This hunt was from last Saturday and I'm now just getting to post it. So here we are. A few weeks ago I had went to a site that I had researched to ask at. We go to ask permission and no one is home so I put in the next site to go knock at. Well mistakenly I put in the same adress in as the...

Yesterday I had my best day to date. It all started out with getting right to digging at a 1805 site I had secured permission to a while back. On a spur of the moment Friday night with wanting to get out Saturday, I called up one of my buddies and asked if he wanted to go for a drive and hit a...

Well about a week ago I had found this at a site which dates back to the late 1700's, but the land has been hunted, lived, and walked on for hundreds and thousands of years by the Lenape Native American Tribes. This house site is surrounded by wide open fields that have been previously hunted by...

Found this on my last hunt on Sunday at a old home site surrounded by feilds. I found this in one of my holes right against the feilds and was curious if anyone thinks what I've heard on it? At first I thought it was a pipe stem but my good friend Luke told me that it looks like it wasn't...

So yesterday I went to a site where I had previously hit before but only for about 20mins. That day only found a merc, a old horse tack buckle, and a old fork. Today I went back for a couple hours since I had somewhere to be in a little bit and boy am I glad I went! The house was built somewhere...

Went digging today at a brick house built in the 1820's and found some cool relics! Got two flat buttons, one that looks like it was stepped on by a horse or something since it's so flattened out, and the other which is probably my most ornate flat button! The only thing is...where are the older...

Can't remember exactly where I found this but I do believe it was at a 1700's site. Solid Brass. Any ideas or feedback is greatly appreciated Thanks! Keep on Swinging Everyone! :detecting:

The day started out with my dad and I heading out to this spot we got permission to hit. The house was built in 1804 and the owner told us when he was replacing his windowsills he found a 1796 Draped Bust large cent under it! How crazy is that?!? Anyways, when we first got there we went to the...

Started out the day by asking permission at some house sites, but most people weren't home. I decided to go back to a site of my that has a colonial pasture on it. Found my first KG and it's a KGII! Enjoy the pictures!

I'm am sitting in a restaurant getting something to eat after my hunt I just had. I couldn't wait to post it until I got home because I'm so interested in it! I was metal detecting my half cent cite house built in 1750 and I was hitting the pasture. I got a good signal and pulled out the arrow...

Headed out to a spot today with my dad where we hit yesterday and could only stay for about 20mins before we got rained out. We decided to go back and give it a shot! The house was built in the late 1700's but had two additions which were in 1832 and 1920. Only 5mins into the hunt and I pop out...

Dug this beauty at a site I've pounded! A nice colonial thimble! My first colonial one!

Today my dad and I got up early and went out to do some detecting. We first stopped at a house built in 1798 and hit the field next to it. I found a beautiful bell which I'll now call the "Jesus Bell"! Never seen one like it before! After that the finds only consisted of some horse shoes. We...

Get ready for a TON of pictures because you're going to see a lot! It all started yesterday my dad and I planned on going out west of us for the day and we're going to go ask permission at old houses we saw on the way. It was TERRIBLE. People said no, people weren't home,:bangshead01:and we...

Found this today at a house built in 1803 about 4 inches down. Unfortunately the area I found it in was the only area on the property that hadn't been filled in. I was told by my good friend Isaac that it looks like it might be musket related. Any information would be greatly appreciated...
