One of the fields at the 1600's farm was recently plowed. I hadn't been out in a while so I called my buddy to see if he wanted to give a go. Naturally he agreed considering that we had scored 8 old coppers in our 3 previous hunts on this property. It was great to get out again and take in the...

Got out water hunting at two different beaches this weekend. It is weird how some silver holds up great from certain beaches while others just come out of the water looking so bad :dontknow: The silver quarter and .925 10 gram bracelet came from a seperate beach while the other 5 silvers came...

On our first hunt last week at the Colonial Farm, John and I managed to score two Draped Bust Large Cents during our three hour hunt. Eager to get back, we started the morning filling our bellies at our usual diner spot before a full days hunt. The one week wait was well worth it as we really...

Three weeks ago I posted about my hunting partners first american large Cent find. He wanted to clean it up and after inspecting it, we determined there was little to no corrosion showing. I told him to use the hot peroxide method for no longer than 5 mins and it should be safe since we could'nt...

My hunting partner and I started our morning at what used to be an old orchard field but is now a private residence. We didn't know what to expect here so of course we had a back up plan in case this area wasn't producing. Unfortunately, we didn't get many targets here and could only manage two...

My hunting buddy and I hadn't been out in a couple weeks together so we decided to run a marathon hunt today. We started the morning at 5:30 am for a negative low tide beach hunt. We got our typical water finds with some old wheat penny's, musket balls, lead sinkers and a silver ring. Then...

Got out 5:30 am for a slight negative low tide. It was rainy and windy so only hunted an hour but I managed to score a fatty 925 mexican sterling mans ring. Normally my good finds are in waist deep water but this one was found at the water line about two scoops down. This ring weighed at 9 grams...

A few weeks back I had scored my first complete knee buckle and with a little guidance from del, I was able to restore this relic back to a piece that was more pleasant to my eye. We believe this buckle is dated 1760-1790. The process was quite easy: 1)Distilled water soak for 1 week 2)light...

I called my hunting buddy today to meet me at the beach that I got the 1902 V-Nickle last week. Started off slow for me when out of the corner of my eye I noticed a piece of paper floating in the water about 5 feet from me. As I got closer to it I noticed the color of money and it turned out to...

I got up bright and early this morning wanting to get a couple hours hunting in before the rain arrives. I recently got permission to hunt some old farm fields that have been in use since the early 18th century. There gonna let me know when they plow the fields in the fall so I wasn't planning...

I recently dug up a scarce date 1870 dated Indian and a Large Cent 1837. Im not worried about the LC but the IH is important to me. After soaking and tooth picking both in distilled water only, I am now down to almost all patina on the IH. I am thinking of a short hot peroxide bath for the...
