    This Field

    ain't so good to coppers. :girlcry: Got my second toasted copper from this new field, rang up a solid 84 on the V3i. Oh well, another coin for the signature. Got another round ball and a couple of buttons, one a cuff, the other I think had some sort of design on it at one time. Also a rivet...

    Field Finds

    Conestoga Bell - Real Toasted Copper

    Went out for about a 2 hour hunt today. Hit a new field of this farm which has about 200 acres to it. The 1st pass BANG, conestoga bell (a little broken). Been quite a while since I have gotten one of those. Next up was the button, another one with the bump in the middle. That ox knob rang up so...

    A Little Door Knocking

    About two years ago I tried to get permission at this house down the street from me, but was rejected. Having to pass this house nearly everyday I kept my eyes open and yesterday I noticed a new family moving in. Today I introduced myself and welcomed them to the neighborhood and of course...

    Some misc finds - butotns - mucketballs - "7" coin

    Just thought I would throw these up in a post. A few flat buttons, one with a back mark, Treble gilt, and one a cuff, and the last one ????. Couple of musket balls, what I think is a lead seal, D buckle, shotgun shell and a 1957 Rosie. Wish the silver was much older but hey, its silver. Thanks...

    1740 kg ii

    I had planned on getting out with Lee today but life threw me a couple of curves. So hopefully next week Lee and I will get out. I did get out with Lee yesterday in his hometown but nothing to report on my end. I had accomplished everything that I had to do much quicker than anticipated so off...

    1796 liberty cap

    Had today off so off to the field I went. This field is still giving up the goods. I started off with a button, then the cut copper. I have no idea of what it is so will the forum pool of knowledge please chime in. I then got the tombac and next was the round ball. The Liberty Cap is my oldest...

    Oh Lee......LOOK

    Lee and I got out today and we went over to the field that had given me all those CT coppers. We got to hunt for about 4-5 hours and it got real interesting towards the end of the hunt. The 1st keeper for me would be what I think is a cufflink. Next up would be the 1907 IH (pay attention to the...

    I had wanted to get out with Lee today but the wife had a list of things that needed to be done. I managed about a 1 1/2 hour hunt though. The sterling silver item is marked STERLING 402 but I have no idea what it is.....ideas anybody. My lonely coin is 1945 wheat so no addition to my...

    Thread Showcasing Member's Two Best Finds of 2015

    Doing some counting it seems that I only managed to get in about 21 hunts this past year. So here are my two best: 1913 Massachusetts Motorcycle Registration. These fobs were only issued between 1910 and 1914. I also read that roughly only 8000 of these were issued...

    Hunting with Lee - Silver and Gold

    Tuesday Lee and I got together in his neck of the woods. He had lined up a cellar hole and a 1690's house...:cheesysmile:. First we go to the cellar hole which is right off the road so assuming that it has been hit before. It was on a hillside so we traveled up to the top where the land...

    1913 Mass Motorcycle Registration tag

    Got out with RobW at one of his permissions today. An old farm somewhere around 1830-1840's. As far as coins go, a 1929 and 1939 wheat....oh well. I have a whatzit...looks like it could be silver. In the backyard I got the Pyramid Spinx charm. It has no markings but looks silver (did not ring...

    KG II - LC - Buttons

    So I went back to my favorite field today. Got 2 more coins for my signature. One of them is a 1730 KG II, sadly someone shot it. As I was rubbing it off I was thinking to myself that this had better not be a shot CT. I guess I can live with King George being shot. The next one would be 1845...
