Thanks man. It really is a great place. I’ll take anyone that wants to go lol. Dad found a sword hilt, dog tags, bullets cut onto chess pieces...all kinds of stuff. He is huge into research and has all these old maps showing house sites, etc. Very helpful. I’m heading out this weekend again if the weather holds. Sometimes you have to hunt a site several times before you find anything... but there have been days where we find nothing but mosquitos and the like.
Do you have a pinpointer? Not necessary, but very helpful.
This thread has been like a breath of fresh air!

Yes.
I have the orange Garrett Pin Pointer. Makes things 100 times easier.

I use an Equinox 800 and a Nokta Makro Simplex. I have found some interesting stuff here in Stillwater. Old Fire Dept Badge pre 50’s. Some bullets from the land rush campgrounds and a few weeks ago I hit a contestant’s badge from the 1941 US Open . Crazy how it got here when the tournamnent was in Ft Worth.

That is probably the best collection I’ve seen. Great finds.
I have a Whites Eagle Spectrum and used to hunt a lot when I lived in south Louisiana. My best find was a piece of LA colonial coinage that was made between 1811-1815. There was a shortage of coinage in LA at the time so a bank took some Spanish reales, divided them into eighths, and counter stamped them with the bank’s initials. You could even see the markings on the reale. I found it near Donaldsonville and gave it to state archeologists.
If I still lived there, I’d take you up on the offer to hunt that GA plot!
It’s a great hobby and addictive.
