Although I haven't been getting out much these days, i did get a chance to get out with Noah for a few hours a couple of weekends ago. We went back to the field that had the fairgrounds in the 1850s. in the first 15 minutes I dug what I thought was going to be a button., but no, I dug a bucket...

Tim and I took a drive south Saturday and Met up with Dave. We decided to hit a town that Dave and I had good success with before he left for Germany. I'm glad we did. The weather was perfect, the company wasn't bad and there were a few finds to be found! This is as clean as I could get it...

Last Weekend I got out with Tony & Dave for a day of detecting. Unfortunately the town we picked to meet up at wasn't to agreeable. It had obviously been hit pretty hard in the past, but we stuck with it and all ended up with a few nice finds. I only dug one coin, an 1867 Indian, but I also dug...

I got out for a few hours Sunday afternoon. I dug these at the first house.

we recently got turned onto another home site in the same field as the 1833 cabin site that we have been hunting. I went out Easter Sunday for a few hours and dug a crusty 1856 Largie I went back after work the next day with my son Alec. I dug another one, this time an 1848. And a few...

Last week we took a family vacation to Gettysburg, Pa. My wife was nice enough to give Alec and I a half day to go detecting. We stopped at an 1812 stone farm house outside of Gettysburg. Story is that the Confederates raided the house on the way into Gettysburg on June 27, 1863 on their way...

Once again, I needed a damn Rosie for the dime grand slam, and once again I couldn't find one!! Tim and I went back to the town where I dug the half dime last week. I'm glad we did. Slow, but steady all day. I came home a happy camper. We could tell its been hit before, most of our finds were...
