Got out for about 2 1/2 hours today. Went to the park that has been so good to RobW and myself in the past and once again it did not disappoint. Managed a 1943 merc in pretty darn good shape, 3 wheats which I can not get any dates off of and a buff, yes no date. I also dug up a little...

Been quite awhile since I was able to get out. got myself a new hip in late January and with the not so nice weather, well you get the picture. I went to a corn field that I have hunted for years. Managed a totally toasted IH and 4 wheats. Two of the wheats came from around the house, the other...

This is my button from Massachusetts. Made by Aaron Merrill Peasley who was a button maker I n Boston from 1810 - 1823. The front has COMMONWEALTH on it and the backmark is AMP BOSTON

Nice thread....I am what is known as an collector (one step ahead of a hoarder). I've posted some pictures of my bank collection. Now some are old and some are newer (given to me by my mother so they have to be displayed). Other collections include pewter ice cream molds, art pottery, cap gun...

Dave, here are some pictures of the door bell

Happy Birthday to all Marines. Semper Fi

Found this item today. Any help greatly appreciated.

I have been having some physical ailments lately so my hunting time has really been cut short. Today I could not stand it any longer, I was going detecting, pain or not. Decided to go to a field that Rob and I had detected recently. I had gotten 2 LC's, some gold gilt buttons and a few wheats...

Today I went back to the field that I got my last LC from and Rob got his CW token and 1879 IH. Got 2 gold gilt flat buttons. Both have the shank and lots of gilt left on them. I have labeled the backmark in the picture. The LC, which I am assuming is a LC. I have posted a picture of it next...

Managed to get out today for about 2 hours. Went over to another town and I remembered that this town was making a new ball field (Rob, do you know where). It's right next to a cornfield that I had managed permission for about 3 or 4 years ago. First find was the lock, pity it's not all there...

Thursday night Rob and I gave a talk on metal detecting at the town library. We probably had about 30 people attend. We probably spoke for about an hour and then answered questions. Our agreement with the library would be that we could detect the property and keep what we found. Well we went...

Did some errands this morning and decided to go on a hunt. Went back to the park where I was when I posted the 4 silvers......today my 1st dig was a war nickel. I can't remember the last time I dug one of those, 1943P. Also got myself a 1942S merc and a 1960 rosie plus a 1945 wheat. Once again...

Got out for a couple of hours today. No silver coins but I did get a sterling charm. On the charm is says Juntos Siempre which means always together. Looked very hard for the other half and the chain but no luck. Also got 2 more wheats, 1944, 1946 I was only out for 2 hours today as the...

Decided this morning to go out and swing the coil. Have not been out in a while and I desperately needed this hunt. Decided to go to a park here in town and right off the bat I get a merc...sweet. I was concentrating in this one particular area (where I got my last merc during my last hunt)...

Got out for a few hours today. Went to a park in another town which I have frequented before. For the coins I dug a 1946 rosie and 2 wheats. As far as the military items goes, the brass disc has crossed rifles and a screw post on the back. It's either a hat or lapel pin. The next item I am...

I was able to get out with Rob on Thursday and was able to dig some wheats (7) the earliest being 1918. Also got another sterling silver religious medallion and the marble was an eyeball find. This afternoon Rob calls me and asks if I can get out. I was on my way back from doing a RV show with...

I GOT A BUFFALO....... :happy: I GOT A BUFFALO..... :bananadance: I GOT A BUFFALO........ <: Thank you for reading this well thought out post. P.S. Also 8 wheats

I have to echo Rob's thoughts on this hunt. Everybody was real nice and there was no detector bashing(except for those underwater detectors). My take for the day was 5 IH's, 6 V's, 1 wash, 1 Barber dime, and FOUR BUFFALOS. Yeah I know they don't count. The prize of the day was a 1868 trime.

After doing some grocerie shopping, some wash, dishes, banking I was finally able to get to a park in another town. I have frequented this park but not much lately. Second hole was a wheat, 3rd whole was a merc. Wandering around I was getting some clad and finally the other merc. Merc's ended up...

Rob and I hit some fields, some parks and just for good measure we even stopped at a cellar hole. The first place we hit was a field that I took Rob to when we first met. It had produced very well in the past but this time I only managed a wheat (1936) and a flat button. Next we hit a cellar...
