[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3262643, member: 10461"]WOW- I know some heart rates shot up when that pot was first seen! One of my best finds was underneath something else like that. I was on an old plantation site here in Georgia when I dug an old 1870s rimfire rifle cartridge from several inches deep. But I still kept getting a strong signal after it was removed from the hole. Another eight or ten inches below the old cartridge, out came a very rare US Light Dragoons belt plate from the War of 1812, which was in rough shape (it was pewter and corroded), but it was perhaps only the second or third intact specimen known. I sold it on eBay for $990, and the dealer who bought it told me he would've gone as high as $1,250. Another time I "accidentally" found a very ancient prehistoric (Paleolithic) stone projectile point, many thousands of years old, while digging a rusty nail target from an old churchyard.[/QUOTE]
