    Dix, Flag of our Union Token

    Got this token today at an 1860s estate, up north here in NY state. It is quite forward, "If anybody attempts to tear it down, shoot him on the spot". Im confused as to it being northern or southern? The ones on line say southern, and the ones on line are dated 1863, this one has no date. There...

    First Seated Quarter

    Today had a pleasant surprise. I had early last year with permission detected a large church estate, going back to 1819. Finding only Roosies, and clad I surmised it must have been cherry picked for large silvers. I recently heard it was on the market and had a buyer lined up, but the deal isn

    a couple of good rummage sale finds

    both of these I got at different times from church rummage sales, probably for 5 dollars each. They both work, although the red on I havent used yet as I have to order a belt for it.- it is 3 lb capacity. The big one I think is 5 or 8 lbs- it is the one I use but takes a lot to set up, locking...

    Good couple of silver days gets my first Franklin half

    Took about 8 hours, to get this bunch at my special place. The 2 quarters where within 6 inches of the half, my first Franklin half. I got the half after the two quarters- from the same pocket I suspect, all 1963. Got a bunch of wheat backs too. Most of my firsts are totally unexpected- its like...

    ring found today says "Sterling Bar" what does that mean?

    found this ring-doesnt say 925 but sterling bar, does that refer to the construction technique? Is that an older terminology? Is it silver? Ive found probably 40+ silver rings but never one that says Sterling Bar inside. Thanks for any input CO

    1844 Bank of Montreal Half Penny

    After a dry spell got some luck today. Found this half penny (my first) at the base of a big tree. This park is a small green bordered by churches of similar age as the coin. Have been there before and never got anything old there. I think the park was hammered hard and basically pretty much...

    any one try extending the length of the ProPointer?

    Just wondering. Seems there are times when Im on a deeper target when I wish the thing was maybe 4 or 5 inches longer. I think it would eliminate some of the soreness I get in the palm of my hand due to the positional requirements in the deeper hole. I saw Garrett has something with a longer...

    Got Lucky on Two Counts today

    other day i thought my 11 DD, had recovered from water intrusion. Went to put it on yesterday and no go. Back in the sun and today, oh what a relief this evening, it was OK today. Having spent yesterday with the concentric, while I welcome the lighter weight, it just didnt seem to produce too...

    First Barber Quarter and 4 other silvers this week

    Old Beach does it again. Got this Barber Quarter, 1901, my first, 6 days ago at the old beach along with a Rosie dime. The metal detector alerted me as the presence of the quarter but have to admit it was sticking halfway out of the gravel. The gravel chews them up so i colorized it a little so...

    Cool Knives and 8 silvers this week

    Between my favorite old park, a scout camp, the old zoo and the old beach, got these 7 silver dimes and quarter, doubling my silver take for the year. The four dimes in the middle row I got today at the "hunted out old beach". You might recall late last year i was snagging silver there and v...

    Pipe thing?

    What kind of pipe is this. The center opening is about an inch across. It is either brass or bronze and probably weighs about 5 lbs at least. Its about 5 inches long and has the number K659, deeply etched into it. Note the two holes are only on the side shown and the tab at the lower front end...

Im going to go up and detect the beach for such, along with whatever else I find...

    4 silvers today

    Supposed 1830 farm house, with 1850 Barn. I think, contrary to what the recent owner reports its been hunted before. I searched 6 hours non stop. Oddly I found no large cents, no wheat backs, no Indians, no quarters, no jewelry. Did find a couple modern nickles, one modern Canadian quarter and...

    Found a small fortune today but had to do the right thing.

    Back at the lot I found the IH at yesterday, the back end is like a waste land, beer cans, trash, etc. The fellow that lets me MD there has been restoring the property for years, no one lives there. Im detecting near that zone and a glint catches my eye. There on the ground is an oversized...
