Hi All, Havent had much of a chance to really detect with work,family duties ect.Finally got around to cutting the back field.And grabbed my T2 for a quick spin before I had to take my son to baseball practice.Got a nice higher repeatable signal,dug down and out pops a copper!I had a feelin...

Hello all, Did a little hunting at my neighbors field today.The day went by pretty quiet,but did manage a couple of finds.But I can't seem to make out what they may be.The first item looks to be a coin of some type.Maybe a 1/2 reale?There is a few letters that can be seen in the photos.And the...

Hi all Went to the field across from my house(no joke...100 steps from my front door) Just went out for a quick hunt,20 minutes in I had a 79-80 on the T2.7 inches down out pops a toasty copper.I still have it soaking ,but the bust has shown itself.Gonna hit it again this Sunday.HH Tom[attachimg=1]

Hi all, Once I got home from work(yeah on a Sunday!)I took the T2 for a 2 hour spin in my neighbors field.I was quite surprised to find quite a few goodies.First a toasted Indian head penny shows up,then I started to get some pretty neat buttons.I noticed a opening in the stone wall,so I drew a...

Hi all Went to a cellar hole that is on a friends property.The house is from the late 1700's so my hopes are high for this one.The site looks to be undetected,so I may be the first one to ever hunt this site.I have a few photos of the place that I am posting,so if anyone has any idea by the...

Hi all, A friend of mine took me to his deer hunting site which is full of cellar holes!It doesn't appear to have been hit by other detectors(no Iron piles,so my fingers are crossed!)We found a few decent Iron items,and this place is choked with iron.So I'm hoping to hit this place and find some...

Hi All, Hit a cellar hole this morning that I have been wanting to hit for some time.The place is naturally full of iron,so I am going to go back there soon with a smaller coil.I went away from the cellar a bit and found a flat area that looked like it would have some potential.Was there for a...

Hi all, Went to my favorite field this past weekend and popped a pretty nice 1/2 Reale. Dated 1802.Pretty good start for the season.[attachimg=1]

HI All First try at shooting some video on my detecting time.Found a nice coin and a couple other items. Metal Detecting,My First silver for the season... Spanish Silver! Have a good one !!

Had the day off from work today and grabbed the T2 for a little field work.After popping a musket ball right off the bat I had a nice consistent 81 on the T2.I popped the plug and looked like I found another button until I looked closely.It was my first ever spanish silver...

Hello Guys and Gals, Hit one of my favorite fields just 2/10ths of a mile from my house.I found a pretty cool bullet that I have posted a pic of to see if anyone could possibly tell me how old it may be.Most of the time this field give up musket balls but this one is different.It does have...

[attachimg=3]Hello All, Gave the CTX a rest on this quick hunt at a field down the road from my home,and grabbed the T2 for a 1.5 hour hunt.Took about 10 minutes for me to get the first hit which turned out to be a musket ball at 8 deep.2 minutes later I got another signal,another musket...

Hi All, Met up with a buddy of mine who lives in Rhinebeck,NY .He got permission from a friend of his to hunt a old active homesite.It was a slow day for the most part with a few wheaties mixed in.Then got a signal,dug it up and a aluminum coin comes out of the ground.I just threw it in my pouch...
