Thanks, Jeff. I don't remember if I dug a whole pewter spoon before this one, but the likelihood is quite slim. Prob not. And as Drew stated, most of the pewter aren't designed. Never had either of those types of 'shrooms. I think this was growing on a dead coniferous, so I wouldn't have touched...

Saturday was a debate on detecting as there was a convention to hit from 10-3. It was also grey and possibly rain. I went to the convention, but there were many tables which I didn't think were related to the theme, so I didn't stay too long. I headed up to a new spot that I wanted to check...

Saturday I continued the streak of having to get up around 6a. :girlcry: Well, it was for detecting and not work. ;) The guy who facilitated last year's penguin hunt wanted to set something up. Well, it turned out to be 7 ppl. It ended up being a place I knew about that was 'pounded' to my...

Last time I posted, I said I was better. Well, I was wrong. Things got worse and I been down for quite a while. Good thing the last few things I found were the two reales and the trime. Sorry for my absence from the forum. I did check the feed from time to time to see all the great finds, but...

Sorry, this has been over a month I have been suffering. Been taking time here and there off work to rest, so not really on here to check out others' finds. I did get quick time now before I go home for weekend. Yeah. Still not feeling well. That's a whole 'nother issue the ordeal I am trying...

Since I dug that 2R, I haven't had it in me to get out. I'm still only ~75-80% better but I think the exercise is a key component to recovery. Sunday I tried to get out to a spot, but it was nothing more than an aesthetic hike. If I had found more, I'd prob have taken more pics. You couldn't...

The start of the day was pretty bad. This was a research fail. It had all the signs and even looked like a depression with some stones, but some of it was bedrock and the whole site had very little iron. It also pissed me off with how hard it was to hike through all the past logging. They left...

Somehow it took a bit more effort to break double digits with coppers in the past 4 weeks. Maybe somewhere I had someone who was jelly and was the opposite of a well-wisher. Well, I still persevered. Oddly enough, it is my second counter stamped coin and also consecutive. Copper #9 was also...

Apparently my coil is becoming a hoover for coppers. The weekend after the spill was the DB, and the following weekend was a matron. Last night was another copper. I went to a busy spot that I knew once had an house on it. I got lucky the assessor still had a build date for the house, even...

Thanks, Chris. Def been busy... and I got scolded by the gf for it. :lol: Prob the spills were a tad more common back in the days when some of these cellar holes have been hit, but now they are quite rare. Danny had one like 3+ years ago. I thought his was only 5, but he had exactly 6 like me. I...

Finally I found some time to make it back on the forum. I haven't even perused threads offline, so I missed a lot. But I haven't been missing much in the ground. Here is a compilation of things and pic overload. In April I did get out to a spot I tried to trek to in the snow. As we were...

Wednesday I attempted to partake in the White's Easter promotion and went looking for one of the eggs after work. Well, someone was inconsiderate and didn't let it be known that it was found and people wasted their gas going. I at least knew of a spot not near there I could hit just in case...

Saturday was all rain so I took the time to do some errands and get a few things done. What came Sunday was some nice weather to be out. One of the times the past summer I went to a spot where an old mill was, to give it a try. What I didn't realize, that if I had followed the old cart path...

I figured by this past Saturday the snow should be at least somewhat manageable, but alas, I was wrong. I started off going west of the river to a spot I had planned out. It was a big hike in and of course it had to include up hill and down hill multiple times the way in and the way out. I found...

The snow from Eugene has once again put a damper on detecting for a while. I (we) just can't win here in NE. A few weeks ago I was able to try the MX sport for a little while. It was extremely windy here and I didn't think the finds were worthy of it's own thread. The story was better...
