I think you are talking about metal detecting, right? I have done my share. I concentrate on the early American Forts around the 1780 to 1830 period. Have come up with some interesting early material relating to the US Military of those periods.

i happen to live near the site of an old british fort (erie, pennsylvania) and ive done a bit of digging here. i find indian arrowheads all the time and even some lead shot from the site of fort leboeuf.

i also dug up an assault badge in the dirt basement of an old house in frohnau, berlin that i posted pictures of on another thread.

I Metal detect alot! All I can detect right now are old 1800's logging camps. I want to detect in Europe very very bad! It's been a life dreem of mine, but I don't have the money. But I'm only 18 so I have alot of time to save


One day I WILL go to Europe!

Any good find.

At the logging camp? So far just some real old nails, a fork, a spoon and part of a saw blade.

Chris,

I Relic Hunt in Virginia, primarily the Northern Shenandoah Valley. A lot of Revolutionary and Civil War artifacts in this area, also non-metallic Indian artifacts if you're a good eyeballer. Hope to talk to you sometime.
