Top Treasure Finds

Went back to the fields with my Whites MXT while my DFX is being repaired. Forgot just how sensitive the MXT is when its cranked all the way up. Walking along the edges of the fields a weak high-low broken signal. I took an 8 inch divet out and scanned the hole, a loud high signal, it was still in the hole. I thought soda can slaw. Another 8 inches it was out of the hole. I used my pin pointer to knock away the dirt and I couldn't believe my eyes, lettering as clear as day, picture time. I pulled it from the pile and immediately started talking to myself, I think I was answering myself...

Got out with some buddies and we found a 5 acre field that was full of colonial buttons, I dug 32 myself. One of my friends got lucky dug a rare GW cuff button. I'll try to get a pic of it real soon, it's a rare one. Another friend dug a rev war button like mine and another dug a britsh 16th rgt and another dug a 60th . They went back today and got a rev war South Carolina 6th rgt. Here's mine. This button was lost by a member of the 1st South Carolina continental army and is called a dogbone one, as you can tell by the way the number 1 looks. This unit was qrganized in the summer of 1775...

Today, I only had a few hours before dark to detect so I went back to the spot that I found trime yesterday! I had been gold panning so I was completely soaked up to the waist and partially up my back from the creek water. I detected about 30 minutes and they got completely dark but I was all the way at the back of the field so I decided to stay for a few more minutes and I'm sure glad I did! I got a repeatable coin signal...

I managed to find one of my best ring finds ever. Yes they are real...all 42 of them...18KT also.

I went to my first ever Diggin' in VA the past three days.... had a blast! Days 1 and 2 were spent digging a ton of bullets .... carved bullets... enfields... pistol bullets.... J hooks... buttons.... and an 1859 IH. All great items! But to be honest, I was hoping for one super good item to set it over the top.

Well... I got it on Saturday. After two dry days Saturday started with rains imminent, and me wondering how long I would hunt with my $5000 non-waterproof GPX5000 sealed up with a $.35 cent ziplock bag and duct tape! I had already decided that my son would keep...

I have not been posting much lately, this is down to searching for new land and the finds I have been making have been very sparse. But I think I might have found a decent area at last.
High on my wish list of finds has been a Saxon Penny and on Saturday I finally found one, these coins are struck on a large flan, usually about 20mm and usually cracked or damaged in some way...as is this one, although it's at the better end with all the legend. The coin is that of Eadgar, or sometimes spelled Edgar.

All I...

Hello all,
Found today a seated freakin' dollar. 1878 s mint. All I can say is never thought. I did hit it with the digger but you know what?.....It's still a seated. Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!

I got very lucky yesterday morning. Found the plat band with small diamonds first and knew I better look a little harder for the second piece and about six feet away I got the other one which is also platinum with approx 2ct solitare diamond. All stones tested real and will have appraised this weekend. Just so happens today was my wifes birthday so you know where the rings are!

Went on a trip overseas and found what could be my best find ever..... 1.45ct diamond solitare with 14 full cut diamonds down the side. 14kt. $16,097.76 replacement cost that is not figuring in the designer name brand that cost the buyer an additional 30% which tags this as an over $20,000 ring.
WOW what a find..... I guess the 10,000 pulltabs and 8000 bottlecaps do pay off to dig.
Funny thing is I went to a beach that morning and flooded out my favorite red head excal then went back to the room, tore it down and washd it off with alchohol then dried it out, pt together my back up and...
