Hello fellow treasure hunters. I was in about 25ft of water. The bottom was sand and I wasn't expecting much. I found 1 musket ball and them BAM! There she was. One 2 hand sweeps and it was staring at me. I rubbed it and saw the GR. My best find so far.

American Gold Miner's Buckle

Hi All


History Miner's Diary September 1852 Victoria Australia


"The three of us ,having agreed to combine for a trail of the Mt Alexander Diggings , we purchased a cradle ,large tent and tools, and provisions for two months, and gave a teamaster $20 to convey the lot to Fryer's Creek We tramped up with the waggon , making the trip in five days. On reaching Fryer's Creek we found that place crowded and gold being got in large quantities, but we fancied the good ground was all occupied, and, hearing that many were going to Cambell's Creek , we...

I Believe this will be (1 ) of my Favorite Finds after Detecting for 30 Years. I am a Beach Hunter and use a Minelab Excalibur with an 8 inch Coil and a Babbs Scoop. I went back to My Hot Spot From May 2013, another Posting soon for Finds of 2013 In the Display Case Flat Buttons on the Left and Coins are on the Right. All of these were found on May 20,2014

Back to my pals old property and found had a signal close to this pot.
I had previously picked up lots of surface bottle finds so moved this out of the way to use the pinpointer - but the signal had gone

Looked inside and saw what turned out to be coins!!!!

Will try to clean these up a bit, the soil was packed quite hard inside.

Picture below show the pot (outside and inside) and the coins as found!:thumbsup...

Hey guys! Knocked the top right off my.wish list with this one. Previously I couldn't find an 1800's silver if my life depended on it, but man, did that change! So pumped lol. 1807 Spanish 8 Reale!!

I found this small hammered silver coin two weeks ago at an early colonial-period site dating back to the mid-1600’s. Located near Newport, RI, this productive site has offered up an Oak Tree shilling, two Spanish cobs, numerous coppers, buttons, buckles, seal spoon fragments, etc. over the past several years. For finding early colonial-period finds, this site is like Disney World for detectorists.

I was using the new 11” coil on my XP Deus when I got a high-toned signal. It gave a slight but consistent tone, though my machine couldn’t put any numbers to it. I cut and flipped a deep...

Wow, just got home and I'm still in shock! For the past year my buddy (car91rs) and I have been hitting the old city dumpsite and have found some pretty good stuff, from old Mexican coins, of one which was silver to a 1951 Benjamin half dollar, 1943 Walking liberty, 1900 barb half dollar, and a hand full of merc dimes and buffalo nickels, but today.... I have to say my machine proved me wrong. I had traded my T2 Ltd for my AT Gold after it came in defective and was promised that they would give me a new one only for them to tell me they changed the motherboard instead, for a while I was...

HEY GUYS AND GALS

Made it out for the day after not getting out for 6 or 7 days.... Cousin ED came along also.

Hit the woods to find some foundations ..... found 5 all together so was happy on that part.Cousin ED was finding bottles and some nice coins/pendants...nice old Brittania 1739.

Th bottle with the Fisherman holding the big codfish is awesome...we are fishermen so of course we love it !!!

Any ideas on his PENDANT with the portrait and the LION,S HEAD ??

The foundations were very trashy so I switched over to DISCRIM mode and sure enough I managed to separate out a cool...

I want to start by thanking Austin McCullough for his hosting me and Russ yesterday in Charleston...we hunted a spot of his and one of ours and came away with some real goodies...I'll take quality over quantity ANY day. So, I'll get right to it!

We were about to head out, Austin had already gone to the car and me and Russ were not far behind him...got one last choppy signal under a root. After digging around for a minute or two, I finally got the target out of the ground...my first reaction was all that work for a piece of scrap brass...picked it up and saw the hole, then the stamped...
