I dug a 1942 Washington, a 1936 Merc, a1957 Rosie & a Shell token. On Sunday, I met up with Dave again...

I also dug an old button. all I know about it so far is that it was made by Hammond Turner & Sons and they were in business from 1717 to 1950. If anyone has seen one...

    Saturday I stopped and did one house while I was out doing errands. I dug a 1941 Washington in the curb strip. Thursday after work I took a drive to a small town an hour from my home. The first house was a bust, not even a wheatie. The second house was built in 1883. It started out slow but...

    Another After Work Hunt / Big Silver Coin Spill

    I went out after work Thursday with my friend Tim (Noah). I had two 1890s homes in mind but no one was home at either of them. In between the two houses was a house from 1911, so we decided why not. We spent about an hour on the front yard. The Silvers started popping in the first five minutes...

    Worth Another Look / Musket Thumb Plate

    While Alec and I were in Connecticut, Alec dug a piece at a 1750 house that we thought was a drawer pull. I even captioned it in our video as a drawer pull. Today it was identified by Isaac Pasette as a thumb plate from a Brown Bess flintlock musket . The best I can tell, this came off a model 2...
