My friend Luke (pacivilwarluke) and his neighbor and childhood friend Mark came down this weekend to do some metal detecting! Luke comes down quite a bit, but this was Mark's first time tagging along, and we were all really excited. It was a long month for me, so it helped to get my mind off of...

CONFEDERATE WREATH BUCKLE, 1810 LC, and more amazing relics at a "hunted out" site! Today was fun to say the least! Went back to the "hunted out" site I found a FE, Fat IH and KGII last week. The snow finally melted and it was time for me to hunt the areas I couldn't hit before. Things started...

Had my best hunt ever with Luke (PACIVILWARLUKE) yesterday. Great finds + great company made it an awesome time! Best hobby ever! Thanks so much Luke for coming down! He decides to come down to do our own little "DIV" adventure. He came over Friday and he slept here and then we woke up at 5:30...

!! Mine Vs. Jim's

Guys, yesterday with Luke (PACIVILWARLUKE), I could've dug an extremely rare button. Possibly my best button yet... the lady on the button is named Jenny Lind (the text around her head shows her full name). Here's a little bit of history about her. Jenny was born in Sweden in 1820. She was a...

After a few failed permissions (and a few "maybe's" :crossfingers:) I gave up and moved to a 1920's abandoned house that was on the old maps (hmmmm, a "newer" house was put there where an older house stood) and my research showed its flying colors. The site was a bit trashy but it wasn't too...

Hey Dan these are the best I can find. Some have design some don't. Some have two holes some have three (to adjust size???) and they are on clogs. I just saw someone else find it and It looked very similar

Me and Luke were talking for 2 years. he's one of the first people I met on the forums and we finally both had a day where we were free. They drove down two and a half hours down from PA to the hunting site. They were hoping for civil war relics and I was hoping for older coins. The site was a...

Went back to my Virgin site last weekend for a couple hours in the tall grass. Only got about 6 ticks and most were on my clothes anyway :happydance01::rofl: Anyway the hunt was great! :yes: First right off the bat I get a BEAUTIFUL 18th c. skeleton key (missing the circular top :girlcry:) and...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92rVjJrGoZ8 <- Video (if you'd like to watch!) AMAZING weather and an AMAZING weekend of finds!!! I went down to my families property where I dug a "late-war" GS button and a few other doodad's in February. I figured out that a pre-civil war house once stood...

Really bummed I didn't have my camera with me... but anyway let's get to the story and then pics. :yes: Ahh Private Property, Private Property; oh how I love thee :smitten: Finally have time to post this... so Thursday, I headed to a few home sites in the past that I metal detected last...

First let's start off with the hunt on 2/16... I went to my step grandparents house and hunted the place i found the enfield bayonet scabbard tip again, an old vacant house; ground was half frozen but had to get out there. I came across a new honey hole for sure, the field across the street from...

Well I was able to get out and do some hunting lately in VA on Sunday and Tuesday and I managed to have two great productive days of digging! The first day I went to a 1804 blacksmith shop... unfortunately even though the site looked awesome it was completely trashed!!! But... the first hole I...

I only went out TWICE this month cause of the god awful weather and the even worse school. At this rate I am only able to go out 25 times this year or less... :girlcry::girlcry::girlcry: Anyway I'm done venting... My first hunt was a little secluded public area next to an old 1895 victorian...
