2014 was my fifth year of detecting and my goal was to continue to get a nice variety of finds and not just chase silver. I was pretty happy with my year........I ended up with my first belt plate (circa 1820-1835) I also ended up with 5 gold rings (only two are pictured as the other three were...

Got out today for a little bit and pulled this copper with a deer on it, looks like it matches up to a Higley Copper. Lettering is worn smooth on the front all I can see is the deer and the ring around the deer. The back of this coin is worn smooth as well. I also dug some other period...

Got out this am with Dave (Heavymetalnut) and Todd (Thiltzy) they came down to a couple of my sites. Not too long after we got there we started in a little penned area near one of the cellar holes. I was getting a solid 38-39 on the Safari showing about 4 inches. (I hadnt zeroed in on the exact...

Got out this afternoon for a bit (had to wrap uo the refinacing on my house which cut into the detecting time today) I was debating where to go today and I knew I didn't like the taste yesterdays skunk left in my mouth. I decided to check out a new cellar hole and if it didn't work out I'd...

Got out this am with Drew and Merc for a bit. We hit a coule holes but didn't have much luck then deicded to hit a field nearby. Targets were few and far between but it was an older area so we kept at it. Ended up getting a 38-39 on the Safari at about 6 inches down. Called the guys over to...

Well today ends my vaction detecting madness. Got out today in search of the hidden cellar hole I still cant find which is getting annoying. Decided to stop at the hole on the way to the hidden hole where I pulled a KG III last week. Worked near the spot where I hit the KG and got another nice...

Got out this am with Dave (Heavymetalnut) to a couple spots he had worked before and had some luck. We hiked up to the first hole and withing about 15-20 Mins I call Dave over to check a signal I had and it ended up being a KGII. Worked around that hole a little longer and ventured over near the...

Got out this am to a spot Merc recommended, ended up hitting a IH (1875) a small flat button and a small complete crotal bell. Only hunted there for a little bit and moved back on the road to the hole I pulled the Fugio a couple weeks ago and hit another button and a 1828 LC which brings the...

Got out today with a couple my hunting buddies who wanted some spots to hunt..........Showed them a few areas I had done well at. Decided to stop at another hole Ive been by several time but never stopped at figured it had been pounded and loaded with trash. Looks like there were about 4 or 5...

Got out this am with Merc. I had a lead on a spot that we thought would be good, got down to the site and it was loaded with trash. Luckily I sat on the computer last night and found a back-up cellar hole less than a 1/4 mile today. We parked and saw a little trail leading in then saw the...

Got out yesterday for a bit in the am with Terry and had a nice moring hunt we hit one of his cellar holes for a bit and I pulled a flat button then we hit a field nearby he thought had some potential.......second target was a large copper which I cant ID its in the bottom row middle and its...

Got out yesterday am with OxShoeDrew, Merc and got to meet Del who joined us. We hit a hole we had some luck at the past week. Pickins were pretty slim.........I did manage to hit an 1893 V Nickel and three buttons. It was a nice time out with Drew and Merc and it was nice to have an opportunity...

Got out Sunday afternoon with Merc to a spot that had yielded multiple silvers before and a few LC's thought there'd be a few more goodies kicking around and I managed to snag the 1911 V nickel which was my only good item for the few hours out. Got out Monday AM with BKM and OxShoeDrew back to...

Got out this am with BKM and worked a field accross the street from an old house and my first target was a flat button thought it was a good sign so we stayed there for a bit and I ended up hitting the buckle (is this a shoe buckle or a knee buckle?) I was pretty excited since it was my first...

Got out the other day at one of the spots I had been working and pulled this medal which I must tell you I was a little shocked to see. The back is maked 1939. Apparently it's a War Merit Medal second class with swords I believe. Just goes to show you never know what you will find.
