    Another Complete Shoebuckle

    Went out briefly with Jim (RIdirtdigger) on Saturday and returned to a cellar hole we'd been to in the past. Finds came along slowly, and it seems like we did a pretty good job our first time there not leaving any obvious signals. Eventually I came across a loud, solid 60-70's signal on my MXT...

    Tons of Colonial Relics

    I haven't posted in a while, but I managed a few hunts recently at some colonial foundations and managed some pretty good finds. Two weeks ago I tagged along with my buddy Jim (RIdirtdigger) to some colonial cellars. The first couple spots were duds, but then we came across an inconspicuous spot...

    Seated Quarter

    Yesterday I set out for what I thought was a pretty well hidden spot, deep into the woods. Upon arrival I discovered the cellar and the surrounding area was completely trashed :disgusted:. I hunted the area for around 30 minutes and after not uncovering a signal good target, I decided to hike...

    55 Button Spill at Cellar Hole

    A few days ago, I headed out to a new spot that I had high hopes for. I started swinging on a hill directly behind a cellar, when I isolated a good target between lots of iron on my MXT Pro. I dug down and pulled out a nice colonial dandy button and noticed there were more buttons in the hole. I...

    Colonial Coppers and Relics

    The past few days my friend Jim and I have focused our attention at some local colonial foundations. On Sunday Jim and I went to an area with a high concentration of cellars, most had been too close to the trails to have any good targets left, however. We went deeper into the woods and came...

    British Rev War Button

    Fairly recently, I obtained permission to search an old brick building from the 1830s. Not much was found, but I did manage probably one of my coolest finds to date. At first what I thought was a tombac button with an interesting pattern, turns out to be a Rev War British button. Thanks Isaac...

    1721 Spanish Silver

    About a week ago I obtained permission to an old house with a cornfield in the back. After discovering the front yard had been filled in, I headed to the cornfield in the back. I proceeded to hit a 78-79 signal right away, I dug down about 7 inches and saw a very thin, and what appeared to be...

    Seated

    Recently tried my luck at some Victorian era houses, in particular a house built 1856. Within 5 minutes of my arrival I found a 1964 Rosie and some wheat pennies. After not finding much else I relocated to a different section of the yard. I hit a faint 82-83 signal on my AT PRO, dug down, and...

    Stuart Crystal Button

    Went detecting at one of my friends Isaac's farmfields and pulled out an exceptionally rare button, according to Dan it's a Stuart Crystal button from the 1690s. I don't know a whole lot about the button, so if anybody has an input or any additional information on it I would highly appreciate it!

    Complete colonial shoebuckle and first silvers of the year!

    Spent about an hour detecting an older park the other day, and I'm happy with what I managed to uncover. Found a buffalo nickel and a 1913 Barber Dime in halfway decent shape to start off the hunt, then didn't get anything for a while. Right as I was about to leave I decided on digging a loud...

    Last Finds of 2014

    Despite 2014 being my first year metal detecting I still had a great year, and I'm looking forward to 2015! Unfortunately us New Englanders are gonna have to wait for our 3 feet of snow to melt. :bummer: In late December I had one of my greatest hunts by far, I headed over to a house in search...

    A Few Finds Lately

    I haven't been out detecting recently, and haven't been active on the forum lately so here are a couple finds I've made lately. I have pretty good ideas about all of these, but I would still like your input on them.

    Unknown Object found at Cellar Hole

    Hi, found this brass object a while ago at one of my top cellars and I haven't yet been successfully able to identify it. If I remember clearly it rang up a mid tone hitting 60s and 70s on my Garrett AT Pro. If you need any additional information I'd be glad to give it to you.

    LC Spill in Woods

    Went detecting for a little bit by a newly discovered site of mine, and didn't pull anything until about an hour into the hunt. I was hunting by the outskirts of the site and I hit a solid and repeatable 95 at 7", I knew what I had as soon as I got the signal. I dug down 8" and sure enough I...

    1816 Large Cent in Junkyard

    So my dad went hiking today on a modern trail and brought me along, I also brought my detector just in case. After finding out it was a junkyard in the 20s and 30s I had no hope of finding anything good. That was until I got my first signal which was a solid 83, 84 reading 4" on my machine, I...
