To hold something a settler once held or a gun slinger (my wishful thinking) dropped would be an...

Ah to find something as grand!! A lot of people say Florida is the place to go for good treasure, but I think you have the chance to find it anywhere... people dragged their most treasured belongings with them wherever they went more so during the push out west so there is still hope!

Mudlarking – Detecting Without a Detector…

My goal is to travel America and search for her rich history buried deep in the ground or at the bottom of a stream, under a tree or in that little strip between road and house that lines the suburbs.

My hope is that others will join me in this quest, and post their own finds and adventures! post photos and videos all are very welcome!

This site was created by my much better half Marni (The brains behind my beauty lol) so there’s no ads no catches we have no gimmick to sell you, just a place for those that love history to come and gather together to show their finds and chat about the hobby we all love.
