So I just dug what looks to be a pretty old coin and I'm not entirely sure how to go about cleaning it. As you can see the sides are starting to crumble. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went out for about an hour today. Around 50 degrees in New Hampshire. I had a pretty good day! Found a flattened little musket shot and I found these things inches apart. I was swinging on what I believe to have been a private road in the 1800s. Could these be parts to a set of horse reins...

Went out with my buddy today for a few hours. Still on the search for an 1800s cellar hole however we did have quite a few finds. Hole has to be close. Found a horseshoe, 1920s fork, and 3 little musket balls right in a row just feet apart; must've been dropped. Not a bad start to the year...

I got out to the area of an 1800s school house today and dug a few items. I've been battling the snow and hard ground so it's tough but I dug this piece with some design on it. Can anyone help me out with identifying what it is? About 5 inches deep. I also came up with what I believe to be some...

Hey everyone, So I've been doing a little research lately on my area. Ive been trying to locate homesites for next season; not much luck yet. This one im looking at is located in a patch of woods however on the map it shows two dotted lines going right by it (circled in the picture). Does...

I'm a little late, but here are my best finds from 2015. It was my first year of metal detecting and I made away with some great things. From 1920s condom containers to colonial objects, 2015 was a great 1st year for me. Check out my finds... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey everyone, I need some help figuring out what this is! It rang up as a coin but after cleaning it off it looks like it could be a button?? Can anyone help me out with this one? I found it in the same area as the colonial shoe buckle and musket balls. Looks like it may have a little design...

Today I dug 2 musket balls and my first colonial shoe buckle! A little broken but you can still compare the two easily! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So today I found another little lead shot in my back woods. I also found what I thought to be just a random metal piece at the time, but after cleaning it off it looks like it could be the barrel to a pistol or musket; whatever shot these little lead balls. A few parts of the sides crumbled off...

I need some help with identifying these items! -So the first item shown seems to be a really small bullet that I found still stuck in the wood it hit! It looks like a mini Civil War bullet. You can see the rings around it and everything. Any thoughts on what it could be and what kind of gun it...

I need some help figuring out what this could be! It's a fairly heavy lead piece. I thought it could be a button but it's too heavy and thick. Doesn't look like a shank is present either. It was about 4 inches down and I've already found colonial objects in the nearby area. Any help would be...

Hey everyone, I'm new to this whole thing but here's what I found yesterday in my backyard! I believe it to be a "buck n load" which is a little musket ball. I also found an oxen shoe about 20 feet from this. Could anyone confirm this to be a musket ball? It's about 1/4" and I believe it to be...
