Just wondering if anyone else will be in North Carolina for Digstock next week.

Hello Diggers, I recently went door knocking in a new town and got a yes at an 1850's house. There weren't a lot of coins but the ones I did find were deep and old. I did manage this 1875 shield nickel (on my FOURTH pass). You don't often dig them with legible dates, so I was quite happy...

Hello Diggers, On my recent trip to Germany, I was fortunate enough to find another Bronze Age arrowhead! This type has a secondary barb at the base to make it more difficult to remove from the wound. This type has been documented as being used at the Battle of Tollense Valley, 1250 B.C. It's...

Hello Diggers, On my recent detecting trip to England, I found an 1881 Queen Victoria Schilling! I was lucky enough to hunt on a friend's permission just north of London. He has access to about 4,000 acres of plowed fields and he invited me to go detecting with him. I was there for 4 days...

Hey Diggers, Here is a hammered silver I found on my recent trip to Germany. It dates to sometime in the 1500's. We went to a spot in the forest where our friend had found 42 silver coins about 10 years ago. He said they all dated to the 1500s. We spent an hour there moving brush and dead...

Howdy fellow diggers! On my recent trip to Germany, I dug a serious bucket lister! A medieval battle axe that dates to the 9th or 10th century! It's also called a bearded axe, and they are commonly found in northern Europe and Scandinavia. Some call them Nordic axes or Viking axes, but they...

Howdy diggers, I've been having trouble uploading pics, so I haven't made any posts lately. Here are two lovely engraved tombac buttons I found on my recent trip to Germany. The galloping horse motif only seems to show up in southern and eastern Germany. They are definitely one of my...

Hello Diggers, On my recent trip to Germany, I asked the guys to make a day trip to the site where a battle took place during the Farmer's War of 1525. The daggers from this war are unlike those of other wars and they are easy to spot with the small clamshell handguard. During this period...

Hello friends, Here is 2 lovely tombac buttons from the 1700s. They are engraved with the "prancing horse" design. These are from my recent trip to Germany. The horsey buttons are always my favorite to find! Thanks for looking and happy digging!

Hello Friends, Here is a lovely Bronze Age arrowhead from my recent trip to Germany. The little secondary barb at the base puts it in the 12th to 13th centuries B.C. I now have 3 of that type as well as others (some older and some newer). Thanks for looking and happy digging!

Hello Friends, I am slowly cleaning up the French musket found at the site of the Battle of Engen from May 3rd, 1800. It appears to be a Charleville musket but I'm not sure which year model just yet. I've cleaned the lock and trigger guard, but still need to do the barrel, ramrod, trigger...
