Maybe we should ask for another Forum all about antiques and interesting finds. My favourite place for rooting around is in the Kidron Valley below the Temple Mount in Jerusalem where I have found many items going back three thousand years..earlier this year I found some Herodian oil lamp fragments, a Byzantine copper ring and pieces of Roman glass. WOW.I would love to metal detect there :il: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had one paper from the 1790's (bought it for my dad), and have some from like 1803, the War of 1812, and a few from the Civil War - although, I believe I sold most of those. Edited to add, that old cabinet. It's from the 1800's also, and I don't even know what it was made for. Looks like an old doctor's medicin cabinet to me.? I have found a few civil war relics metal detecting(a u.s sword belt plate,an eagle breast plate,a confederate infantry button,a union cuff button)What type of buckle do you have?

Guest Calamity Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 It's a Union officers belt buckle. The old man that gave it to my dad (he had no family), said his brother or someone in his family (maybe uncle), had taken it off of a captured Union officer in the C.W.

I had to sell off my collection several years ago, but I still like check 'em out. I like morgan and peace dollars, and old gold. You? Mostly US coins, I really like the hard times tokens myself. But I have been gettin more into acient currency recently, and think Im gonna go that way. Its really neat how politics, wars, culture, etc affect currency.

In my hand right now I have... An Edward 4th groat...approx 1469...a Henry 6th half groat..and an Edward the 4th Shilling. I do not metal-detect in the Kidron Valley...it is strictly eyes only...and the help of the sun glinting on metal and glass. I have a friend who finds coins on the beaches of Turkey that are several thousand years old...just by watching the gentle waves roll them over as the tide comes in...again it helps with the sun at your back and then to get down low and just watch. I daresay in the States you could do this on beaches after the crowds have left if you don't have a detector...but if you understand the tides and the winds you will go out after a storm to that section of the beach that has been scoured down to the bed-rock....one man I know did this after a storm and found 4,000 items including coins and Jewellery during a 3 week period...all from one beach and all using eyes only!
