Got out for a bit yesterday with OxShoeDrew. I didn't find any coins, but I did manage to find some really nice buttons. Nice big Tombac cloaker with design, 3 civil war buttons, a flat with some design work, a little button with writing on the top and finally just a flat tombac. All had shanks...

Got out early today and met up with OxShoeDrew, SafariScott, and Dan. Things were slow going. I though since we just pulled six coppers from here the other day there must be more floating around. My first decent find today was the pocket watch(silver gilt). It rang up like a half dollar and was...

By accident i posted twice one with pics one without how do i delete a post?

Today was an absolutely fantastic day. OxShoeDrew and I started out lousy but ended with what we believe to be a virgin cellar hole. So I text Drew in the morning to see if he wants to hunt. We pick a new cellar hole deep in a wooded area, and start out. We start hiking in through dried up swamp...

OxShoeDrew and myself got out for a three hour tour. lol We headed to some spots that Drew had in mind, we drove past them looking for a spot to turn around. As we drove past them I noticed a cellar hole off to our right. Drew said hey that one's not on the maps. So we parked the car and off we...

I was just wondering if there was a site that might help figure out where certain types of colonial shoe buckles were made. England, France , Etc. This buckle I found a while back and was curious where it might have been made. It's pewter and to stop it from falling apart I used spray shellac on...

I got out Sunday for a very humid day of hunting with SafariScott. We worked hard for about 3 hours and just at the end of the day I was able to hit this Mercury dime. Mercs are always a welcome site, but that was it for my Sunday hunt. Today OxShoeDrew and I were planning on heading to a site...

I got out for a few hours today with OxShoeDrew. We tested out a couple cellar holes in the next state over only to find that they have been hit pretty good. I did manage to find this one keeper and a first for me an 1857 Flying Eagle penny. thumbsup01 Thanks for looking. HH

I haven't been getting out as much as I'd like to. Here are a few things from my last two hunts with Oxshoedrew. Just buttons and a thimble. I did manage a neat little pewter spoon and a KGIII. Been a while so was a welcome sight to see that copper. Found it with the DFX in relic mode, was about...

Got out for a hunt today with SafariScott. We hit a few sites all in one area and targets were hard to come by. I just got the F75 back from fisher and was eager to test it out. It worked perfect . First target was the little spoon was about 4 inches down, I think its tin or something. Then...

Met up with Drew(Charlives) for a short two and a half hour hunt. We started on a colonial road and ended up finding a nice little cellar hole. My first target was this nice 1835 Matron head LC. Next about ten feet away came a 1910 wheatie. As I worked the road a little I hit a little spill of 2...

I found these two objects a while back. I have no idea on either. My hunting partner figures the cleat looking one was to wrap a rope around, but were not sure. Any help on either will be greatly appreciated Thanks and HH

Got out this morning with Charlives(Drew) to the spot where he found his fugio. We got there early and a first things seemed promising. I got the pewter button rather quickly, probably in the first ten minutes of hunting and then it happened. The quiet hum from my dfx for the next 4 and a half...

Hit a spot today with a member from another forum(GTPguy). Only got the one keeper but I'm not complaining. Been on a dry spell for a while so this was a welcome sight. Thanks for looking HH

Is the rotating banner new? I love it. Along with the new emoticons. This is the best forum out there hands down. Thanks owners, co-owners, administers, mods. and all the members, for making this forum feel like home. HH

I was just wondering why the emoticons have one flying a Canadian :usaflag: and none flying the AMERICAN :usaflag:. No offence to the Canadians, was just curious considering this is American Detectorist. I know there are people from all walks of life here but I would think that there would be...

While waiting for Charlives to meet me for a quick hunt, I found this copper. It looks to be 1730 but my eyes are shot so any help would be appreciated. That was my one keeper for the short 2 hour hunt today. Thanks for looking HH

Got out for a few hours today. Went back to a cellar hole that has produced in the past. My first target was this gold gilt two piece button. Also got a suspender clip patent date 1811. I wasn't sure on the clover thing but my partner says it's a heel plate. My first one. I found this shell...

Charlives and Del met me at my house bright and early, from there we headed to a few cellar holes. Between the 2 detectors, coffee, pinpointer, keys, and cell phone you guessed it I forgot my shovel and digger :crazy: Thankfully Drew had a shovel I could borrow and we were off to the first hole...

A short hunt today with Charlives produced this nice CT Button, and crotal bell. This is my second crotal bell, there are no markings on the bell but it's a small one. This is my first CT civil war button, looks to be in nice shape. I didn't do to much research on it so any info will help...
