Summerduck Va Finds from old house site

JC dig's · May 1, 2008

Had a few hours the other day and decided to head to the spot where I found my Barber dime last week. Started out right around the where the new house is located (because I'm not exactly sure where the old house sat). I went about twenty yards and dug this eagle anchor button at about four inches deep ! I got excited and kept going and started digging various other items some trash some not so I know I must close to where I need to be. The other items are a bent up flat button an eagle button and a pocket watch frame. After I left there I went back to my house and thought experiment with the settings on my Xlt and found this sharps. All in all a pretty good day...I hope my drought is over, thanks for looking..

JC, some great finds!
My time on the beach netted me a few mutilated pennies and two pulltabs....dangit...
Oh well, I am glad that someone is having a better bit of luck than me.
I think I am going to find a beach that is less beat to heck by the ocean than the one I was just on....you could hardly recognize the pennies!...looks like the beach sand is untouched from a rough winter, has not been groomed out yet for the summer season...

I'll be sure to drink a few beers for you fellow diggahs there at the ol' 25 house.....that, and some nice fresh seafood!

be good and be safe...Nice finds, the button is BOSS..

PS, any suggestions on good beaches to hunt in the Duck area?

DG,
If you're trying to hunt in Duck, you're too late. My brother was just down there last week and hunted it all out!!!

I would try going north, hit some of the volleyball courts and play areas at the parks/community centers. The beaches have been hit pretty hard all winter and haven't had the season to replinish. If you can, hit the same area where we stayed in February and dug like crazy!!! There was TONS of stuff there.

Good Luck.

Oh yeah, keep an eye on here later tonight, hopefully my brother will post what he found last night!!!! :thumbsup:

Those are some nice buttons, looks like you got yourself another good place to hunt. I am glad to see the ole' yard is still giving up some lead!!!
