Recently got my "Harlow Flyer" type Celtic quarter stater that I found in England, back in 2019, immortalized in ink! Both sides. Obverse side is on the top of my left forearm, and the reverse side is directly opposite, on the inside of my left forearm.

We are all back home safe and sound. I think team AD did y'all proud!! I think the jury is still out on who got the oldest coin. We all did pretty well! Here's a 1st century Roman coin I dug one day. Big Roman bronze sent for ID 22.9g, 33.13mm Chris, Yes, this has a bit of remaining...

I've been a member of this forum for over a decade. And in all of those years I've gotten the chance to meet some fellow American Detectorists forum members here and there. Like Dave, Jeff, Drew, John, Dan, Al, Lee, Don and Alex, and Chris just to name a few. After a years worth of careful...

Seen this on XpTeamUSAs Instagram page. I was like, hey I know that name! Congrats Donnie!!

:lol: Me too! How about Toucan Sam and his nephews?

I met up with a fellow detectorists yesterday almost 3 hours south of me for a hunt. We found a street tear out in town while driving around. I was detecting in front of a very old church where the sidewalks were torn out and already replaced. I was detecting the sidewalls of the cut along the...

Well, I always had a gold coin and a silver dollar tied for number one on my metal detecting finds bucketlist. That spot belongs solely to a yellow coin now! It only took 11 years. [emoji23] But finally found my first silver dollar! A 1922 D Peace dollar! It was about 2"- 3"deep. I was dealing...

With all of the rain we've had this spring half of the fields are planted and half aren't. Good for me, bad for the farmer, my new permission still isn't planted. So I went out today for about 5 hrs. Got a '44 wheatie at the first site I hit. After about 3 1/2 hrs I went across the road to...

Seen these on Instagram. Thought they were pretty cool. So I contacted the guy to find out the details. I ordered 2 of them from him. One plain, and one with pin backs on the backside. I think that, that one, will go on my detecting vest. [emoji106][emoji41][emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950U...

Too bad they're not all made of silver!! I had these two, 925 silver pulltabs custom made for me! I found a silversmith on Instagram who had alot of custom made items posted. So I contacted him, told him what I was after, 2 weeks later.... BAM! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I got a message from a friend about a young guy who lost his gold wedding ring in his backyard the night of a big blizzard! He was standing by their window in the backyard waving at his wife and baby. As he was waving he felt the ring slip off his finger, but didn't know which direction it...

Well, I've returned from my second detecting trip to England and what a trip it was!! The first day on the fields are a half day usually. After the 2 hour ride from London to the "barn" where we will be staying for the next seven days. The "barns" are actual barns that have been renovated...

Well I pasted this site about 2 1/2 months ago. It totally reminded me of one of the sites Darren (Milco) is usually hunting. I figured I wouldn't be back in the area before they finished the project. So I kinda wrote it off as a missed opportunity. I drove by it again a few weeks ago and...
