    Hey all, Haven't been on here for a while. So I have been detecting a property that dates back to the early 1700s. Most amazing property I have ever been on. Not even close to done. Shoe buckles, coppers, 1750 1/2 Reales, late 1700 patriotic buttons and more. This 1 piece button was...

    Why so much attitude? Great find!

    So just like some people, I have been at this hobby a while and have learned that it is so easy to miss something good from time to time. I was hunting a local park/swimming beach that I and others hunt frequently. A few good finds here and there. In the summers here in the Florida Keys, people...

    Bottle dump finds and a question!

    I am not sure if this is the place for this. I was detecting today at an old fishing camp that has grown over and the only thing to see is the bottle dumps. 3 piles with thousands of bottles and jars. The only problem is, nothing is all that old. Mostly 50s and 60s. Some are pretty cool but...

    Found another ring!

    Got a few hours in today at a park that I thought must have been detected before. Got the normal trash and clad until this popped up. It has a nice stone in it but can't find any markings. Not sure if it is gold but has no tarnish. Came out clean. Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

I found a 1960 Washington, a 47D wheat, a 59 Rosie, a 63 Rosie, an old bullet, and this cool trigger and guard. (probably a toy) The big round thing...

    It's a silver kind of week!

This silver ring and a 1941 Mercury Dime. At one of the properties I found $1.37 in clad, a 1919 Mercury Dime and a...

Spent 3 hrs digging everything and came up with a buckle, what I think might be another pocket watch winder but not positive (any ideas?) and 3 more buttons. The smallest has great detail and says "warranteed plated. The second has a...

    Take out the trash day!

    So today I was out at an 1880 dairy farm for the second day. Holy trash! So many targets and nothing great sounding so I had to pick and choose what to dig. The best signal of the day blew an 86 on my AT Pro and I dug down 18 inches and couldn't find it. Best finds today were a small buckle, a...
