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 sβ¦

Research on the partial silver knife I found was informative.
Mark on the knife is βJONES, LOWS & BALLβ. 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.

Does anyone going to this event build display cases? I work at a cabinet shop and have milled down wood of all species if anyone would like me to bring a box for them
I'll bring you a box of wood, this time of year when it gets warmer we end up throwing it away, most of us will burn it in pits or fireplaces in our houses for winter but come spring no one wants any so we trash it. Even if you use it to burn its being put to better use than the trash.

Glad the weather is shaping up. Looking forward to meeting fellow detectorists and swinging some promising ground. Trying to have few if any expectations, but always hoping for the best. It's going to be a kick ass ride. Best of luck to everyone. Stay safe on your trip to NC. See you there.

Looking forward to my first digstock. Flying in from Texas a day early so I can go visit Gettysburg and then head to Roanoke Rapids. I'm looking forward to a great weekend and meeting a lot of new people.
Gary, what did you find at your first Digstock? Did they give you maps of where land markers were on the land or just give you a map of the boundaries?
