Good Luck & Happy Hunting 😎👍🏼

I hope everyone had a good time at Digstock XII! I know my detecting buddies and I did! It was great to see some old friends and finally shake hands with some people I've only chatted with online!

On Sunday we decided to pick a field near headquarters so we could get some close parking incase it started to rain. A detectorist at the tent was telling me about 2 guys who had dug up 4, half cut peices, of Spanish reales in the field next to headquarters the evening before. I mentioned it to Matt and he confirmed it! So Jeff and I grabbed our gear and headed for the supposed area. We started looking for a iron patch and found some, not much, but some iron. We found a couple of broken shoe buckle frames and we knew we were close. A little after a hour or s…

Research on the partial silver knife I found was informative.

Mark on the knife is “JONES, LOWS & BALL”. This mark was used by a silver retailer who commissioned well known Boston Smiths to produce under their name. This specific mark was used between 1839-1846. It is coin silver, 90%. Maybe one of my most interesting finds.

Had a great time and look forward to the next one.

... so far!

See y'all in a few hours for the last day of Digstock XII!!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow, and safe travels home afterwards!

See ya at the next big one 😉👍🏼
