George Kinsey

Thanks friend. In my day I was fortunate to find over one hundred such plates. Keep digging.

Saved a few for my Grandson.

I wish I had all of my finds. What I post now started in 2007. These were found as recent as three days ago. Keep watching my friend.

My pleasure Steve.

The Army that never was. Used as Trade Items. Two were found near my home.

From a colonial field.

Thanks Rod.

I love confederate buttons.

Thanks Steve. I will test this out. Regards

They call me The Buttondigger in Virginia.

Have not been up there yet. The real problem is not so much the red clay but the bedrock. When the bedrock gets close to the surface it has a negative effect on VLF detectors. I have a large piece down in the garage. When you place a good target on it and sweep it turns the signal to iron. I will try to locate it and test the Changer . The next time I go up to Culpeper. I will do a few tests. Regards

That's a George the Third Spade Guinea Token.

Looks like a spade ?

Your welcome Steve. Shock and Awe on the way.

Culpeper is not far from my home. I hunt the red dirt . Hang onto that GPX. I have been testing the "Changer" in site conditions similar to yours. Glad it's working for you. Good report.

Those coins get in the way of the Relics I'm after. Life is tough here in Virginia. There are gold mines within 5 miles of my home. I found a large piece of Quartz with a lot of gold in a civil war camp in Maryland. You can pan small specs in some streams. Thanks for the mention.

Yes until I got into some cut can slaw. If you dig all targets you have to expect some Rain on your Parade.

29 in the ground. Easy 8 inches deep.

Large cent, Indian Head and a Barber dime.

Let's do it again when time allows.

Thank you Sir.

I think a trained eye will see old patina inside the scratch. Not guilty. Case dismissed .

I'm very fortunate to hunt in colonial Virginia. Reales were legal tender into the 1850's. You will get one .

Some weekend Inspiration.

Thank you Sir.
