This past Friday I had one of my best hunts in about 3 years. Hit a very remote cellar deep in the RI woods, it was about a 2 mile hike from my car to the site. The area has over a dozen colonial cellar holes (which I have done well at in the past), but I apparently missed this site on previous...

I apologize for my inactivity on this forum. It was a very busy 2018 for me. Anyways I’m planning on being on here more this year. Yesterday I met up with two of my friends Sam and Isaac. We headed to a potential cellar in Massachusetts I had mapped out early in 2018 but never was able to get...

Been a while since I have been on this forum. Here’s the year update: 1 copper (possibly a William and Mary), 2 half reales, a trime, and some nice relics. Was quite busy during the winter and spring. Now, it’s the heat and humidity that is keeping me from getting out that much. Can’t wait for...

Hi all. Been a while since I posted on here. I think I'm gonna start posting again in 2018, I just got lazy and side tracked this year. I'll post an end of the the year wrap up on here in the coming week or so. Hope everyone had good detecting years.

I've been lazy on this forum, but now that school is done for the year I should hopefully be more active. Not gonna say much but I'll post a few pictures of some of my better finds. Nothing incredible, mix of colonial and newer stuff, weirdest find has to be the 1813 Russian 2 kopeks. Hope you...

Been a few weeks since I last posted so I figured it was time for me to post again. The massive snowstorm earlier this month never truly slammed RI the way it did other states so I was actually able to get some detecting in the following weekend. I hit a site I had done pretty well last spring...

Over two weeks ago the snow from the last storm finally melted allowing me to get out and do some detecting. In the past two weeks I have detected in temperatures ranging from 10 degrees over 70 degrees. On Tuesday it looks like the next big blizzard will come roaring in and keep me out of the...

I figured I would post today considering we are supposed to get 10-15 inches of snow and I won't be detecting for at least 1.5 weeks more than likely. Got out a week ago after school to look for a cellar hole deep in the woods. I found the site and immediatly got to work as I only had a few...

Been lazy once again on this forum. But, I'm back now. Got out this weekend with my buddy Jarrod to hit a few sites I knew where going to be quite old. First site looked more like a pit than a cellar hole, Barely any rocks in it but the iron around the lip confirmed to us that it was a homesite...

I have been very lazy on this forum for a while now and I apologize for that. But here's a recap of my last few hunts. Couple of weekends ago on a Sunday I returned to back to the virgin site that I found back in May and pulled out my first ever GW. Not many targets left now but I got a...

I have been very lazy on this forum and I apologize for that. Since my last post at the end of July I have only found one copper, :disgusted: I can't seem to get my coil under them the past few months, :confused: BUT that does not mean I have not made any good finds. The past week ended up being...

It has been a while since I last posted on here. I had a pretty rough July detecting wise. Most of the sites I went to were absolutely pounded, the bugs were vicious and the temperatures have been brutal. Still I did score a nice early US Naval Cuff Button but other than that I did not get much...

I was in California on vacation from Friday 6/3 to Thursday 6/9 so I was not able to get any detecting done during that time. Despite having a lot of fun by the time Thursday came around I was really wanting to get back in the woods. Friday I got my wish and set out to do some much needed cellar...

I found perhaps my best find ever yesterday, topping even the gold coin I found over 2 years ago. But I'll save that for last. Did a brief hunt during the week in my yard, where my family is putting in a patio. As a result a foot of fill dirt had been removed and of course I swung my detector in...

What a great weekend for detecting it was. I got out for a quick evening hunt on Monday with the goal of hitting an old road. Road was a dud but I randomly went into an area that had been cleared of trees cause I was desperate and thought maybe I could pull something out of there. I see some...
