Hello everyone, new to the site and like what I see. I dive the rivers to detect. My favorite sites are Rev War era, but won't kick a Civil War era site out of bed! Here's two beauties I found a couple weeks ago. British 63rd Regiment coat button and a 174-something holed reale. Happy Hunting!
Will do, Joe. Thanks for the welcome. I have a very interesting spanish cobb I'll post tonight that I'd like some input on from the silver experts. Later
The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky.
Here's the 63rd cleaned. I soak these water found pewter buttons in olive oil for at least three days, keeping them wet until I get them home. The oil seems to replace the water in the corroded areas of the pewter, minimizing the cracking and flaking that occurs during drying. Just my theory anyway.
Det vi vet er så uendelig lite mot det som har hendt. Arkeologen er som den som går langs en strand og finner småtterier, skyllet i land fra et forsvunnet skib. Men selve skibet som gikk i dypet med menneskene får han aldri se.
I'm not sure there are many of us rev. war site hunters out there!?
That's all they are about here in smAlbany, NY. Saratoga, Tichonderoga, Lake George, Bennington. Lot's of troop movements from the French and Indain War through the CW here. Old commercial areas, swimming holes, and farms get overlooked by most (unless of course they were encampments). Scoping out two high traffic swimming hole/picnic areas this fall. We hope to find our version of Blockers Pond.
Never dove for treasure and Ive only been diving in freshwater three times. Twice in Deposit, NY, and once in Allentown, PA. I'de love to dive for treasure if anyone needs a dive buddy. I don't have an underwater detector though.

Swamp Fox: Welcome to TN! Couple of nice finds there! Maybe a close up of the coin would help identify it.
