I met up with Tony Two-Cent & Noah Saturday for our first hunt of 2021. They both had a pretty good day. Me, not so much. But it was still great getting out after a crappy winter!! I got a 12-46 high tone at about 5 inches. I dug a 5" plug and to my surprise i pull out an 1888 Indian, then I...

Friday, Noah and I hit a house in the afternoon and Dug these: Yesterday morning, Alec, Noah and I went back to the cornfield that we've been hunting. Things are definitely slowing down there, but we did manage a couple more buttons each. We decided to try another old brick home that we drove...

Saturday morning, Noah and I stopped at the 1833 field for about an hour an a half before we started door knocking. It's starting to slow down and only dug two buttons this time. After that, we headed out to do some door knocking. had no luck, nobody was home at most of the farm houses...

Four weeks ago, Noah and I stumbled onto an 1833 cabin site in a corn field. In two short hunts and 2 all day hunts we have pulled out an 1829 half cent, an 1875 shield nickel, a 1906 Indian and 79 buttons. My question is this, why would one cabin site produce so many buttons. i'm sure this...

Saturday morning we headed out for another 5 hour hunt at the cabin site. It had rained for the past three days, but the field was surprisingly not bad at all. Probably due to the sloping hill that the cabin was built on. We took a couple of local friends out there with us this time, Tom...

i apparently forgot to post this last week. All from one farm house Oct. 3rd

We were out yesterday door knocking farmhouses when one of the farmers told us about a site in one of his fields that had a cabin on it in the 1830s. He had us follow him about a mile to the spot and told us to have at it. Although the corn stalks were about a foot tall, we managed to detect...

My son dug this at an old brick farm house. The owner said it was part of a fort in the 1830s. There are no visible markings and it's kind of crusty. Any guess on it's age and what it might be made of? Thanks

I was finally able to get Digger Al out for a day. We met up with Noah, hit a couple of houses in town and then spent the rest of the day hitting farm houses. In town I dug a 1904 barber dime, a tiny sterling ring and my first Indian of the day. We had an usually great day at the farm houses...

Noah and I went back to a town that we used to hunt a bunch. Everyone that has hunted there with me has had stellar days. Tony Two-cent, Full metal Digger ( Daddy Digger), Noah, , Digger Al Have all killed it there. Anyway, First hole of the morning I dug an 1866 two center. What a way to...

Tim and I took a little road trip to hopefully find some virgin ground:hystericallaugh:. Not so much these days!! Although we did manage a few good finds. Here are mine. And 3 Wheats for the entire day!

We tried a new town yesterday. The town was started in 1836 ( Old for around here ). Noah dug the only Old coin, but I'm happy with what I dug too! My first silver coin of the day was a 1921 2 Fr. from Switzerland. It's just a bit larger than a quarter. My second and third finds were a 43...

We met up yesterday morning to do a bit of door knocking In an old central Illinois town. Let me start out by saying it was great to get together with Tony again, it's been such a strange year!! We hit a few houses, but most of my finds came from one 1870s yard. It had obviously been hit before...

Last Saturday, my son an I hit a little park in a very small town. Al did some research and found that there was a school there in the late 1800s. Al's first find was a slightly broken skeleton key. He followed that with a 1945-S war nickle. It took me a while, but I finally got on board with a...
