I was invited to hunt a field today with a friend. The field had just been plowed but we have not had any rain so it was a dry, dusty hunt. I found a lot of trash and some what is its before getting a loud banging signal in my headphones. I used the side of my shoe to push some dirt aside and...

I hunted for 6 hours yesterday and 4 today and this is the result.The penny is a 1917D, the large button to the left of it is a 1 piece with a Wadhams & Co. Superfine backmark that dates it to 1847. The small flower button to the right is also 1 piece and has a good bit of gold gilt left on it...

I had the chance to get out for about 4 hours this morning but the only site available for me was one that had been hit hard many times over the years. But, it was nice out and I never pass up the chance to relic hunt because I don't know when the next opportunity might come up. I decided to...

Besides relic hunting and my wife I have another love! I have been restoring a 67 Pontiac GTO for about 5 years now and it reached a milestone last week. It has finally been painted. I am going to bring it home next Friday and start the long slow process of putting it back together. The color is...

My hunting partner and I went out for a few minutes Sunday morning but it was too hot so we gave up and went our separate ways. Me to my house and Jim went to his sister-in-laws house on the creek to go swimming and relax. Jim's sister-in-law found a couple indian artifacts in the knee deep...

When the water drops to a certain level in the river we like to wade out and look for stuff that has been thrown off the bridge. We find a lot of trade tokens, amusement tokens and some coins and jewelry. We have even found guns, mostly pistols that were dumped many many years ago. Well, this...

To be honest, when I first heard of a bucket list I had no idea what it was. But, now that I know I am curious as to what other folks want to accomplish before that day comes. I haven't really compiled a list but I know of a few things I want to do. 1) Find a Confederate button with my metal...

I had a chance to get out today but didn't have any where to go. So I rode downtown to check the river level. It's still about a foot higher than what I want but, with the drought we are experiencing it will be down in no time. Anyhoo, while driving around I saw a sidewalk tear out and decided...

I went back to the same field that I found the shield nickel and seated dime in and hunted for seven hours. I was using my DFX with a 12 coil and it wore me out but I did manage to pull a few keepers. I got a 1916 Wheat cent, a 1903 Indian Head cent and an 1840 half dime. That makes the fourth...

I found the usual assortment of lead, shell casings and other odds and ends today and I also found a button that looked like a civilian one at first glance. However, when I got home and cleaned it a little I saw the Scovill backmark and got a little excited. Upon closer examination I believe I...

I had to go back to the field I found the seated dime in because I felt like I left one there. I was half right. I didn't get another dime but I did find an 1869 shield nickel in pretty good shape. Also found another rimfire cartridge but this one has been smacked in the kisser! Some more round...

The 1842 Seated dime I found Sunday fit nicely in the frame I put together. It is all the good stuff from this site. There are several fields that make up the site and I have been fortunate to find this stuff. The top 12 coins came out of the same hole. There are 9 Indian Heads, 1 flying eagle...

I had a chance to get out for a few hours today but wasn't overly enthusiastic about the field we had to hunt. It has been hit time and time again and the finds now are mostly round balls and small scraps of metal. But, it was a beautiful day and it rained yesterday making for some good hunting...

I know this is an old find and some of Y'all may have read about it elsewhere but, I have nothing better to do right now so I thought I would post it here. It is the story of the find that is my avatar. Here is an artifact I found about two years ago. It is not valuable and, as you can see, it...

I don't have anywhere to hunt so I thought I would pester Y'all with a bullet ID. I found these bullets in the same hole while hunting camp sites in the Hagerstown, Md. area many years ago. The 69 rang up loud and clear and was easy to find. I scanned the hole before filling it back in and got...

Since I don't have any sites to hunt yet I have been going through some older finds and wanted to share this one. I found this button about 20 years ago in the Hagerstown, Md. area. I have seen carved bullets and even have a few crude ones but this is the only carved button I know of. It looks...

I have posted this on several forums and have yet to get an ID. It came from a CW camp site in western Maryland many years ago. My brother has also recovered one. It is enameled on one side.

I'm experiencing a mild case of cabin fever and was told the best remedy was to look through my old finds. Well, I did and now I have a full blown case of the fever! I thought it might help if I posted one find even if I didn't find it. My older brother gave me this shortly before he passed away...
