Got out for about an hour and a half today. Of course I went to my favorite field. At this time of year it is all plowed and planted except for the blueberry bushes which is where I went. Now I have been up and down these rows of bushes over and over yet there is still stuff to find. This KG was...

Got this last Wednesday with Lee and Tim at the site in the woods. Just got around to really cleaning it up. Crying shame it's damaged.....:crying01:

This is a compilation of house, park, field hunts. The buttons, one backmark is Wadhams Coe & Co Extra rich....1830's. The small one is L. Kendrick Extra...1830's. The two piece I can't read the back mark. All three are gold gilt. I think I have one pewter button also. Got 7 wheat's, one is a...

Today RobW and myself decided to get out before the rain. Seeing that we did not have much time Rob suggested we go to the CT copper field, so off we went. After checking in with the farmer I asked Rob which side of farm should we do, he picked a real good side...for me...:lol:. I didn't get...

Having been very fortunate to have a honey hole field, which gave up many good coins, here is what I think are the best. A 1795 and a 1796 Liberty Cap, my oldest US coppers, 1829 Capped Bust dime, my oldest US silver. A 2 reales, my largest Spanish silver.

Got out for a couple of hunts with RobW. Thanksgiving day morning we went to a field and Rob managed some wheats and I got the 1912 Barber dime. Today we went back to a park that we had done about 3 years ago. Back then I had gotten a 1884 Canadian dime and last week Rob got himself a 18--...

Got in a couple of hunts this week. The first one was at a new field and managed a 1914 wheat, D buckle, round ball and a possible watch winder. The second hunt was at a farm that I have been waiting for the corn to be cut. I decided to walk around the perimeter of the field and I got a toasted...

Recently I went to a field that I had found my first ever LC. Got some items but this field seems to be newer by about 100 years. Managed 4 wheat's, 2 1918, 1919, 1945. Also some buttons, 1 flat and a mangled coat. Couple of musket balls and a cast iron wheel that would have gone to an old toy...

Went back to the field today. Probably my last visit until next year. The farmer had cut plowed some corn and a zucchini patch. I normally go North to South but today I went East to West. Got a couple pretty neat looking buttons and pretty darn sure one of them is a military button. It has an...

Went out this morning to the field and scored 2 more coppers making them #21 and #22. One is toast and I have idea of what it could be. One is a KGIII and the only number in the date field that I can see is an 8. I am pretty sure that this is a counterfeit as it only rang up as a VDI 55. 2...

Finally was able to get out and do some detecting and of course went to my favorite field. One section had the corn harvested and the dirt plowed up. The very first pass gave me a nice looking 1833 LC. That is #20 from this farm. Then the finds became very sparse, little tidbits of lead...

Got out to the field again today and got some nice items. The 1st good hit was the dandy button with some fancy on it. Next up was a temperance token (coin?). Looked it up on Google and its 1887. It says on the front: BEAUTIFUL WATER MY BEVERAGE SHALL BE In the center it has a picture of a...

Yesterday we had some rain, not enough but some so today I decided to go and hit my field again. My thought was that the ground now has some moisture. It was dang hot out there today. I went to the area that I got the capped bust dime and the first target was this CWT. Not in the best of shape...

Bucknut.....there is another variety to the 10 C, extra large. Here is a better picture of the date.

Woke up this morning to a downpour.....about time. Rain was basically done by 8am so I decided to go and hit the field. Got a couple of buttons, a nice flat and a dandy. Also got a cuff and a musket ball. Towards the end of the hunt I got a broken tombac. The silver is a 1829 capped bust dime...

Partially holed or not great find. Her is my holed coin

I went back to the field today and was informed that the plowed, not planted area has been planted. Asked permission for another area and was granted permission. So I cross the street and proceed to do an area that I know I have done many times before. As I stopped to light a cigarette (yes, my...

Went back to the field this morning and stayed only 1 1/2 hours, it was to hot and muggy. Dare I say that I became one with my underwear. No CT coppers today but I managed my 2nd Liberty Cap. I am pretty sure that its a 1795 (my oldest US Copper). My other one is a 1796. Same field. The second...

Drove by my favorite farm this AM and noticed it had been plowed in spots but not planted. U turn, went home, changed cloths, went back to the field. I managed #16 and #17 coppers from that field. The first one is a CT copper but I can't see a date. The second is a 1838 LC. Also managed two...

Recently a good friend on mine passed away. He was 84 years old and was the gentleman that got me back into metal detecting. He showed me his finds and all I could think was "he got it all". As he progressed on in years he gave up metal detecting but would come over every Saturday and Sunday...
