Wow awesome finds
 
Nice reward. What a haul.congrats and happy hunting.
 
Congrats! Awesome coins and relics. I really like the watch fob and the brass shotgun shell. I find the hulls from the old paper shells all the time, but I would love to find one of those complete brass ones!
 
Great video. A shame the large cent was all busted up. Not surprised you went back to dig the signal you gave up on. I've done the same thing several times. Every time I dig something from under a root it turns out to be something totally worthwhile. Two of my silver half dollars were under roots. Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
 
Can't do video here but looks like you had a great time from the finds picture !!
 
Awesome finds. Love the fob. Congrats.
 
Yes it is a shame but still cool finding a 200+year old coin.thanks for looking
 
loved it all, also the detail on the ring and that fob
 
that fob is 1 of my favorite relics from this hunt .. thanks for looking
 
Great digs, love the silver key
 
What a great day! I dream of finding a site to hunt that is that rich with coins and relics. Congratulations.
 
Thanks ..door knocking sucks but pays off

So true..
Great hunt..I'm jealous.
Just out of curiosity does that small buckle next to the spoon on the bottom say Hickory on it?

I will take a look at it and let you know
 
Thanks I know it's an obscure little thing but I happen to have found a couple that looked just like it

unfortunately there are no markings on either one of the clips. How old do you think they are I was thinking late 1800 s early 1900 s
 
That's exactly the time frame of the site I found mine.
I think they are from overalls
In fact a lot of the stuff looks nearly identical I also found a couple Barber dimes and V nickles.
I would go back over that area several times from different directions
