I'm a naturalist at a nature center and my hubby found a baby black rat snake at his work in a maintenance building. He asked if I wanted to take her to work to show the kids. I talked to co-workers and we decided to keep her since she was young and hadn't been used to a life in the wild. We...

I dug this 12 deep where settlement of Lexington occurred mid-1770's... same spot I found 1838o seated dime! Perhaps a blacksmith tool or for slicing & gutting animals (note the HOOK at the tip of handle). It's pretty heavy\durable- the hook is strong, pic doesn't do it justice... lol I am so...

I found these cufflinks yesterday at old settlement in the middle of a 100 acre plowed field. I've been pulling flat buttons, buckles and bullets that date late 1700's/early 1800's. Took my friend out there and he found a clipped Spanish Reale!!! Anyway, I can't find these cufflinks anywhere...

I haven't posted in a long time and have accumulated a few neat finds. I've mostly been hunting tot lots this summer because it's been sooo dry and I've had both of my boys (4 yr old Logan and 6 yr old Bryce). I bought Logan a White's Coinmaster a couple months ago and have been planting...

Help -I can't find this button anywhere! There are sure a lot of variety of naval buttons :shocked04:stretcher: but none w/lines in circle pattern- they all seem to be horizontal... I'm looking for a time period, out of curiosity :yes: It's a larger button- about the size of a quarter...

I found this button along with several other buttons, a hair pin and a human tooth! Everything was encrusted with tiny weeny little pebble type rocks. I soaked the huge (heavy) button in olive oil for a few days and used some steel wool to reveal an Eagle button, very similiar to the one I...

My friend invited me to her hometown to detect a reaLLLLy old park next to a spring last Sunday. There's a canal leading from the spring under a stone bridge (the pics really don't do it justice) and there are these steps where they used to do Baptisms. I was swinging near those steps when I...

Was thrilled to find this 1876 cc seated quarter at our oldest city park :happydance01: It was about 5 deep in a very trashy area (everywhere is trashy there lol ). I was using my new SEF butterfly coil. It was extra satisfying because I've hunted that park many times without finding any...

Finally got out today, it was a sunny day 40's. Still a bit cold... but you know how it is for us addicts :rolleyes: It usually takes biting wind and snow or pelting rain to keep me from hunting lol I'm really happy with the 1935 merc 3 deep next to the church sidewalk and earrings- I've never...
