I had one hour to hunt after work today before dark, had nowhere to go but the same place I've been beating up for the past 4 years. The safari screamed silver with a good solid 38 hit. 4 inches down was this beautiful lady staring me in the face!!

Wow. I'm still in lala land after finding this. I'm at Diggin In Virginia and it was a long, tiresome day of digging a ton of iron and a few bullets. Around 2 I headed to another field where I had previously found my US box plate. On my way through the first field I picked up a small mule shoe that someone dug and left beside the hole. This must have been my lucky horse shoe because about 2 hours after that I had a beautiful CS confederate tongue at about 6 inches down.

I knew it was a tongue when I pulled it out, but was floored to see CS staring back at me. It was a lot of hard work up...

Hey Everyone! Im still pretty speechless but I was able to get out to one of my favorite spots this evening. The owner gave me permission to do a goat pasture that sits right next to his house so thats where I darted to first. At the far corner of the pasture I got a decent hit on the T2 and out popped this 1789 George Washington Linked States Button!!!!!!!! The realist in me assumed that it was just a nicely decorated dandy but after closer inspection I saw GW and long live the president around it....My heart just about stopped!! I was less than a quarter mile from home so I...

Back in January I found what I thought was a once in my life time find. A 1932 gold 10 Guilder coin. This morning I went out and found a few junk earrings and a couple coins. Then I came across this signal that reminded me of the gold earring I found the other day. I thought what the heck. What I saw in the scoop was yet another gold coin. A 1911 gold Sovereign! Relatively in the same area as the previous coin. Now I'm wondering how these coins got there. Thanks for looking and good luck out there!

WOW......... Dad & I spent 4 lovely hours in the sun on the same field as yesterday.
This was our last shot on here before the crop would start to show, so it was a 1 hit weekend!
The hotspot we found yesterday had been gridded out, so on a hunch we skipped loads of runs & started higher up the slope.
I was happy enough with Dad's 1921 Florin which hardly ever show up, but what was to follow was amazing....

My hunting partner, Buck, got us on the site of an old building from ca. 1830 that had been torn down. I found this buckle behind where the building stood. There were known Confederate and Union troops that camped in this area at the end of the CW.

I have looked at several books on buckles and so far come up with nothing. Closest I come is in "Plates and Buckles of the American Military 1795-1874" by Sydney C. Kerkisis. On pages 10, 11, 12 there are buckles show of similar design but the belt loops are not the same. And those buckles are Infantry, Artillery and generic service...

1600's Spanish 8 REALES COB!, KG III Halfpenny, 1773 VA Halfpenny, Pewter Spoon Bowl

What a beautiful day! Low tide was at 9am so I headed out around 8 in hopes to catch it at it's lowest so I could dig around in the muck close to where I located a potential trash pit last week. When I got to the gate that leads to the field I ran into a member of the hunt club that hunts on the property. He was there trimming some orchard trees and offered to give me a ride the site which is over a mile and a half down the old colonial road. He told me he metal detected as well and had hunted...

C.S.A. Atlanta Arsenal Rectangular Buckle Found 2-22-14!



I found this a week ago today hunting near an old house in Northeast Georgia. Steve Mullinax authenticated it for me on 2-26-14 and it is simply incredible to now own this buckle. If you'd like to see a vid of the find my YouTube channel is "graysondigger" I also submitted the find to Garrett for find of the month. (A "sacrificial dagger" got it) GARRETT ADDED ME AS A CO-WINNER FOR THEIR FOTM ON 3-19-14!)...

In an area where I was two years ago , was very surprised to find fragments of pottery dating from the Bronze Age and a beautiful bronze battle ax dating from the XVI-XIII centuries B.C.This type of ax belongs of Wietenberg culture (was a Bronze Age archeological culture in Central Transylvania , Romania , and it's name was coined after the eponymic Wietenberg Hill near city of Sighișoara). Also on top of a small height , I found an old chain system for hanging the metal pot (kettle) for cooking and/or boiling over an open fire.The way it was...
