    I don’t know if most people think about finding personal relics. Yeah, I’d love to find gold coins or maybe a Lord Baltimore coin, the reality of metal detecting is that we find stuff. Rings are my personal favorite because of the intimacy of the item with the owner, they wore it everyday. Buttons are rarely decorated unless it’s a bored creative colonist with a knife and hammer. Those buttons followed the owner through their day to day lives and I’ll take buttons over pull tabs or shotgun shells

    Buttons and rings are two of my favorite finds as well for the same reason.

    What’s with all the broaches? Were they covered in the things or what, if they were lost so easily, why would you purchase another?? I get they were also currency but, it just seems like I’m missing something, you find broaches like I find modern pennies That silver cross with the split ends- held a stone. The cross was laid on top of the stone and wrapped around, when hung from the neck the stone was beneath the cross. It was still retaining some of the shape. I don’t remember where I saw it but it was on display somewhere

    The broaches were the most popular traded item. They were light weight and easy to produce. The natives would wear them on their clothing and would lose them easily.

    @@Eric_Detectorist Yeah U P Mitten, I’ve come to understand. I’m binging on the videos now. It’s just amazing how different the soil and relics are. I lived all over the USA and that soil looks just like the sand in Florida, it’s dark the first foot from the decomposing vegetation and then can bleach out or turn orange/red.

    I do a lot research, starting by reading archeological books, and online documents. There were no maps or accurate maps from that time period so getting a general location and then using topography or geography as a guide. Natural bluffs, points, rivers, springs around know village sites are good starting points.
