p.s. That War of 1812 that I won in one of your contests still holds a proud place in my collection, Jared! It's a beauty!

This is a mic drop post! That site has been a gold mine for you! It seems you find spectacular relics every time you go back. So much incredible history! The trade silver is especially eye-catching. Simply amazing! 👍

Impressive! That is a nice pile of silver and the year is only half over. My silver count has gone down significantly in recent years. I have found exactly two silver coins so far this year, a Merc and a Washington.

That's an amazing find, Don! Congrats! They are rarely found with a metal detector because they produce such a low signal. Still on my bucket list!

I had always been a Lesche user until my brother bought me a White's DigMaster for Christmas several years ago. It has held up WAY better than the Lesche diggers ever did! Best of luck with your search!

I just tried to log in and didn't have any trouble at all, but of course I am not in CT.

Welcome, locator! We're glad you joined us! (y)

Very cool White-lined Sphinx moth! They are big moths that behave like a hummingbird. I saw one flying around our flowers a few years ago.

Congrats on the Liberty Cap, Dan! It's a coin that we can scarcely dream of finding here in the Midwest.

I am envious! A Trime is one coin that has eluded me. They sure are tiny. Congrats on the old coin and the Colonial cufflinks, Dan!

That's a sharp looking Matron! Any idea on the age of the stick pin? That is a neat find also. I love the keg tap too! If only it could talk! Good job being persistent in those tough conditions!

Nice! And it cleaned up well enough to see good detail and a clear date! To my eye it definitely looks like 1803 as the 1805 had a slanted 5. Congrats, Roger!

Howdy from SE Illinois! How do you like your Equinox 800? I have one and I'm still trying to get accustomed to it. There was a learning curve coming from my reliable E-Trac. I have only detected in Wisconsin three times; once in a large park in Baraboo, another time in Black River Falls...

That is a great find, Dave! Rarely is a Shield Nickel dug that has a legible date! Did you find that with your Deus II?

Hi Digger_O'Dell! Sadly, Facebook Groups and Instagram are slowly replacing metal detecting forums. In a way, we're lucky that this forum still exists at all. Even most of our moderators seem to have disappeared. I'm not casting blame on anyone, I have been lax about posting as well...
