    I can’t believe I found the whole song!

    Just before the last big snow, I was hunting a different part of a place I’ve been to a number of times. As it was getting dark back in December, I hit an iron patch and recovered an Indian head penny and an old wheat. So, when the snow finally melted off I was back. The ground was still...

    Flat button enigma?

    I had to go wading through the snow, but I wanted to get out once in January. I went back to a spot with an old house and garbage dump. I found a buckle and what appears to be a drawer pull for an old curved front dresser. But, I am scratching my head over what appears to be an alpha shank...

    Last hunt before the white death

    Got out for a day before the white death arrived. We have over a foot of snow on the ground now and it doesn’t look like it’s going to thaw off before the end of January. More snow forecast for tonight. 😕 So, I used my set of Andres crayons to clean up the IHC I found. Before and after...

    Time to get the lead out

    Out of the ground that is… 😏 I posted this in the daily finds forum, but somebody else recommended I repost it in the Civil War forum. Our club recently obtained permission to go back to a site we visited earlier this year with an abundance of Civil War bullets. This is near a known Union...

    Time to get the lead out

    Out of the ground that is… 😏 Our club recently obtained permission to go back to a site we visited earlier this year with an abundance of Civil War bullets. This is near a known Union camp. So these bullets would not have been derived from a battle but probably just goofing off or target...

    Trigger guard or scissor fragment?

    I think the title pretty well summarizes it. Ideas? The “tongue“ is not straight but deviates to the left.

    A button kind of day-Thanksgiving update

    Over Thanksgiving weekend I was able to go back to a site where I found about 20 flat buttons (including some Tombacs), an 1822 large cent, and an old farm or communion token. Once again, I didn’t find much in the field except for the small area where all the old stuff is located. This time, I...

    I found … Mount Rushmore!

    Well, at least a souvenir pressed penny depicting Mount Rushmore… I headed back to a site I have hunted once. There was an old school here, and the owner gave me permission to hunt down the road too. There was a nice nail bed at the second property which got my attention, but I think it has...

    Pumpkin carving

    Happy Halloween everyone! My kids carved the headless horseman and Snoopy this year. I did the starship Enterprise.

    A button kind of day - update

    I made it back out to the site where I have found almost a dozen flat buttons (including one Tombac), some lead farm or communion tokens, and an 1822 large cent. The buttons just keep on coming. No coins this time, but another half dozen buttons including another Tombac (small), and a white...

    New site (for me), old finds

    Went out to a new local I read about in an old book. I figured I would knock on some doors and see if I could get some new permissions. One of the local residents gave me permission to hunt an old school. Of course, I brought my detector along just in case…😁 I thought my first find of the...

    A bit of trash...

    I have had my D2 for about a year and a half and have been a little lax in cleaning out the trash bag I keep in the trunk. I don’t normally post many pictures of my trash so here it is all in one fell swoop. Of course there was more I dropped in available trash bins whenever my pouch would get...

    A button kind of day - update

    I had an opportunity to go back to the place where I had found around nine buttons dating from the late 1700s to early 1800s. This is a fairly small area in a good sized field. I hunted around the perimeter of where I had hunted earlier and did not find much at all. So I decided to go back...

    Not the bed of nails for which I was looking…

    I was playing around with some online LIDAR imaging. The LIDAR image showed an old road and structure where none exist currently. The 1912 topo shows a structure in the area. So, with phone in hand, I headed out to see if I could find the nail bed for the old structure. I was cycling between...

    Here’s the scoop:

    Literally, an ice cream scoop… I can’t complain. I went to a “new to me“ local beach. Judging by the parallel tire (equipment) tracks back and forth, lack of foot prints, and cut roots at the edges, the local park had just graded the beach. For some reason, they graded it in a washboard...

    A button kind of day

    I went out and found the property corner pins for a relative and had some time left over. I have hunted a nearby fallow agricultural field before but found pretty much nothing. Of course, it was mostly waist-high at the time. Since the field was just mowed for hay, I took another shot at it...

    Old flat button

    I was back out to a Civil War site this last weekend, and found what appears to be an omega shank flat button. From what little I know about buttons this may date it to post-1800? I have been carefully trying to clean the back and can make out GOOD(Y?) ??(U?) ? (BE?)ST (L or I)(O?)N(N or V?)...

    Mining for lead

    These are finds from two days of hunting at the same site. I had never found a Civil War bullet and always wanted to. I thought perhaps I might someday find one or two, but I never imagined I would find this many. With all the iron grunts, I was using the Tekkna program with the 11x13 on my...

    My best coin ever!

    I recently obtained permission for my club to hunt a sizable piece of property with historical group usage going back over 100 years. Over 40 of us showed up on the designated day. I heard several people say their first signal of the day was a silver dime! By the afternoon, I was getting a...
