Buried for decades, this forgotten roll of 35mm film turned out to hold something far more interesting than I ever expected.

A freezing-cold hunt at an 1800s farm ended with the recovery of a sentimental Tiffany bracelet just minutes before dark.

A mysterious jar buried in the woods contained a strange collection of objects, hand-drawn maps, and even more unanswered questions.

I dug up a mysterious double-struck 1769 Hibernia halfpenny that may be one of a kind, with a minting error unlike anything I’ve seen before.

An old Bellevue-Stratford hotel room skeleton key that opened the door to a fascinating, and much darker, piece of Philadelphia history.

A bent old button and three barely visible letters led to one of the greatest finds of my metal detecting career, a rare George Washington inaugural button.

What looked like a giant old token slowly revealed itself one spray at a time, until we realized Doug had just found a bucket-list coin none of us had ever even held before.

A strange set of letters on an antique ring found behind a colonial Massachusetts home led us to an unexpected connection to the property's past.

An old Pennsylvania stagecoach route had already given up some incredible finds, but one signal led to a coin from the earliest days of the United States Mint.

A farm we almost skipped turned into one of our greatest metal detecting sites and produced several 350-year-old Spanish silver cobs.

The COB field was already known for incredible colonial finds, but it surprised us again when Charley uncovered an antique gold ring with a deep ruby-red stone.

A beautiful 1750 house looked promising, but layers of fill dirt made reaching its colonial history harder than we expected.
