Top Treasure Finds

So yesterday afternoon was by far the best day of digging ive ever had. As I was leaving another site and to get out of the rain I decided to drive some south jersey back roads. I noticed a difference in a patch of forest so I stopped and prospected. Sttaight out of gate I was in a high iron patch and dug a flat button. Then the 12 43s started. First was a 1794 liberty cap quickly followed by a 1800 draped bust one cent. I lost track of which ones came after that but a total of 8 large coppers and one 1 reale was unearthed. Also dug were 7 or 8 flat buttons, buckle, iron relic and...

Just had a stroll in the local woods. Only digging high pitched signals, that way avoiding a lot of pain. Was pleased to find a pound coin, worth finding. Then no more than a few inches down, this. A lovely gold cuff link, both parts in the same hole. No hall mark, but a nice clear makers mark SH. Not sure of the age, but looks hand made. Robert.

After weeks of rain, I was dying to get out to sift. It seemed like bands of rain swept across the US every day for the last 2 weeks, so when the sun came out on Thurs, I was out the door. Sadly the soil was too wet and the grass waist high, so I just hunkered down in one small area to dig nails. Thurs was one of those hunts that started out amazing, with multiple bone pieces turning up early on, followed by a complete pontil bottle and the General Service button, which gave me the right attitude for digging nails for 5 hours. In all, on Thurs I dug exactly 100 nails and a few dozen...

Biggest 22k gold ring I've ever found!

Finally was able to get out to the beach after a long winter. Ice still on the lake but temperature today was 34c. I was working in the wet sand and got a nice crisp loud signal on my AT pro. Using the small 5/8 DD coil, I took a scoop,..still in the hole, and another scoop,..still deeper. I took 3 pretty deep scoops and then finally on the 4th scoop I had it, dumped it out on the side and when I scanned over, it blasted my ears ringing up a solid 79 on my AT pro. My heart was pumping when I seen that bright buttery yellow and the size of...

Wow. I've been preparing to write this since I found the coin, but I couldn't even concentrate enough to get my thoughts down, let anyone perform my professional or family duties. Let me set this up a little first though. During the course of the past few years, it has become an obsession for me to ponder the infinitesimal probability of finding of a MA tree coin on every property, park, beach, foundation or town square I drive by. When I saw Abe's incredible pine tree shilling a while back, the possibility seemed somehow more real. Here was a guy in what used to be part of...

fantastic 1640 8 reale cob found I'm massachusetts.

Did some door knocking today first house first permission was told have at it after a couple hours and an indian, a barber dime ,and a merc. I started swinging near where they had the gas line marked that seemed like it eas dug at an earlier time, about 4 to 5 feet from the line i got a booming hit at about 4 inches and this was it .Not sure if it's real or not but got my heart pumping about the size of a half dollar kinda heavy and why would there have been a hole in it then filled

The local park as produced so many coins, that gold had to eventually turn up. I was though expecting maybe a gold ring. When this 1890 queen Victoria gold sovereign, came gleaming from below the turf, I didn't complain. The signal just sounded like any copper coin. Robert.

I don't post that much anymore but I figured I had to post this one. Met up with a couple hunting buddies and forum members, Park pirate and Ed upstate at a local pounded park. Very tough to get anything out of there anymore. I guess the treasure gods were smiling down on me today cause I found a good one. After 20+ years and hundreds of Indian heads today was the day....
