    Those are some really hefty spikes!

    I don't really ever dig big iron any more. I used to, but after digging up things like a rear wheel from a steam engine, car hood from the 40's, and other junk...

    Sorry, but this just has to be asked after holding up for 10 years-you mean the button or the wife's hair? :rofl:

    Certainly some noteworthy finds, especially the buttons assuming you can show provenance. That Reale is pretty cool too with the marks in it. Still hoping to find one some day... ;) Probably have to...

    Tat's a real piece of history, and I'm sure means something to the family that lost it. Good luck on the research and return! Keep us posted how it turns out. Thanks, for the story!

    Odd that most people have no clue that NY is built over a fault line, then get all bent out of shape when they experience a little jiggle. Really, there's actually countless major and minor fault...

    Well, some days it gold, other days it's just the fool's gold. Still, a cool button and what looks like part of a pocket watch chain. Regardless of finds, always good when one can get out swinging!

    I was thinking if you go strictly for the target ID as an event, then probably keep all targets at about the same depth, maybe 4-6 inches. As for which targets, I was thinking using something along...

    Hey Terry, good luck with setting up this event-I know how hard coordinating something like this can be.

    As for a really fun event, with no digging needed. Have a test bed layout with maybe a...

    Great finds Tony! Just proves persistence sometimes really pays off. Those LCs really are hard to come by in the Midwest, and I've only ever found 2 US LCs. First one found was insanely deep (~24")...

    Yep, I got the CTX charged and made it out on a nice day near 70 degrees for maybe 45 minutes before the call to come home came. :shocked01:

    Great seeing those new machines waking up old sites again! Only a few years ago 12-16 hours swinging was the norm for me, but now I'm down to maybe 8 hours on a good day before the fatigue really...

    That's certainly a museum piece! But, I really question how that old Garrett machine worked being mounted to an aluminum pole by those big metal angle brackets?

    I agree genealogy can be addictive, but it's also so very easy to get on the wrong track with one misspelled name or incorrect bit of information. I had done a search once several years ago and there...

    Working for someone else, probably not much outside fast food. But you can always become self employed and set your own hours. My plan is to run a videography business. Shooting video for commercials...
