I like the variety you found. I've never found one of those old tavern pipes. Nice finds!

I have also found a Civil War button (Union). It's a great site because of the variety (NA, Colonial, Rev.War & CW) - also, it's spectacularly beautiful and tranquil. I take my kayak in the warmer months.

Are there recommended books for this type of treasure hunting? My area was also rich with native American history, and I would love to learn how you all do this. These are beautiful!

Do you mean the arrowheads? Yes, there are books. I found it helpful to see the pictures of artifacts when I first started looking. There are also people on YOUTUBE that you can watch searching and finding artifacts in fields and creeks. You can pick up some tips on where to look. Around here just about everything has an Indian name and there were villages all over the place. You can do a search for Indian villages in your area and see what comes up. It's a start.

Thank you. Any youtube channels in particular you would recommend to watch, or to stay away from?
And yes, I meant the arrow heads. I know they are probably mundane examples to most, but I am intrigued by them. As a complete newbie to the hobby, all of the examples I see are beautiful.

Eyes only. I've never done metal detecting. The button was resting at the waterline.

I like to watch Rocks Cousteau. He is in Ohio and finds some beautiful stuff. I like him because he talks about how he finds the arrowheads - what to look for, why certain places are good spots. I just find him interesting. I've seen others but this is the only person I watch. He also metal detects. He has a couple episodes that are "How to" info that he put up within the past few months.

Thanks! I have been focusing my energy thus far on just watching metal detecting videos when on Youtube. I will give them a try.
