After supper dad and I decided to head back to our colonial site for an hour or two. Oddly enough we didn't find any buttons, but still did pretty well! I got a little buckle that looks really old, and then dad nailed an Irish Hibernia copper :happydance01:! I then got my own copper, with a KG...

Had a few hours after school today so went back to my new hotspot and was not disappointed! I started off digging a few buttons as dad was having emi problems with his fisher. I dug another one of those return to _ tags and then the corner to a shoe buckle. I got a drilled shank button, another...

I found this button today. It has a push to the face but it has a decorated edge and an 8 on it. I'm thinking that it might be French and iNdian wars but I'm not sure. Any input would be glady appreciated, and an ID would be phenomenonal! Thanks and HH!

Today my dad and I set out to an 1870s schoolhouse across the river. The owner and his son are actually interested in detecting so we helped them out a bit. I got the nicest barber I've ever dug (1914 dime) and dad got a merc ( 1943) and a heartbreaker 10k gold filled ring. I then started...

Went back to the site I found Sunday with maps and pulled some more cool finds. I took a Friend along and then my dad met up with us. I got a broken pewter button, and a small flat button, my buddy got an 1889 iNdian and a dandy button along with a suspender clip ( he later found the other one...

My dad and I had a decent weekend out digging. On Saturday we went to the field where I've found numerous coppers for 2 hours in the sweltering 80 degree heat. Dad maganaged to get a musketbal and I got a large ball button. These are sometimes called Zouave buttons incivil war context, and...

Very cool, part of a broken crotal bell !

This is the reverse

I could use some help identifying the variety of this kgIII, I found this awhile back. The back is obliterated pretty much but the front is pristine. It's different from any other variety I've seen and was hoping someone could offer some insight. Thank s!

Today on a whim I decided to go dig a spot I hadn't been to for about a year, where I had found quite a few coppers and other relics. It is an 1849 house, but I think there may have been something colonial at the spot before the current house was built there. I hunted all over the property and...

Sure! Here it is in relation to a quarter.

I used naval jelly to clean this dandy button we found on our SC trip. Before cleaning it was covered in verdigris, but when I put the naval jelly on and swirled it with a toothpick for a minute or two the gold really Shone! :shocked03::clapping: The button has a starburst design and lots of...

Hey guys, I would appreciate some help with shedding some light on this interesting piece my dad dug in South Carolina at an early 1700s site. It's a lead disc about an inch in diameter with symbols carved into it. In the top row there is the cross of Lorraine and a W and maybe a small x, the...

I had an Amazing day out digging today in the South Carolina lowcountry. My father and I met some folks who lost a gold ring while digging in January and they invited us to their property. Their property also had civil war activity being in the CS HQ area and adjacent to the winter camps of 1862...

Overview of finds!

I'm down in the south Carolina lowcountry again and went hunting today! It's been really rainy down here but hit a three hour break so was able to get out at my colonial site. A few minutes after my dad and I arrived I noticed a huge pottery shard sticking out of the edge of a groundhog hole...

Looks like it might be a jersey copper, I can see a shield outline

Yesterday I was able to get a short hunt in after school! The snow was mostly melted off where the sun hit but the ground was still hard as a rock. However, the ground was still frozen stiff but I was able to chip away at it. I went back to my large cent field and got a slick copper, and that...

I'm going to be in the Falmouth mass area for my senior trip from June 14th thru the 19th. I've always wanted to hunt up in New England, especially cellar holes, so I figured I'd ask if anyone in the area on here would want to get together. Willing to travel outside of mass if close enough (...

On Sunday it was in the 50s, which is great weather for PA in February. But the ground was still frozen solid so I couldn't dig outside. But then I remebered under the sanctuary of my church from the late 1800s is a dirt basement. It's tough to get to though and the ceiling clearance at the most...
