I found this token with 5 others as well as 11 Union and Confederate buttons Friday. They were all about 6 inches deep and enclosed in a plastic tub inside a cardboard box on my front porch! They were a Christmas present from my brother.:thumbsup02: I have identified all the buttons and most...

I found this thing at a new site today. It's 1.5"s long and made of brass. The tip looks like it has a different metal in it and part sticking out of the base is plastic. It is heavy for its size. The base is not hollow. I tried digging it out with a dental pick. The indention is only about...

I was able to hunt for about 2 hours this afternoon and while I didn't have as good a day as the last one I still managed to pull three more silvers. 2 64 Rosies and another 42 Merc. Other finds included a 1942 sixpence, a 2002 50 cent Euro coin, 4 wheats, a hem weight, part of an old Ford...

I got off work early so I decided to hit a new permission for a couple hours. I wasn't too excited about the site because I could tell it was very trashy. I moved about 5 feet from my truck and tried to ground balance my DFX without success. I moved over a couple feet and got it balanced...

I don't know if any threads have been started about this machine but I am very interested in one. I know they don't come out until mid November but has anyone here seen or tried one?

I dug this piece a couple weeks ago and I can't figure out what it is. It is solid cast brass and the only marking on it is "C2". Thanks for any help you can give me.

I was hunting a local park with a buddy the other day and not having much luck. I was finding the usual clad and assorted junk when I finally got a good signal. I dug a gold washed/plated fairy shaped charm and stuck it in my pouch. A little later a family leaving the park approached my buddy...

My brother has a sutlers token from the civil war that he needs some help with. It is a 5 cent one from the 1st Virginia Cavalry. It has the sutlers name across the top but he can only make out three letters and they are Jno. There is a spread wing eagle on one side and the information posted...

I found this piece at the S/A war camp we are hunting and have no idea what it is. The iron piece that was attached to wood, I think. It would swivel on a center pivot and the part without the studs would overlap the part with the studs. There are three beveled screw holes in the part...

I found both parts today at the Spanish-American War camp near my house. Could this be a part of a hat badge? If so, what would the whole badge have looked like? First two pictures are as it came out of the ground. I did a very light cleaning with water and a soft tooth brush but I had to...

Tornados hit the area last night between 10pm and midnight. I was fortunate that there was no damage at my house but the area where I work was hit hard. All the pictures were taken within two blocks at the edge of one area that received major damage. I couldn't get into the worst hit areas...

Found these today at two different sites. I know the buckle is modern but can't put my finger on it. The other piece is brass and the word "environment" is written across the bottom of it.

I was stationed on the USS Enterprise CVAN-65 in 1972-73 in the Gulf of Tonkin (Vietnam) and these are a couple things I brought home. The clock still works and keeps perfect time. Of course, I had the lucky number 13 badge as if being a policeman wasn't bad enough. There were 15 of us to...

My buddy found this cuff button today and sent me pictures of it to try and identify it. But, I am at a loss. At first I thought it was a one piece button but after enlarging the pictures I now think it is a two piece. The eagle looks like it may be military but I can't remember seeing one like...

I went back to the site where I found the ring and got lucky. In fact this is probably the best day I have had since I have been hunting this site. I called my buddy and asked if he wanted to hunt or do yard work. He said "hunt" so we met up at the Spanish-American war camp site about 9:30...

I got fooled more than once today but still managed to get a couple wheat pennies and this little bit of gold! I almost didn't dig the ring signal because it rang up in the bottle top range on my DFX. I guess it pays to dig the iffy signals. The engraving inside the band reads...

It's 70 degrees at 10:30pm here! High today was 82 and it is supposed to be the same or warmer tomorrow and Saturday. We have received 2.5"s of rain since Tuesday but it was dry today. However 30 miles north of here there is a flash flood warning. That area got almost 7"s this afternoon! I...

I very rarely hunt yards so when my buddy called me today and said he had one we could hit I wasn't very excited about it. But, it's been a good while since I have been out so I decided to give it a try. Long story short, between three of us we pulled over 100 coins out of a small yard in...

"I had a power outage at my house this morning and my PC, Laptop, TV, DVD, IPad and my new surround sound music system were all shut down. Then I discovered that my iPhone battery was flat. To top it off, it was raining so I couldn't go for a walk, bike or run. The garage door opener needs...

Just a quick note to let Y'all know that Barnes and Noble book store has the 2014 Red book of coin values on clearance. I think the small version is $3.97 and the large one is $5.97.
