    Seated, Park, Cellar

    Hi all, Got out to a cellar hole yesterday morn and a park this morn. About 90min each, until my water was gone. It still amazes me how New England can be a frozen tundra then a bug infested jungle in a matter of weeks :lol: The cellar hole- Pewter shoe buckle frame, two wheats, cuff button...

    Morning Micro Hunts

    Shoe Buckle and Keepers

    I just saw Jared Bucknut's post, so I'll post this then head over to his for a closer look. I couldn't take it all in! :shocked04: I dug these at two cellar holes in between 100s of dig holes. The buckle was 15 feet from the lip and a musket was near that. Every cellar hole gets detected every...

    Re-Find Keepers Sorting Through Buttons

    Morning All, As usual I was up with the daylight and started sorting my buttons. :cheesysmile: I made a pile of dandies, tombacs, pewter, and ball. I found a couple of colonial cuffs inadvertently thrown in... an 1880s Central RR of New Jersey button... and a CW style Boston School Regiment...

    CellarHole/Park Hybrid

    Hi everyone, Previously at this site, I've found everything from a late 1600s coin to yesterday's surface covid coins. The keepers are self-explanatory... but that little crudely ornate buckle is interesting. I don't think it's a knee buckle as the pin is oriented like a shoe buckle and the...

    Interesting Skunking

    Hi Fellow Quarantiners/Hunters, WARNING, this might just be the ramblings of a holed up Nutmegger... My hunts are usually about 90min... and many of my sites are super quiet until that one good hit....so I often get skunked, I have the luxury of being able to hunt on most days (when not...

    Hi Friends! I haven't been out in forever! We moved a few weeks ago, to a condo, downsizing...it's that time of life. Only three mile away from my old house so all my permissions still stand :thumbsup01: I got out today after working from home until noon. I went to a field I've never found...

    Washington Inaugural Button!!!

    I FINALLY GOT ONE!! :bananadance: Maybe 10 Years ago Dan took me to my first cellar hole and as we were all working a skunking he said that someone must have found a GW button here for it to be so pounded. Since then I wanted to find one. Since then I've hunted 100s of holes, some near the...

    1895 Barber Half!

    We've had some warm days around here so this morning I tried one of my fields. I could work a shovel into the ground and leverage out the frozen top layer. It's my second Barber Half this year. Happy New Year everyone!!

    Real Counterfeit or Real?

    A few field hunts of late netted everything in the picture save the Half Real, which was found this morning...in my yard! Don't hate me :lol: It was six or seven inches down and rang up like a zincoln, which is a bit lower than the other reales I found...but not much. It looks odd too. The...

    A week ago Thursday my wife successfully ended her year-long battle with cancer!! She is cancer-free and just doing Immunotherapy now.

    Heavy Silver Ring

    A series of short hunts after work produced the following items. Hay field and a park. The Wheats are oddly 1917,1917,1918, then 40s. The ring weighs .4 ounce. I'm digging deeper coppers with a few years experience on the Nox but the condition of them has plummeted.
