I think I've had about enough of face book. I really don't care for the format. A few years ago the detecting world just kind of migrated over to FB. It had a couple of advantages like ease of posting in general as well as pictures with ease and videos But I am going to try to focus on regular...

I was informed this week that my Gold Posey ring find from last September in Colchester has been declared Treasure Trove and I won't be getting it back. Two museums are going to bid on it. The land owner gets half the money and I get the other half. Damn it. I wanted to give that ring to my...

I had an excellent hunt in Colchester this past September and scored my first gold coin 1672 Charles 1/2 guinea and a Gold and enamel posey ring from about 1650. the inscription reads " I am But a Token" and it's a corker of a ring. I did well with other "normal" finds as well but these were the...

I hit this coin two weeks ago at my GW/USA site right on the lip of the cellar hole. It's the third 94 that I have But it's in far better shape than the others. Get out there.

Hey guys there’s a survey for finders of Batwing buckles looking for the origins of these cool finds. Take a minute and fill it out. https://my.forms.app/form/60c6b22c064c3505fa5440d6

Here’s something to do. Let’s see one from everyone. 2021 can’t be as bad?

Got out on an invite over the weekend to a spot where my host had found over 12 coppers in two days hunting. I mucked around with some trash and buttons but didn’t score until the end of the day with a super deep iffy signal that I went after because of the site I was on. At over 12” with the...

Got out for a group hunt today with some you will know. We all did well with coppers all around well almost. Lots of fun and laughs. My day was some buttons a couple spoons?? 😂 and a nice shape KGII 173? Get out there.

Three of us got back to the same cellar as Gary and I were at last weekend. We did well again and all had some nice finds. My favorites for the day were a set and a half of colonial cuff links a KGII and a lot of colonial buttons. Gary did well with another GW and we brought another friend Eric...

Got out with a couple friends today to multiple sites that all gave a little. I hunted the Deus and the Equinox just because. No other reason. Tons of buttons, shoe buckle frag, sleigh bell, Smoothie KGII, suspender parts and a gold ring that I think is 1700s early 1800s from the font and high...

I always figure that I will hit at least one Reale each year. Last year I didn’t get it done until December. It was a close call. This year I’m way ahead of schedule with this 1 Reale. It’s the nicest shape Reale I’ve ever been lucky enough to fine. Very pleased to have it. Get out there.

I got out to a field today that I've been detecting for a week. We call it the button field for good reason as we always dig lots of buttons there. Today was no exception as I dug about 6 buttons and a LC while there for two hours. One button today was special Dan says 1820 or earlier. I like it...

I'm Published it's official. Back in 2008 I found a steamship company button at a cellar hole dig. I was contacted by a family member from the company and they provided proof of who they were so I donated my button for them to have. Now it's in a nice book that just came out about steamships...

I went to a new permission tonight at a 1950s house but research told me there was a house there in the 1800s. I dug this Malitia Plate 1818-30 at more than a foot down. Why why why did someone cut the shield out ?? Anyway I'm very happy to have it. Im told that the cut out the shield "thing"...
