Thank you! It was still there on the way back, completely unconcerned with my presence.

Was just having a short stroll and heard a thumping noise. About 12 ft away this pileated woodpecker is feasting on some grubs in this dead tree before the big storm rolls in here in Maine.

On this day in 1785 the town of Paris Maine was incorporated. I don't have any finds associated with Paris Maine, but this coin from France was found by an old cellar hole in the Maine woods. This is an 1801 Treaty of Amiens Peace token. This is while Napoleon was in power.

Sorry, no artifacts or history stories today. This is Finch. Finch likes eating sweet potatoes.

Thats awesome.

December 21st is National Maine Day! Here are some Maine Militia buttons, and Massachusetts Militia buttons that date to before Maine separated from Massachusetts and became its own state in 1820.

Should have posed him under one of those giant Acme anvils.

Another of my favorite finds from this past season. A Revolutionary War related dandy button. These buttons date from 1770-1800. You can still see remnants of the silver plating, and the word UNITE.

Bullfrogs guarding treasure.

Revisiting some of my favorite sights and sounds from detecting this past season.

Anything to get the edge in today's dating scene..

Good morning from Maine! It's frosty out there.
