So today was a complete washout, but the weather broke in the late afternoon...so i decided to hit up an old cellar hole close by. I've pulled some nice coppers here before, but this is the youngest coin so far. All of the coppers here have been Colonial. Also got this nicely gilted button with...

So I went back to my honey hole and scored 2 more colonial coppers. The orangish one is either a CT copper or KG II can't really tell....and the other mangled bent one is a George of some sort. I swear, I should get the trophy for shot coppers. The last 4-5 have been mutilated. oh well they are...

FINNALY BROKE INTO THE 1600'S! Here is a group shot of my last two hunts. Last weekend I picked up the nice 1893 Barber Half, 4 Indian heads, 2 Colonial buttons, and a sash buckle of some sort hunting with Heavymetalnut and Forino. This weekend (yesterday) I was out on a group hunt with some...

So today I got out of work a little early so I decided to swing by a cellar hole close to home. The only nice thing that came from this site was a pretty Civil War CT seal button. Somethin told me today I better get up there and see what kind of signals I can get with my new machine. And check...

Today I headed back up to the new field site I had success in last weekend. I crossed my fingers the whole way that the landowners would be home....And to my delight they were....they agreed to let me hunt the old field as long as someone was on the property. Now, I have a telephone number...

So today I had a late start...I was trying to decide where I wanted to unleash the T2. I've been wanting to locate a site that has apparantly been hiding right under my nose for a couple years now. So I drive out to my normal parking spot and realize that there is a half a foot of snow on all my...

So today I had an early day...boss man decided to let us out early to get all rested up for the snow storm on it's way. So I decided to hit up two side by side center hearth cellar holes.....HUUUUUGE area to detect....I only found 1 blank copper here 2 years back...haven't been back since. Today...

So today I got out with HEAVYMETALNUT on a WINDY colonial hunt. We decided to try one of his sites that he hasn't spent a large amount of time ....A nice center hearth colonial cellar hole. It was pretty tough today with the snow but I managed to pull a nice handful of keepers. The mercury dime...

First off...again...I can't say enough about this T2 SE. Today I had a few hours to burn so I decided to go back to my capped bust site. I have hunted this place persistantly for 2 years now. The 3 cellar holes are PRETTY quiet now...that is until i ran my T2 over them again. I swear I cannot...

So today was the first hunt with my new T2 SE! and let me tell you, I absolutely LOOOOVE this machine. I ran 0 discrimination 99 sensitivity (varied) and 2+ tones all day in iron laden sites with HEAVYMETALNUTS and Foundation Hunter. My first nice keeper was the braided hair large cent....I...

Today I got together with heavymetalnut for a little colonial hunt. We have hunted this field a few times in the past and have done very well. Alot of buttons and now 8 coppers from this field, and a little half reale. Today was brutal, the wind was enough to make a grown man cry and the ground...

Today I had a 5 hours to burn so I decided to do a little detecting. I headed out to a place I dubbed the CAPPED BUST SITE Due to the fact that I found 2 capped bust dimes here. Several coppers and nice buttons have came from this site, HEAVYMETALNUT pulled a nice New Jersey here and a King...

I've had permission to hunt a 1760 home just around the corner from my workshop.....It has been a couple months now and I haven't had any time to hunt it. Today I recieved a phone call from the owners that if I still wanted to hunt their yard, today would be the last day to do it....the house...
