Hello Friends,I am excited to share with you that I will be in Germany metal detecting all day, every day for 9 days starting the 9th of October! I know there is a problem with uploading pictures on this forum, so instead, I will try to upload links to my finds via Instagram. You won't need an...

I don't see any new posts since Aug 31st!

Howdy Diggers, I had several wonderful detecting adventures this year! I spent 19 days detecting in Europe with an amazing group of friends, as well as numerous hunts here in America. This picture is only a fraction of the amazing finds I was able to make. The best treasure though is the...

Hello Diggers, I just wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I hope each one of you is able to get out and find some amazing bucket list items in 2024! Happy digging, Dave

Hi Friends, This weekend I made the 6-hour journey to meet with Tim (Ill_Digger) and Jeff (Fire Fighter 43) in Wisconsin for some amazing detecting at an 1842 Church and its many acres of grounds. The weather was cool and crisp but not too cold. It wasn't long before everyone had a silver coin...

Hello diggers, Here are my dug spurs over the last 5 years detecting in Germany. I can hardly believe that I dug three of them just this year! They span about 300 to 400 years during the medieval period. The oldest dates to the 1300s and the newest dates to late 1500s or early 1600's (per...

I found this watch winder on my recent trip to Germany. The top part still swivels too. I've not seen one like this before. Any ideas? Thanks and happy digging, Dave.

Hello Diggers, My collection of Leopold I coins continues to grow! He was also known as "Hog Mouth" due to his severe facial deformity. I dug all of these in the last 5 years in Germany. Thanks for looking and happy digging, Dave.

Hello Diggers, I was lucky enough to find 2 sickle blades from the medieval period. These could date anywhere from the 1200s to the 1500s. It's difficult to date them beyond broad time eras. After cleaning and conserving them, I was pleased to find they both had touch marks from the...

Hello Diggers, Can you believe it? I found my third medieval spur this year! This one dates to the very late 1400s or 1500s. That makes a total of 6 spurs I have dug now. I spent 2 days cleaning and conserving it and I think it came out pretty good. It is complete with all 3 hook mounts and...

Hello diggers, Here is a lovely 1600's clasp knife (folding knife) that I found on my recent trip to Germany. It's amazing to me that the bone scales are still present! The soil in that part of Germany is very gentle to coins and relics. It took me 2 days to get all the rust off and I was...

Hello friends, On my recent trip to Germany, I dug this lovely pewter clothing hook with lots of silver gilt still on it. This type of hook seems to be only found in southern Germany and they sometimes depict Bible scenes. This one shows Jonah emerging from the whale. It dates to 1600s or 1700s.

Hello friends, I just returned from 9 days detecting in Germany and got an amazing coin on the last morning! It is a 15 Kreuzer dated 1662 and features the bust of Leopold I. He was also known as "hog mouth" because of his severe facial deformity. The coin is the same size as a half dollar...

Hello friends, I've been experimenting with making my own acrylic display stands. I bought the supplies on Amazon and just use super glue to connect the pieces. I started with simple displays for my spurs. Each of the acrylic columns has to be cut to a specific height and then a notch cut...

You can listen live, or you can listen to the replay! Tim and I will be discussing our recent trip to England and Germany and talking about the great time we had and our amazing finds! We will also be giving away 4 prizes of relics, coins, buttons, buckles, etc. 2,000 years of relics will be...

Hello Diggers, Here is a little table knife that one of my friends found while I was in Germany. It was all corroded up and he was going to toss it! I looked at it and decided it was worth saving and boy, am I glad I did! I asked him if I could have it and he said sure. The first picture is...

Greetings friends, As some of you know, I recently traveled to Europe for a detecting holiday. I was lucky that Tim (Ill Digger) was able to go with me. We had an amazing adventure! I have so many finds to show you, but I want to clean them up first. Here is a start though. By far, my best...
