Ha Ha. I suppose that it probably isn't normal John but I give all my finds to the home owner when hunting on their property. I figure if they are nice enough to share their property with me, I should hand over the finds. I take a picture so I still get bragging rights. Gave away a 1891 IH...

Hello all! It's been a while since I've posted anything so I thought I'd drop a note so ya'll know I'm still around. I haven't gotten out as much as I'd like to but here are a couple pics of some silvers from a recent hunt. It was my first Seated quarter and I handed it over to the homeowner...

I'm in a little town northwest of Albany NY this week working with one of our customers. I wrapped up my project around lunch today so I went out for a hunt. I have to say that detectorists in New York have it made! All week long I have driven through neighborhoods filled with awesome early...

Hey All. I'm going to be in Johnstown next week. It's a little town northwest of Albany NY. Is there anyone in the area who might have time for a hunt or advice on where to hunt. Thanks in advance. Ron.

Hello All. I am letting my Etrac go. I have both the Etrac and the VX3 so this unit is sitting most of the time as I seem to prefer the Whites. I bought this Etrac from PulltabSteve last year in the hopes my wife might get involved in the hobby. The unit is in pretty good condition except the...

I was detecting a park in Evansville IN today during one of my travels. It was a nice little park in a neighborhood from the 30s or 40s and I had some high hopes. After being there for a short while I started to notice Police officers in the area. Pretty soon there were a LOT of officers and...

hello All. I don't normally post pics but I kind of liked this Crotal bell which was my first. I got permission to hunt a 1901 home in my hometown. The home is owned by an older couple named Jim and Joyce. They were so nice. Jim assured me that the house had been hunted before and it was...

Well I made it out for my first beach hunt last week. I went down to Isle of Palms in SC for a business/pleasure trip. I was able to complete a couple short hunts in the evenings around low tide. I only found two dimes and five pennies for a total of 25 cents. :cheering:. I was amazed at how...

I thought I was the only one to lose a good find. Last year while I was traveling in Henderson Kentucky I found a Sterling ring with pink and white sapphires. This was the same park where I found my first V nickel just last week. The ring appraised for 3 to 4 hundred at a local jewelry store...

Here is a comparison for you Don. I'd say your soil in Illinois is pretty sweet .

Hello All, I am heading down to Mt Pleasant SC next week and will taking a couple days to beach hunt. Since I live in Northern Kentucky, I have never hunted a beach before. I will be taking my VX3 and am hoping I can get some coil advice. I sold my 950 concentric so my coil choices will be the...

Hello All It has been a long busy winter but that is fading now. I've had a busy winter which included a couple weeks in Finland for business. I didn't take the detector since it was January but it looked like there would have been a couple places to detect. I've enjoyed catching up on all...

I cashed in my clad today at the local Kroger. All told I rounded up the not really thrilling total of around $70 in clad. At this pace ill have the VX3 and the Etrak paid off in just about 42 years :rofl: Anyway, I brought home about $55 and handed it over to the wife who gets first pick...

From an old spike tooth harrow? lower right of this photo has a good image of a similar looking spike. these are still in use today. Do a search for Spike tooth harrow and I'm pretty sure that you will find some pretty similar items. Here is a harrow spike that is currently available

I was able to get out today to a friends land just north of Milford Kentucky. They own 200acres in a very rural area and Jody (the owner) grew up in what is now the old farmhouse back in the 50s. the house is no longer lived in and it is an old log cabin from the mid 1800s that has been...
