    Hey Echo and Gray Ghost?

    What gives? Been kinda a quiet on the detecting? The relics aren't going to pop out of the ground on their own.:rofl: Tab Dog is having all the fun. Or is that dirty little word called "WORK" getting in the way of detecting? Hope everyone takes a little breather from the drudgery of life and...

    Got rained on:detecting:

    Stopped at a new site someone told me about, but it's been hit already. But they missed this colonial buckle. Started to rain about 20 minutes after I got there, so I'll have to go back for more. Nice complete shoe buckle. Will soak it, so the parts unfreeze. Iron pins usually don't survive, but...

    Haven't posted in a while. GREAT DAY:bouncy:

    Haven't had time to post, but always make time for hunting. Today I found these beauties along with a 2 cent piece (1864) and a couple more buttons and crotal bells, etc. The 1800 Large cent is a 80 over 79 overdate, The 1830 is the common variety, the book is really a lighter, (hence the name...

    Couple of times out this week.:detecting:

    Been out twice and found some cool stuff again. My second match stick case and I'm two for two on them. My first one was an elaborate silver case with the trolley tickets still in it!!! This one was cheaper, and it contained what it was supposed to, Matches, or at least the sticks. The sulphur...

    Saturday's Colonial Hunt

    Went out to a couple of hit sites, to try our luck. Did ok. Found a bunch of corroded and broken things. One coin, a George II British copper (common). the bat wing belt buckle is cool, but broken. A bunch of buttons and such and another BIG lock (penny for size). All in all, a good, fun and...

    Picked Barber site over colonial - Hit big:detecting:

    Wasn't sure if I wanted to hunt all day at a beat colonial site or a larger area Barber site. Barber won out. Decided to venture way, way out and see what's there. Not much all day, except this 1900 S Barber half, some clad, and a cheap cross. Thought for sure it was going to be a clad quarter...

    Last couple of hunts

    Not too much each visit, but it adds up. Had a bunch of buttons (a nice flowered pewter and a large cloak button). A nice colonial lock and a couple of odds and ends. Going out tomorrow for a while. Not sure if I'm going colonial hunting or Barber area hunting. The colonial sites are soooooo...

    Some more interesting finds:smile:

    Here's todays finds from 2 different sites. The 1834 Large cent was in pretty good shape. The item on the bottom right is a wax seal. It was used to imprint the wax when sending a letter or on important papers. It has a glass front that was pushed into the soft wax and left an impression. It...

    Had a great day out:bouncy:

    Went out with a buddy to three worked out sites yesterday and hit pretty good. Although I am the unofficial president of the "Let's see how many damaged George Washington Inaugural Buttons we can find club", I'm still happy to find one. This is the second GW button and both are damaged. The 1/2...

    Slim Pickins':blink:

    Went out the other day and had little luck. Got a corroded Draped Bust large cent, part of a colonial shoe buckle, a musket ball, an ox knob, and two buttons (decorated flat, and a Tombac). The condition of the copper around there is BADDDDDD. Managed to get enough detail to tell it's a Draped...

    Finally my drought is over!!:rolleyes:

    Went out to some foundations we had done before. Started out rough for me. my two buddies were finding buttons, an Indian, a Barber dime and me?, Nothing!! But as the day went on, I finally hit the 1818 Large cent about 4" down. Then I started finding large cloak buttons and a nice engraved...

    Went out Thursday - Rough digging!!

    Went out to my favorite trap rock area. Tough digging in spots where the trees are gone. I had to chip a few holes. That hurts. Along with about 5 miles of walking, makes my wife question my sanity. Took long enough:rofl:. Found a couple of nice things though. The 1898 5 cent Canadian was a...

    Help on Large Cent Variety

    Wondering if anyone has a large cent book listing this variety. It's an 1833 with distinct doubling on the forehead to nose area. Anybody ever seen this variety? Found this a while back along with that 1809 over inverted 9 half cent I posted a while ago. Thanks - George

    Help on Large Cent Variety

    Wondering if any one has a book on varieties of this 1833 large cent I found a bit back. It has a distinct doubling of the front face (forehead to nose). Don't know if you can see it on the pics. Thanks.

    Anybody heard from IndianaSmith??:shrug:

    Just wondering how he's doing. (He's probably cramming old maps in the library for warmer weather.) HH

    I complain about trap rock, but......

    Trap rock coins, as well as others found in sand, come out looking pretty good. This one is from Wednesday's hunt. I was going out this Saturday, but snow is coming. So I went out early instead. It's not a rare coin by any means, but it cleaned up nice. Looks better in person, more carmel...

    Going out This Saturday - Here's one from before

    Going out on my usual Saturday hunt. I like to look over my old finds to encourage my next hunt. This 2 real was found in 2005. It has a good story. I was detecting a hunted out site and was not finding anything (not even shotgun shells!). I always swing as wide as I can, lifting my coil over...

    Went out and froze today.:surrender:

    Went out to a colonial site hit well, but not that well. All the large coppers were gone, but not some of the other items. Found 2 Indians, a destroyed 1863, and a 1870. Both were in xf condition when dropped, but the ground killed them. The four holes in the older Indian didn't help...

    My two PCGS slabbed pieces (found detecting)

    Hi, These are the two coins that PCGS did slab. Found a while back. The other 6 coins were not slabbed. Surprised at the grade of the 1920 Mercury (thought it was lower) and the grade of the 1848 Half Dime (thought it was higher). What do I know.:shrug: Going out tomorrow (Saturday) and find...
