Update at bottom in form of comment👇
had this marked as a potential site, from searching around my area on lidar. Did some more research on it last week. I also drove by to realize it was public property, so I went out there yesterday early afternoon and stayed until dark. It’s a lot bigger...
Hi everyone,
I have 8 buckles here, 1 small bell, a ring and (probably) a sewing tool. My question is wether you guys have any idea what these items are worth, how old they are and what the buckles are for (schoulder type, shoe buckle, ..), what they served for back in the day. There is one with...
Found this buckle frame near an historic farmhouse in Hunterdon county, NJ. The dimensions are 85mm x 50mm. There doesn't appear to be any design. Any insights as to type (shoe buckle?) and age would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
At last we”ve gone to the dark side nd hung up our little yellow Garretts nd brought the Deus 😎…
With some trepidation we set off and soon hit our stride.. my first Deus dig produced a little musket ball! Nice! Lots of buttons, lead weights, buckles, bits of lead, other bits of metal,(?) a...
Because we can’t resist and the digging conditions are perfect atm, we went out this evening to finish the fields we have been doing this week.
This gold button was my last dig as the light was fading I saw the gold nd nearly dropped my pointer, ok so not a coin, but it sure is pretty. The...
Hello! Been a long, long while since I've posted...does anyone even remember me??? Lol haha. Anyways...I've been doing more yard sale hunting/re-selling then detecting this year. Made some killer finds and big chunk a change.
Only detected a few times this year which I now regret. Will be going...
Hi there everybody, been awhile since I?ve posted. And I have a bunch of finds I need to identify. And have always been blown away from the knowledge of this community. All these finds are from the same abandoned village. It was a bustling community when it was the main road between towns from...
I had the pleasure of detecting a property situated on the frontlines of the civil war battlefield today. I found some interesting buckles and Id love to know more about them. If you have any information on what they went to, let me know. Ex. Belt, gun sling, bags, etc! I want to find the exact...
I finally got permission to detect an early 1800's farmhouse today. Apparently one of the former owners thought it would be cool to "plant" his beer cans on the property--probably at the very spot he finished off the contents. And he must have finished off quite a few--they were everywhere...
Hi All,
I know its a little out of the norm for the community but I need help in identifying/dating an artifact for the purposes of dating a burial we excavated in NC. Don't worry, not grave-robbing (nothing is being sold/everything is being repatriated). We were contacted by the descendants...
Hello friends,
John found an hour to detect today in the Rev War area on his property. He found a nice thimble, another tiny buckle, a pretty cool old key, and some sort of decorative and very delicate leaf-design "thing." ;-). Our one item that we have a question on is the long rectangular...
Hi friends, hope you all are well.
John found some goodies the other day, including the tiniest buckle in the world, ha ha. Also a 1902 "V" nickel, a larger brass buckle, a couple of buttons, and a gorgeous pineapple decorative piece with what looks like clip on the back, as if it was worn by...
Hi everyone,
I'm going to post a bunch of items we have unearthed over the past month via metal detector on my brother's 1683 four-acre property (a one-time tavern with blacksmith, farrier, 60-stable barn, Revolutionary War campsite(?), schoolhouse). We have found so many buttons, rosettes(?)...
Hello, all. I have enjoyed the photos on this site for a couple of years now. Forgive me for lurking and in advance for any newbie breaches of forum etiquette. I have gathered quite a few "treasures" over my years, but very little official knowledge as far as identification for a lot of them. I...
