Hello friends, I have been so busy with teleworking and staying cooped up in the house I haven't had much chance to go out detecting. I have gotten out the last couple Sundays and have a few finds to show you. I found an old pen knife and a few days later when I was cleaning the crud off...

Hey Friends, Spending 7 days detecting in the worst weather ever but it was worth it in the end! I found bronze age all the way up to 1993. My oldest silver is 1247 and my newest is 1942. Here's my finds. My export license is being processed and I will get to keep all my finds. Just got to...

Hey friends, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! The other day after work I was able to get out for a little bit so I went to the 1794 battle woods near my house. I just took my time and dug every signal. I didn't have any expectations I was just enjoying being out. About 30 minutes...

Hello Diggers, I got out for a couple hours yesterday at the 1794 battle site and got my first-ever trifecta of canister shot. 3 different sizes: 3/4 inch, 1 inch, and 1 1/2 inches. Here's the before and after pics. Thanks for looking and stay safe and healthy!

Wow, great finds! Love the tombacs. They are in great shape too. My buckle book thinks your buckles may be for garters.

Hey diggers, Out digging at the 1794 battle site and stumbled across some coins lost in the early 1500's! My best one has the date 1509! It is a Schilling (1/2 Albus) from Cologne - Archdiocese of Philip II. It depicts St. Peter holding the key to heaven in his right hand. The key splits the...

Hey Friends, As you know, there is a battle site only a couple miles from my house. The Prussians and the French had a 4-day skirmish back in 1794. The woods cover nearly 1,000 acres so there is plenty of places for finds to be hiding. This place is well-known and has had lots of detectorists...

Hey Friends, Today I went back to the 1794 French battle site and found this incredible shoe buckle! It was right next to the dirt road and rang in SO loud I thought for sure it was a smashed beer can! I'm thinking something this fancy had to belong to a French Officer (since the enlisted were...

Hello Diggers! I spent 7 glorious days in England detecting in the most horrific rain, snow, sleet, and 60 mph winds ever endured since Tim went over to England! This was a dream come true for me as I have wanted for many years to find medieval English coins! There were 12 of us in our group...

Heading across the channel for 7 days of detecting in the Colchester area. Russ and I will be meeting up with 10 detectorists from America. You might know some of them; Plugmaster Ford, Missouri Mike, Nuggetnoggin, Relic Rangers, 5280 adventures just to name a few. The fields we'll be hunting...

Hello diggers, Russ and I went back to that forest near my house where the big battle happened in 1793. After about 2 hours of swinging I got a screamer signal that caused my machine to overload and null out. I kicked the leaves aside and could see the curved surface of a cannon ball just...

Hey Diggers, Today I paid a visit to a section of woods only 3 miles from my house. A huge battle occurred here on April 13th 1793. 70,000 French against 40,000 Prussians. The Prussians won. This section of woods is well known and has been detected to death! It was more than an hour before...

I met up with Tom and Russ and we tried a new section of woods. Signals were few and far between but I managed a couple good keepers in a 3-hour hunt. The medieval pewter button came out of the ground looking really good. The soil there was that red clay so that might be why it is so well...

I guess Tony Two-Cent ain't the only one! I've got my own detecting license plate now! LOL!

Screamer signal at 12 inches deep and up pops ancient bracelets! Sure would be nice to go back in time and see how they were lost!

I found some amazing things this year but these 3 are among my favorites.

I wanted to keep this fair so I drank 6 beers until everything was blurry and I couldn't read the names. I threw all the scraps of paper up in the air and 30 minutes later when I woke up I picked one at random. Congrats Donnie! pm me your address.

Hi Diggers, I went out to a site that saw a few battles in the 1600's and 1700's between the French and the Army of the Holy Roman Empire. I found about 20 large caliber musket balls and two large fragments of exploding cannonballs. I also found a few high-tone keepers (below). My best find...

I saw this book listed for only $123 on eBay so I clicked "buy it now!" It's in great condition and looks like it was hardly ever opened. They typically sell for much more and I am tickled pink with it! I know some of you NE guys will be drooling!

Me and the guys decided to head 3 hours east and do some detecting in the Swabian Alps. So many castles and incredible history. Between the 5 of us we found Celtic, Roman, and some Medieval. The interesting thing about this area is the soil is so neutral that iron barely rusts. Our local...
