While checking out a possible homesteading site we weren't finding much. Best relic was a copper oil lantern lid/wick adjuster jobby. Rest was junk from back country parties and fisherfolk. So, disheartened, I was kickin stones on the way back to the car when I spotted that unmistakable...

I return to the Family Homesite this time to Sift through the dirt looking for Family artifacts. Filmed in the Fall of 2019 we uncover a Chauffeur's pin that belonged to my Great Aunt Kathryn's husband William Ernest Thrower. The pin dates back to 1935-36 # 51927 from California. a little...

Found 4 possible buttons near an old dugout. Need help identifying. Thanks.

I feel like this isn't a common place one would want to detect, but I have good reason! My home was only built in 2002, so it's not old. It has had several owners in its short life and obviously some good stuff stored in the attic. Our first winter here we had a few mice scratching, so I went up...

Hi everyone, I went metal detecting with my Fisher F2 metal detector at a park in Palmerston North, New Zealand two weeks ago and found this unknown hood/bonnet ornament. I've tried Googling it and posting it on Youtube but so far no luck. People have thought that it is off a Vauxhall...

Found these chains at the site of an old courthouse/jailhouse near where I'm from. The police jury ceased all operations at the courthouse in 1880. The building was torn down and removed sometime around 1904. From everything that I've seen on the internet these could very well be prisoner...

OK, Relic Hunters, are you tired of searching the same old ground that everybody has been searching since the first detectorist used a Korean War surplus mine detector in the 1950's to present and the finds are scarce as hen's teeth? It's winter time and it's too damn cold to be swinging a...

I am originally from just outside of Richmond Virginia, so I am no stranger to metal detecting with the enormous potential of finding Civil War artifacts where I live. I just moved to Jacksonville FL for an engineering intern position, and I will be here for the next 5 months, then I will be...
