Went out with my buddy Roy to a really nice wooded area that we've hunted in the past that had yielded some silver. This was a nice 5 hour hunt on a beautiful day last Saturday and it was nice to give the CTX a good spin in a quality area. The hunt netted some really nice coins. I got 4 Barbers...

My buddy Tim and I went out hunting today at an old one room school house from the mid 1800's. I have been dying to get to use my new CTX and it's been forever since we were able to get out, so we headed out in the snowy woods. There is nothing left of the school, but we located a few bricks and...

After an ill-fated attempt at a painting of a merc (canvas was too coarse for detailing), I decided to go back and finish my pencil drawing of a mercury dime. I think I'm going to enter it into the fair after I frame it. Here it is!

Today was a huge day in the history of Brian. Nearly 8 years ago to the day, I decided to go back to school to be a teacher. Three and a half years ago, I graduated with honors from the University of Akron with high hopes. Since graduating, I have subbed 489 day in numerous schools and loved...

It's been a few years since I've painted and the urge struck me to do a coin painting. It's acrylic on 11 X 14 canvas and the coin measures about 8 in diameter. I'll continue with updates as I get more completed... Night #1 Tonight I started with a crude outline in pencil and put on the black...

Can't wait to get to do some beach hunting!!! It's bone dry here in Ohio. I'll be in Stuart/Jensen Beach from July 3rd to the 17th!!! If anyone is in the area... Say hi! I'll be the chubby one with the farmers tan in dorky skele-toes water shoes! Hope to share some great finds this year!

Today I was going to try to sell a few of my coins because I wanted to buy a buddy of mine's gold from him, so I went to the guys that I usually deal with at the flea market. I've found some really good deals there over the years and today was just plain awesome!! He didn't have much money for...

Today, Me, Tim, Don, and Dan went to our field of dreams. We hunted together for about 4 hours and got some nice finds. This was by far my most productive day in the copper department! Tim ended up with two Large Cents and a merc. Don got a Large Cent. Dan got a really nice sterling belt buckle...

I haven't posted much for a while, but have had some success. We've been focusing on hunting old groves in our area and spend a ton of time researching and gaining permission to hunt these places. Last night, Me, Tim, and Roy got to hunt a grove that really paid off! I will post pictures later...

Well, this will be a memorable Christmas Eve... My family and my brother met at my Mom's house this afternoon for Christmas exchange/dinner. I noticed when my brother got there he just didn't seem right. We sat down to watch the Steeler's game and he was saying that he was super hungry. I was...
