Well, trying to get over one knee surgery, and its not going so well. The other knee surgery is not scheduled yet. My doctor said that I should consider giving up detecting because of that and heart related issues. Soooo....I just bought an At Pro, a garrett waterproof pin pointer, headphones...

Have you guys stopped the finds of the month ?? I see nothing for this year.

I found this today at a permission, house was built in mid 1700's, at the very top in tiny letters it says J.PO Boston

Can anyone tell me what this is ? I have no clue.

So, I'm hunting an old 1700's site today and find a few items. Two flat buttons, and what I think to be silver plated buckle, and a harmonica with the wood still in it...cool. But when I get them home I realize that the buttons have something written on the back......Is there anything besides...

I tried to attach this to "mystery brass item" but it would not let me. I believe that it is an old butterfly valve.

Not sure about this mark either. Funny how my embalming/ funeral directing homework is always in the background.

Can anyone help me date this ? I have tried for years. And if you can nail that one, I have one more.

It was just a couple of feet away from the silver buckle, and I have no idea what it is. It is not silver.

Found this solid silver knee buckle today along with a tomback ? button at an early 1700's place. There was also an exciting Spanish silver found there ....but I will let the finder tell that story. I just added another photo of it after cleaning.

Found today at 1700's house, inside stamp says "coin", Any idea of age ? Mangoave told me that after 1868 they started stamping the numbers in them.

I found this at a 1700's house. Lee said that he thought it was a counter stamped farthing because of the size. Slightly larger than a nickel.

I found this a while back, and at first I thought it was the eraser end of a pencil, so I threw it in the junk pile, but after looking at it again.....I think it may be a tag from a tagged bird's leg.

Could this be a hammer from a gun ?

I got a couple of better photos of the copper that I posted the other day, and found an 1832 cent the next day, and also a lead soldier in the yard of an 1700's home. Is it the rare copper ? and also, why would the 1832 cent have notches on the rim ?

I found this today, its my first readable copper !! you can see much more detail in person, I had to use a scanner to get this photo...my camera is acting up. Can anyone fill in the details for me ?

I found this at a 1700's place a while back, does anyone know what it is ? Kind of looks like an ice skate blade.

Does anyone have any idea about what number range a GW button would be on an AT pro ?

The silver button was found when the guys from Illinois were here. The fork and spoon came from the same wooded area. Check out the design on the spoon, not seen that one before, any guess on age ?
