and then some copper culture items in there too. It is awesome to post again! I will be heading back up to the cottage next week and I am really looking forward to...

I went back to the park where I found the 1870 Shield Nickel last Monday and had a great 4 hour hunt! Found a very nice 1909 Barber dime and two more Shield nickels! Both are 1868. I have only found 4 of these prior to last week and now they are popping up. I think when I go back I will...

I went up to my cottrage the other weekend and found more relics and trade silver. One of the highlights was an old hatchet...probably mid 1800's. I went for a "wonder" deep into the woods and found a plain button and then found my oldest military button nearby. It is a US 16th Infantry...

Here are my best finds from the last few months from near by parks mostly... The 1870 Shield nik I found today at a new park that I have never been to before. I only found a merc and that Shield nik...the place should have been loaded but it has been hit hard over the years by others...

The other day I drove into one of the parks near me to do some morel hunting and as went by one of the beaches I realized that the water line was way down! So I went home and got my equipment so that I could detect it. I am not sure how long the water has been down but I have not seen any...

Yesterday I visited a fairgrounds that dates back to the 1880's. I was just glad to get out detecting in the nice weather. I came across a nickel signal that turned out to be a Jefferson at about 5 inches deep. I then reswept the hole and got a high tone in the corner of the hole and a bit...
