It's been a while as I've been outta the "swing" of things guys, but this one I had to post. Several years ago, I found a class ring from my own Alma mater in a park. It was class of 2005 with no initials, just a football icon. (I am certain I posted the story here but for some reason, I cannot...

Does anyone use cardoard holders to protect LC's ? If so, what size is best for coppers? Small dollar ?

What say u experts?

Ok, so I haven't been MD ing much this year because I am working on my business and marketing efforts. For the 1st year in 5, revenue is down. my honeydew list is ginormous and not improving much. Here's my issue: My wife wanted an outdoor patio set for the deck. Yup, the nice one/s cost a...

Hello all, I haven't been out much at all this year-only for a few hours. Life is getting in the way:( Anyway, I know you have all missed me! Thought I had something very cool, and it is, just not as cool as I thought. This pfenig was hard to identify. When it came out, I could see an eagle...

I got out for a few hours yesterday...it wasn't too bad in the sun. Targets were scarce and i only managed a few keepers. Boy the 1875 sure looked lie a '77 at 1st, but no luck. Anyway I was happy someone had left these behind for me. They were clear digger's but someone must have cherry picked...

I got out for ~ 3.5 hours this am. It warmed up nicely and I had to remve a layer of clothing. I was going real slow...embarisingly slow as I didn't want to miss anything. I dug a few nails that really fooled me. I mean digging it deep and hearing a null with the probe but still a hint of hi...

Well, i only has a few hours this am but my 1st dig was this ih. It really os a nice one. Also dug ths button and 1 silver. Cant tell u haw many time i thought i had a possible copper/silver hole, but just wishful thinkin. I was lucky to grab one silver. Hh aaron

might use this object. At 1st I had no idea what it was,however, a couple walking past the park started talking to me. (What a nice guy I am at dusk, taking the time to promote OUR hobby). Anyway I showed this to him and he put it together...it is an instrument for weighing things. Rang up as...

So, i haven't been out in about 3 weeks and today I went to a local park. 1st dig was the IH then a few deep wheats. I had another deep copper sounding item and it turned out to be this button. It was deep and in a very old park. I've never seen one, anyone here? Next park 1st dig...another IH...

Often times I take the day off from work to go detecting. Although not recently, my mind beomes plauged with the thought of how much money it costs me to do this. I mean, I play hockey 3x/week, poker too frequently and go detecting any chance I get; all of this adds up to a lot of time away from...

Went to help a friend find a sign that got dozed under 6 of soil. I could not locate it after 2 hours so i moved on. Luckily,i still had an hour or so b4 the rain. 1st dig was the 1819 LC. Came up as a penny....never happened b4. Usually these come up at 00ii 27 similar to a quarter.well my...

Its easy to forget the fundamentals of things and MDing is no differnt, clean your coil cover and such. After my last post, someone said something that I had forgotten. He knew I was running ferrous sounds as I have been ever since I read a post 2 years ago. I liked it, so I never went back...

...keep doing the same thing over and over...that's how I roll. All the local spots are done, over; devoid of many deep coins. So why do I constantly head back there....'cause they are close and I need to get out. I haven't been out much this summer, so this week I went out with Catskill Comics...

Well, this prolly should be in the beach section, but as I have found very little lately, I will post it here. I've been vacationing with the family in NC for the past 2 weeks and spent 8 or 9 hours detecting this stretch of beach in front of the rental we were in. So few people also meant very...
