Top Treasure Finds

Although I had been out detecting often enough, my finds so far this year had come slowly - a trickle off several corroded coppers over the past few months and a worn-out Barber dime. One of the coppers found a few weeks ago was particularly bittersweet; it was a 1795 or 1797 Liberty Cap half cent with lettered edging. Sorry - I didn’t have the heart to post it. Mother Nature and long exposure to New England’s acidic soil had done its worst to Ms. Liberty. Despite my best hopes, the corrosion was too much.

On my last outing, I made one stop at an old mill site that offered...

Hi everyone,

I haven’t been very active lately but I do look at the finds dug and posted here! I just found something that just have to share with all of you! I was out with Buckleboy who is my husband, and I managed to dig this lovely 1876-S dime! I had never dug an S mint coin so this was my first.



(Buckleboy wasn’t finding anything the whole day long ). It was a long day in some pretty brutal heat. When I got back to the truck I was changing out of my boots and looked over and saw something gold...

TROY OZ. 14 KT CHAIN , 10 KT RING in the water with equinox 800

Hey folks my last post on here was way back in 2013 and sorry 4 being AWOL here. Life happens. Anyway I am in my 23rd year of relic hunting my REv WAr site here in Maine . U may remember me for posting a silver shoe buckle frame I found on the beach that once belonged to Cpt John Hinkley . On the 16th of May was working a hot spot that has produced much American ordnance . Google 'Trask Rock" for a 8 minute video of history in Castine , Maine. Had a great day with finding 4 large grape shot. Spent 5 hours on the hunt and happy with the results. Just dug a pull tab some other THer had left...

Decided to take another shot at finding an 1862 dot in the park woods. What is interesting about this dot is that it disappears on the 1872 map and the aerials in the 1900’s show nothing but woods. I had tried a couple of times with my old detector with nothing but an occasional shotgun shell head stamp.



Today I wandered in the same area and got 2 quick cuff flat buttons and a partial big tombac button. These were really small 11-12 signals with the Nox.

A couple big rifle casings and...

My friend Buddy and I stumbled on a spill of 1700’s spanish coins. I dug 17 cut reales and Buddy dug 5 for a total of 22 in 2 days. We also dug buttons, buckles and more. The second pic shows the three cut pieces of eight that I found. i dont think we will be beating that anytime soon! For the videos check out gigmaster on youtube.

Wow! Is all I can say. Was invited back
by my generous host to hunt the Pa farm once again before farmer plants crops. We speculate this area was once part of the Gettysburg campaign 1863 with all Federal and Confederate buttons and plates that we have all dug. No Reb buttons or plates today but my Nox 800 did sniff out a solid lock on 12 signal at about 4-5 inches in depth. After careful pinpointing and popping the plug I thought for sure I had a Jefferson nickel !�� Boy was i pleasantly surprised to be looking at a small gold colored coin with a...
