    Old Goodies found with Watercolor and Kimsdad

    These are the oldest things I have ever found. Trade beads, Trigger Guard, British flint, lead shot, Thimble, Bell, buttons, and other things. Went with Watercolor and Kimsdad about 2 weeks ago and had a great time. Lots of nails. While I was digging a nail I found what I thought was a part of my detector. Looked like plastic! Wasn't... was a British flint! In the same hole a small blue bead. Started digging some more in the area and found more beads. Thank you Neal and Mark.

    That spot was some fun!!!

    Congrats on all the great finds!!!

    I found some really cool stuff there, but you've got me a little envious! That pot hook, flint, trigger guard, and iron point are great, and you killed on the beads!

    I'm envious for sure, but really glad you got some of the good stuff!

    Nice job!
    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!

    I didn't know if you researched the trade beads or not - I found some info:
