    Button ID?

    This is a distinctive button with a USA eagle. Nothing on flat front. One piece. Could this be military? Thanks! PS I saw five real eagles perched and flying around a tree the day I found this button! :shocked01:

    Advice on Pocket Watch

    Hey all, These are the finds of late. Anyone know how I should open that pocket watch? It looks like it can be opened on both sides...I'm hoping that means one side has an engraving on it. Next to the watch is what I think is a silver colonial button. There's a bit of a stain where the shank...

    Bottles

    So, last week I push my shovel into the dirt for a nice target and hear glass breaking. :shocked01: I went right through the middle of a beautiful cork bottle:girlcry:. I got to thinking how rare unbroken bottles are. These are my bottles from over the years. Thanks!

    Military Buttons?

    These are most likely livery buttons but I saw one very similar that was being called a coast guard button. If they are indeed livery buttons why would they have an arm and sword? Maybe family crest? Thanks!

    1/2 Real

    Yesterday, I'm swinging for the fences toward the end of my hunt, two fields out from the cellar hole, the ground was covered with leaves, it was windy, it was raining, and I wasn't wearing headphones :lol: The D2 (Deep HC stock, sens 95) heard the real real clear at 6in. :) Even with all that...

    Few Weeks

    I've been able to hit some very interesting sites lately. They haven't produced much but it's been fun. I was fortunate to secure a "serpentine path" on private property designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. It was built in the 1870s and people have been walking on it ever since...they seemed to...

    Clamshell Spoon

    I'm trying to date this site and everything is pre-1830...except this spoon! I wish I never found it :lol: I'm guessing 1890s or even later, but does anyone have a more educated opinion? There is no writing.

    Arrow Heads

    Hey Everyone, Happy Fall! I've befriended many of my property owners over the years and sometimes spend much of my detecting time chatting (I'm socially better in person than online :lol:). I speak with this one fella quite often and he recently showed me all the Indian arrowheads found on his...

    70 Yr Old Concession Stand

    I spent the last few weeks going to a concession stand at a beach. I spent 90 min each morning. The actual beach gave up nothing...I spent a week on the outer banks last year and also found NOTHING! My beach skills are lacking!!:shocked01: But, I hit the grass above the beach where kids lined up...

    Best Site Ever

    As Bucknut continues to uncover so many relics at his perfect site, I thought it may be interesting to share other "best" sites. My only virgin cellar hole gave up 30 to 40 important coins, my only three-copper hole, and one of my two GW buttons. The reason it was virgin was it doesn't look like...

    Last Month

    Haven't been able to get out much but here is the last month or so. Anyone hazard a guess as to the age of the anchor button? The back is shown but ratty. One of those coppers may be a KG1. I can just seen the distinctive outline of the reverse.

    Heal Plates?

    Lately I've been posting finds from the dirt floor of a stlll standing blacksmith's shop. The owner found a pair of heart heal plates there. She asked me about them and all I could tell her was that they were heal plates. It inspired me to look around the internet again to see if there was any...

    fyrffytr1 Sent My Dad...

    I'm blown away by the kindness of people on this forum! I mentioned my dad is interested in the Civil War and so fyrffytr1 said he was going to send me a "couple of bullets" from a CW site. LOOK WHAT HE SENT! I really appreciate his kindness and I'll post some pics when I get together with my...

    CW Button?

    Hi, I bought this button for my dad. He's always been a CW buff and I thought it would interest him. The dealer says it's a "Civil War button." How do they know? Could it have been made in 1866? Would it be more appropriate to say CW "era?" Thanks!

    Not a Bad Draped

    I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend. I was a childhood musician and now a retired band director so I had the pleasure of marching every Memorial Day Parade since 1971. Yesterday I detected...surprise! I didn't want to show up at permissions on a holiday so this looker (relative) came...
