Best insitu pictures.....

[Silver Searcher]

Over the years there has been some great pictures posted on Treasure Net of finds insitu or as you first put eyes on it , after a conversation I had with Kuger we thought it might be a good Idea to start a thread on it

Everbody can take part in this, pictures from past hunts, or from future hunts when you have one. Anything goe's within reason, (no pulltabs ) I will set things off with one you have seen many times...but my Best
It can also be none metalic..Like flints, Arrowheads finds

Let me say that this is one Wonderful topic! I LOVE seeing photos of dirt covered finds, almost as much as I love taking those photos, slowing down, and enjoying the moment when I see the find sitting there in the dirt. Thank you!

Since there's so many great finds already on this thread, I have to start with an Iron Brigade Spanish Silver theme:

Oh ..... Yes , YES ...,that moment ,..when you just KNOW ,....is just like SEX ,...maybe just a bit better when shared with some one else ,....or a group ....just say'n...

​

Flint , is a "Natural" for a insitu pic , from shore line to plowed field all good . Don't see much flint from your side of the pond , believe Shaun 7 found a nice Neolithic point awhile back ?? I do have a "nice little" collection of points , for the most part collected years ago , but have been out a few times in the past year or so , mainly to get some insitu shots with the digital camera , have some pre-digital pic's , but are of low quality . I would most like to get a insitu of a optical quartz point , fairly common find locally ,..they seem to be a bit of a crowd "pleaser" down in the American Indian Artifacts Forum ,... well in time , for sure !

Now , a nice green patina agenst some nice dark earth ,.. be it C.S. to Roman ,.. well doesn't get much better then that !
Silver ,...hmmm,..much tougher "subject" there I think ? The soil/ object contrast is a tough one,.. but there great when well exicuted , like the well detailed hammered piece in your original post here ,..well done !!
GOLD & DIRT ... now this realy works ... .... like your Stirrup ring , simple yet classic . Then your pic of the reeded edge of the gold sovereign ,.. not fully exposed , ... yet you just know !!

​

.82 gr. "Sun Baker"​

Did a post in one of the Au. forums some time ago called it "Au. insitu" , pic's of Gold Nuggets . Not all that uncommon sun bakers are nuggets that are just lay'n in the sun ,...Oh ,.. the sun IS typicly out here in Cali ,.. when we hunt .. . But there are many that just need a bit of dust blown off 'em . Kuger , posted the best of the "Au insitu" pic's with his under water shots from his Gold Dredging days ... O' lord thay where a beatiful sight !!
Anyway ,.. that's the way I see it ,... Blindpig

Pray tell why and I meant the second picture.

The only relic was the 3 ringer, the other is a button (unless they call a button a relic )
