The Montpelier (MACP) program from Spring 2013. Metal detectorists and archaeologists worked together on several projects in a cooperative effort
I decided to hit a local town and do some freestyling. I drove around a bit in a historic area and ended up seeing a place with a beautiful big yard, dating from around 1830-1840. I built up the nerve and knocked on the door. I ended up with a 6 silver hunt including a Barber Quarter pocket spill, a 3-ringer and more. I gave one of the silvers and the bullet to the homeowner. Did some live digs which will be on my site soon.

The reverse side of a recently found silver coin a shilling of William III from the latter part of the 1600's.
It was found ting on the surface of the ground as my detector swept over it.

Here are some more picture of my find while metal detecting. The video will tell you the story, but the quality is poor, so maybe the pictures here can give you a better idea what I found in the woods.
The Federation of Independent Detectorists (FID) was established in 1982 by Colin Hanson and is one of two main metal detecting organisations in Britain. The FID is an online club whose membership is renewed by annual subscription. The FID is still active and members are required to abide by a strict code that respects land owners, farmlands and treasure trove laws.

This is why I don't walk on the beach without shoes on. All of this was buried just a few inches down. Had a tetanus shot lately?

Video was taken by my cell photo camera, quality not as good...but guess I was not expecting to find this big cache today.
This is the portrait side up of the shilling of William III I found with my metal detector although it was on the ground surface.
Dates from the 1690's.
