Best of Texas...

[Tejaas]

This is the 3rd installment of my attempt at bringing the Texas MD'ers a bit closer.

Post up pictures of your all time FAVORITE FIND!

Specifics of locations not necessary or expected, perhaps we can all agree a county name will suffice?

The only rule is it had to be found within state lines!!!

I've found lots of good stuff....hard to say what's best..
I'm gonna go with some splashed 3 ring minie balls I found in the area of a post CW feud. I'm actually hunting a cache there, but those bullets are central to the story. My next favorite find will be the gold cache! Someday...

Best recent find after returning to the hobby is a well worn 1923 Peace Dollar found in Harris county where an 1930's era post/beam house was torn down. This was under where the raised back porch had stood.

Diggin-N-Dumps,

I really enjoy seeing your TX-themed finds... completely different than what I'm digging up, but still has that feel of "history" mixed with "home".

Killer find, man!

The wife is swinging an F-2 and I'm using my AT Gold. We live on some acreage, out in the country, and basically have been MDing on our place and our daughter's place next to us. Many head stamps (old and newer), some brass from fired cartridges, old license plates from the 50's, a few coins, an old pocket knife, and from an old homesteader's site on the daughter's place, utensils and pieces of utensils around the now buried foundation stones. Sorry, I don't know how to post pics.

I don't know much about hunting within city limits - but i've always heard San Antonio is pretty strict.

Here is a list i managed to chase up of the city parks that can be detected in - but apparently you must have a permit.

Thanks for the help I'll guess I'll just leave my metal detector home and just enjoy the vacation
