Hit some cellar holes in New Hampshire and dug a coin I have never seen. Need some help with I'd

Another weekend hunting cellar holes and colonial homes. The 1750 standing home that I found my 2nd GW button was my 1st destination for the weekend. My Uncle and I were planning on hunting the house and at the last minute, I decided to invite Dave 8/ 8/ Welp , everyone knows by now that Dave...

I thought Dave would call in sick to the forum due to a bout of the Copper Flu. You don't want to catch this strand of the flu. Symptoms are excessive smoking, crankiness, and lethargic movement. As Dave already mentioned, the ticks and black flies were out in full force. The flies were...

Got out Saturday to some private property that has at least 6 cellar holes scattered around 100's of acres. We were able to locate 4 in which one of them gave up some decent goodies. Plenty of buttons including a naval cuff button, a 1843 Braided Hair Large Cent, one complete shoe buckle frame...

Everyday after work I drive by this very old home that was bulit in 1750. The other day I noticed a crew of contractors working the property so I immediately got off the highway to talk with them. Luck has it that the forman is a customer of mine. Long story short... he gave me permission to...

It doesn't get any better than today! I had the privilege of hunting with some of the AmericanDetectorist.com posters in the likes of del, HEAVYMETALNUT, Sniffy and Kray. So much fun hunting with such great company, the weather was great with temps in the low 60's, the day was perfect, and my...

As Dave alreay mentioned, we tried some spots on the other side of the state today. When we made it to the area we wanted to hike into, we were greeted by a locked gate that lead to an old abandoned road. The gate was littered with posted signs of private property, no tresspassing and another...

Dave was kind enough to have Me take him :teasing: to one of his spots over the weekend. We hunted till almost complete exhaustion but, it was well worth it. Along with all the laughs we shared, I had my best cellar hole coin day which included a first for me in the silver coin category. The...

Saturday's hunt really sapped the energy from me, Dave already mentioned the swamp so I wont even bother with the details :white:usaflag:: I did manage a few relics but my friend John made the find the day with a 1780 Half reale. I was very happy for him considering all the swampy hiking we...

Check this video out. a funny knock about the show &quot:grin:iggers Tim and Tina talk about the show DIGGERS!

Dave easily got the find of the day with a beautiful silver lay buckle frame so I am glad he redeemed himself from Saturday's hunt so that I didn't have to watch him mope around today :hammer:. I was able to score a toasty 1825 Matron Head that is heavily pitted :hairpulling:, an old axe head...

I met up with Dave and Jessie this morning to look for some cellar holes. It was a balmy 14 degrees by the time we started our hike out into the woods. Dave led us on a wild goose chase up huge cliffs and down steep valleys as we slashed our way through the thick Mountain laurel in search of a...

I have all the coin books but now I need to get a good button book mainly for all the colonial buttons I dig. Any recommendations? :white:usaflag::

What Dave said in his post. Here are my meager finds from more frozen cellar hole adventures. A complete cuff link and part of a second one from a different site. The button in my hand I thought was interesting because it seems to be lead and it is very heavy for a button. As you may have seen...

It was 10 degrees when I turned on my MXT Pro... no problem! There was 3 inches of snow when I was swinging my coil...no problem! There was 2 inches of frozen ground when I dug my first target... BIG PROBLEM!!! :eyebrow: I still wouldn't have it any other way, regardless of the weather, I would...

I decided to remove the dirt crust from the Inaugural button and here are the results. Pics are at 2 different light angles indoors and the third pic is in daylight and more true to the naked eye If your interested in watching mine and Daves reaction then here is a link to the video I made...

We knew that Saturday was going to be a good day to do some cellar hole hunting as temps were forcasted to be in the 40's. Dave and I had mapped out 4 possible cellar hole sites Friday night and we started :detecting: at the first site as soon as the sun came up. Dave made the first notable...

Last night I was doing some research with my maps and marked two potential cellar hole sites. I was planning on taking a friend along but like an idiot, I left my cell phone in my pants and forgot to remove it before doing the wash. Welp... you guessed it, I put it through the washing machine...

Got in the water Saturday and Sunday morning. Saturday was a slight positive low tide at .31 while Sunday was a dead even low tide at .00 Saturday produced some silver coins, a $1 coin and clad with one Junk ring that at first glance got me heart pumping. I saw glint of gold color but only...

My first official hunt of 2013 was in the water at 7:11 am est with balmy 33 degree temps ice and snow covering the ocean beach. :pirate: A lot of people walking their dogs on the beach were looking at me like I was an escaped convict :hysterical: The winter tides are the best so I just had to...
