So.... My buddy HomeGuardDan invited me down to do a little digging with him and his friend Bill D. (VA). It's been a while since we dug together and for some reason he forgot to tell me to leave my lucky horseshoe at home. I had a great hunt! Ended up with three cut silver coins (circa 1700's) and a really interesting gold cuff link with a huge stone from the same era. The stone doesn't look like the normal glass ones I find, so I have my fingers crossed! The gold coin rounds out the finds. Thanks Dan and Bill, you're both all right in my book. Let me know when my hunt ban is up!!!

Wow it looks like everybody has been inviting themselves to go hunt with you guys. :D Don't worry, I'm not gonna invite myself too. ;)

That is a Seriously good day. As much silver as we are digging down here, I know a gold coin day will come. Probably a $1 gold. Seems like too few of those are found, probably because they read so low. I know there are more of them out there, compared to the numbers of $2.50, $5, and $10 gold that get dug every year.

I am inclined to say that the Georgian era sleeve link is a paste stone. They did paste for gold and silver settings back then too. Will be interested in hearing what it is though, and I hope you'll update this thread with more information.

Congratulations on an Outstanding day!

Awesome afternoon, Congrats on the finds and let us know about the jewel. I haven't hit the dirt in over a year, time to buy another detector and start dreaming again.

Thanks for the banner votes everyone and all of the nice comments. Pretty neat stuff. I'll give an update when I find out about the stone. My fingers are crossed, but I'm not holding my breath...
