Hello... I have been relic hunting on and off for 15 years. Currently hunting w/ a DFX. I went out yesterday to a site that has produced for a few others.. my first time really hunting it.. Dug one Gardner, an Eagle Button and sword hanger among a bunch of trash. As I was leaving I dug a pretty strong signal, turned out to be a lead cask spigot in the middle of a sizable trash pit. I pulled out 26 intact bottles.. eye spotted another eagle button about 18" down while I was digging out the bottles!! I was in the middle of the bottle.. some above and some below. Also found two knives, a broken spoon and heel plate. The five squatty brown bottles are snuff bottles as identified in one of the relic books! The rest are cough syrup or bitters bottles.
The coins in the picture came form another spot.. two CN IH and a 1852 silver 3 cent piece.. my second this year!
So far for the year I have found a nice SNY buckle.. close to 100 bullets.. including 45 .69 three ringers.. 1 Flying Eagle, 7 CN IH, 2 Large Pennies, 12 Eagle Buttons and a Sutler Token. Almost all in the same spot. Might be a good year!!
