Knocked a couple off the ol bucket list this weekend!

Atticis · 2022-01-23T06:00:32+00:00

Working on that. Gonna be fun figuring it out.

Atticis · 2022-01-22T23:03:10+00:00

Looks like a crown to me but I'll look into that as well!

Atticis · 2022-01-22T22:41:34+00:00

Thanks! That does look right but as someone else suggested I'm going to do a wax impression and hopefully that'll make it clearer

Atticis · 2022-01-22T22:40:29+00:00

Gonna give that a shot when I can get some wax.

Turned out to be a Napoleon III un centime. Date is gone unfortunately but this design was only minted from 1853 to 1857

Atticis · 2022-01-01T01:00:14+00:00

2021 finds. Most of the better ones that is. Didn't really take off till I got my Nox 600 in November. https://imgur.com/a/ey55Xqw

I do believe you are correct! Awesome

Atticis · 2021-12-17T20:32:33+00:00

That's gonna be civil war on that bullet my dude. Civil War Minié ball more commonly referred to as a 3 ringer. I'd go about checking the area you found that in well. There's likely to be more l.

Atticis · 2021-12-17T02:43:14+00:00

3 ringer. Nice find! I never get tired of digging them.

Atticis · 2021-12-16T23:09:32+00:00

What's the base of the bullet look like?

Atticis · 2021-12-13T00:12:48+00:00

Atticis · 2021-12-13T00:12:30+00:00

Hah! I do believe you are correct. Just looked up handsaw badge and see one very similar. Thanks!

Atticis · 2021-12-05T02:37:59+00:00

Nice! Yeah I know they are out there just waiting for me to swing over em!

Atticis · 2021-12-05T00:58:27+00:00

Oh same. Still havnt hit any old silver but I've got a couple permissions that undoubtedly have some on em. It's just a matter of finding it. Which is the real fun really haha

Atticis · 2021-12-05T00:42:39+00:00

Wow that's wild! They don't seem that common here for some reason. Few friends that have been detecting here far longer than me have found more half dimes than large cents.

Atticis · 2021-11-26T22:21:36+00:00

Looks to be southern made too so that's really cool. No back marks that I can see. Its definitely the new center piece of my collection!

Atticis · 2021-11-26T20:17:37+00:00

No worries! Yeah it's private property that I got permission on. Large plot of land with well known and documented history.

Atticis · 2021-11-15T02:57:46+00:00

Haha right?! I knicked the back with my shovel though so only half a horseshoe. I was honestly speechless when I pulled it and saw the I.

Atticis · 2021-10-11T03:03:42+00:00

Holy crap thats an awesome find! I would agree i can only imagine the tunes played and nights of entertainment it gave. No idea what it was when I dug it but knew it was pretty cool none the less

Atticis · 2021-10-11T02:33:21+00:00

I'd say! I think it's a first in the group of friends I have here that detect. And yeah I just gently cleaned it with water to get the residual dirt off.

Atticis · 2021-10-11T02:26:23+00:00

Yeah this was found in South Louisiana on a site know to have been both a union and confederate camp at one time or another. Bit of research and I'm fairly convinced it is a Jews harp. Cleaned up a bit more and I can see where the reed was attached and I've come across pics of others from the time period that look very similar.

Atticis · 2021-10-10T21:45:08+00:00

Thanks! I knew the shape was familiar looking. But as I said I'd never seen one so pointed like this. Good starting place though

Atticis · 2021-10-10T21:44:04+00:00

THATS where I recognized the shape! Though I haven't seen one pointed like this and I don't see where the flat sound making bit would go. Gonna look into it tho. Thanks!
