LOL! I'll take them where I can get 'em! But across the pond this would count as "modern" coinage! LOL

Congrats Todd! I've enjoyed watching all your group's finds on the Colchester forum.

Welcome to a great forum with amazing people! Where in Europe are you living? I lived in Germany for 3 years and was able to get some decent finds. Looking forward to seeing yours!

Nicely found, Del! It certainly has enough detail to identify. I can almost read the date, 179x? Are you going to try to clean it up any more or just leave it as is?

Congratulations Del! That is a coin that I have not been able to find and so it remains high on my bucket list. It's always fun to go out with "da boys" and do some detecting. Maybe it's time for the Illinois/Wisconsin boys to make another road trip up your way?

Just wondering if anyone else will be in North Carolina for Digstock next week.

Thanks, Don!

Thanks, Tony. Yes, it was with the Deus II. It rang up a faint 61 to 62 on the display.

Hello Diggers, I recently went door knocking in a new town and got a yes at an 1850's house. There weren't a lot of coins but the ones I did find were deep and old. I did manage this 1875 shield nickel (on my FOURTH pass). You don't often dig them with legible dates, so I was quite happy...

And a happy new year with lots of finds in 2026!

I watched the show with great interest, but I don't feel like upgrading. I like my machine the way it is. I think I do okay. No one gets it all. One thing I thought was very interesting was the demonstration of the ferrous and non-ferrous targets side-by-side. One channel was in all metal...

What an AMAZING coin to find. Congratulations! You couldn't ask for a more perfect counterstamp! What were the other coins in the spill?

It's hard work but very rewarding! Well done.

It's a really nice find! Congratulations.

Hello Diggers, On my recent trip to Germany, I was fortunate enough to find another Bronze Age arrowhead! This type has a secondary barb at the base to make it more difficult to remove from the wound. This type has been documented as being used at the Battle of Tollense Valley, 1250 B.C. It's...

Hello Diggers, On my recent detecting trip to England, I found an 1881 Queen Victoria Schilling! I was lucky enough to hunt on a friend's permission just north of London. He has access to about 4,000 acres of plowed fields and he invited me to go detecting with him. I was there for 4 days...

You are 100% correct, my friend!

Hey Diggers, Here is a hammered silver I found on my recent trip to Germany. It dates to sometime in the 1500's. We went to a spot in the forest where our friend had found 42 silver coins about 10 years ago. He said they all dated to the 1500s. We spent an hour there moving brush and dead...

Howdy fellow diggers! On my recent trip to Germany, I dug a serious bucket lister! A medieval battle axe that dates to the 9th or 10th century! It's also called a bearded axe, and they are commonly found in northern Europe and Scandinavia. Some call them Nordic axes or Viking axes, but they...

Howdy diggers, I've been having trouble uploading pics, so I haven't made any posts lately. Here are two lovely engraved tombac buttons I found on my recent trip to Germany. The galloping horse motif only seems to show up in southern and eastern Germany. They are definitely one of my...
