Been a while since I've posted any finds and this is isn't even one of my finds but I was with my buddy when he found this silvered Scovill Waterbury military button. Want you guys to know I'm still out detecting and still lurking around the AD website looking at all your finds but I haven't...

Had a chance to get out for a few hours before trick or treating with the kids. It was a treat for me to find '35 and '39 Mercs <:. Also hit up upon a deeper Zincoln signal that read 5-6, and was pleasantly surprised when a nice looking 1902 IH pop out of the hole. Other good find and what I...

Had the good fortune of hunting two old houses last weekend and this weekend. Last weekend I pulled out a bunch of clad and a rough looking 1899 Barber :shocked04: that was blackened and encrusted. Was next to a piece of zinc or tin in the ground. Tin foil/baking soda/water loosened up some...

Had a tremendous evening last night!! Went to an older home I received permission to hunt and cleaned up. Found a 1852 Lg Cent that looks like it was dropped right after coming from a mint roll, spectacular shape <:. This coin alone would have made my evening but after pulling a bunch of newer...

Hit a park and my brother-in-law's 1860 house over the weekend and another local park Monday evening. Had some decent rain so digging was good and grass will recover better. Dug $7.64 in coins, with one wheat, and a surprise 1851 Large Ct in the mix. The 1851 was badly coated with an iron...

Went to the house I've been recently reporting some good finds on. I only had about an hour, so I thought I would re-sweep an area by the driveway where I found a bunch of wheats and a Buffalo nickle the week before, this time going really slow and easy. Taking my time with the V3i I dug some...

Friday night I headed down to the house I reported previously on with My Best 17 cents in a while. This was a hunt that used my MXT because my V3 was in for the update. I was kind of anxious to get down and test out the yard with my V3i and see what else I could dig up because of the good finds...

Yesterday, I ran into a person I've known since I was probably 5-6 years old and who is also a long time friend of my father's. His name is Joe, if you are wondering. It is amazing to me how time flys and people can come and go in your life. It seems like only yesterday I was tagging along with...

Here is last week's finds from three different old houses here in my home Village of Owego, NY. Had the oppotunity to detect some of the nicest homes in the Village, but the finds were few and far between. I struggled with my V3 and a possible ?? D2 coil problem (eventually went with the 9.5...

Went back to a house Don and I hunted the other day, not the jungle!! Pulled an interesting button, that I hope someone here can tell me a bit about. Another find that I thought was cool was the old brass picture frame that showcases my only Wheat for the night, a 1913. The brass frame polished...

Had the opportinity to go to another old house Monday evening with my hunting buddy Don. I thought Don was a real nice guy until he found his third silver Rosie, but that is another story I'll drop for now rofl. This is the second of the the two houses we were invited to hunt after being spotted...

While we were detecting the yard from my other post, http://www.americandetectorist.com/forum/index.php?topic=1727.0, two other homeowners saw us detecting and offered us permission to detect their yards. This evening Don and I went to one of the yards, a 1860's house on the next street over...

Here is some finds from a yard I spent last Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings at. Lots of good targets but no big silver. Best finds were a 1902 -O Barber dime, a Marion Steam Shovel watch fob, and a Gettysburg Memorial watch fob. Also found a silver plated Virgin Mary pendant and gave it to...

Here are some interesting and excellent finds from the last two evenings. Monday night I was invited to hunt with a fellow detectorist at his neighbor's house. This is a farm house we have hunted hard and pulled a good quantity of silver and wheats from so I wasn't expecting much but it was a...

Went to a local park that was dedicated in the late sixties. I was using the V3's &quot:grin:eep Silver program and came across a few signals that bonunced around a bit but were in the 91-94 range, reading 9 to 10 inches deep. I switched to Jack and Yazoo's hybridized correlate program and got...
