Well a far as I'm concerned I DID it!!

The hubby bought us a new to "us" hot tub, we needed a ditch to run the elecrtical. What a a era of finds. I put one in what is it, Ty said I had to use "cool" instead of "pretty" so both guys and girls would get it.

We found some pottery, bottle tops, arrow head shards, a wide range of COOL nails . Ty said the thin lead piece is an old rubberband that hardeened . A what is it that is soaking and showing some red and goldish color has a pin for a backing / We did get a heartbreaker of a drill, and what I am told by a few to be a ROSETTE! YES!!!!!! Finally a pretty cool find!

Wow, all those artifacts from digging a ditch, maybe it is time for you and the boys to practice and "archaelogical type" dig in that area, then suggest the swimming pool!

The flower rosette or whatever it is has to be considered the beautiful artifact find of the year for you~ Without a doubt prettier than the nails :P

Super on another Indian artifact from the property, I'm sure there is more to come from your land over the years ahead.........

Don, honestly my "best" finds have come from my yard. With the history here.......I could detect for years and never clean those cool old nails out!

I have not found an exact match, but I am leaning towards Rosette. I could be wrong. But ........the first 3 that saw it said Rosette, including one in person, and I trust him. and the others.

I've had a decent year for whole or mostly whole points and tools, NICE!

Been a fun year for treasure hunting anyways.

Re: Well a far as I'm concerned I DID it!!

By the way......nails have history too.

Nails in their crudest form date back to 3000 B.C. The Romans hand-forged them and they have been found in excavations and sunken ships from the period 500 A.D.

When our ancestors first stepped from the Mayflower onto that soil that was to become Plymouth County, they discovered a soil which was essentially sandy and difficult to cultivate. As they plowed for their fist crops, they noticed that the earth yielded small deposits of crude iron ore mixed with the ooze of the swampy regions. From this ore and with crude smelters, they separated the metal from the ore and began the fashioning of nails and metal tools they had left behind then when they sailed into the unknown.

Cooking utensils, shipfitters hardware, nails and wagon treads grew from this ore dug in the swamps where the cranberries grow today. As the Massachusetts Bay Colony grew, the residents of Wareham were able to supply newcomers with nails for their homes. The nail industry had been born.


The original factory was established by Issac and Jared Pratt in 1819 on the site of an old cotton mill which had been shelled and burned by the British in the War of 1812. Known originally as Parker Mills Nail Company, it later became known as the Tremont Nail Company. The first cut nail machines appeared during the late 1700's and the first machine to cut and head a nail in one operation was invented by Ezekiel Reed of Bridgewater, Mass.

The present nail factory has about 60 nail machines and was completed in 1848. Among those who managed the business in the early days are men whose names are famous throughout New England: John Avery Parker, William Rodman, Charles W. Morgan, Bartlett Murdock, Benjamin Fearing, William Caswell, Horace Pratt Tobey and William A. Leonard.

For almost 200 years, the company has achieved a reputation for skilled nail cutting that has made its product readily saleable throughout the markets of the world. Through all the changes and the hurried pace of modern industry the same product is still being produced for customers who prefer the superior holding power and durability of this time-tested nail

For all Hubbie's troubles
pay back will be the bubbles

Oh the history of the nail
everyone tells a tail.

For a relic hunter a must is a nail
of your site they tell a tale

they used to make them by the hand in the day
a site like this is old and I must stay

if there are no nails, straight or bent, full of rust and crust
take your detector, and leave this ste in the dust!
