Got out with Donnie B and Ron yesterday , the weather was about as perfect as you could get here in Connecticut in November :yes: Donnie gave Ron and I an invite to his sites where he has been doing pretty well at , this area has many old cellar sites with tons of stone lined pens and over grown...

The American Detectorist Staff would like to thank all of our Veteran's for their sacrifice and service to our great nation.

Hardly a "master" :embarrassed:but thanks for the compliment . just seen a lot of coins found in the last couple of decades . Here is the one I was thinking , these are about 36mm or 1.4 inches across

just when I thought I couldn't hate you any more Dave !:lol:

Donnie B coaxed me out of my usual summer hibernation last Saturday to hit some sites he's been searching , huge nice colonials that have tons of swinging room which is unusual this time of year . We only stayed for about 5 to 6 hours due to a thunderstorm , lightning and rain . We got soaked...

I hit a cellar hole with Donnie B and Heavymetalnut early before a scheduled club hunt and managed to get my coil over two coppers and a few buttons. I had a great time at the YTC/ARNE club hunt due to the fact the pressure was off because of the coins found earlier. lots of friends and laughs...

. its a bit rough and would of looked something close to this just after minted .Thanks Yes the shoe buckles are hibernating in their burrows until springtime …. unlike the toads apparently ! :lol: John i'm considering on patenting the name "Purple Toad Detecting" … it has a certain ring to...

Got out yesterday with Donnie B. , HEAVYMETALNUT and Rick Y. to do some cellar hunting before the next Snow/ice storm hits us ! Brrrrr :frozen: was it cold in the morning when the wind whipped up , I left a few of the shotgun shell/button targets on the bare slope of a hillside because the...

Here is the flyer with a bit more info , when the exact beach is announced I will post it .

Just showing some of the better goodies from the last few hunts. November was a snowy day but it didn't let it stop me from finding this huge silver plate shoe buckle frame. December 22nd I got out with Donnie and the Yingling Brothers. We found an early cabin site but I suspect the...

If you happen to be in the New England area this winter and "cabin fever" hits I would recommend you going to this ! Doug Bowden and his inner officer's & members of the "Awesome Relics of new England" detecting club do an incredible job organizing the Penguin Dig , this amazing an unusual hunt...

Was anyone else nervous when the forum went down ? :yes:

Always wear underwear !! That is all !

I sure find a lot of what I don't really want

I got an invite from a great young man from one of the detecting clubs I belong to , through short conversation realized we both had the day off so he asked if I wanted to hunt one of his latest productive cellar hole sites :happy:. David and I hiked through some rigorous terrain to come to a...

Beautiful coin Chris I love those 20 cent pieces :smitten:, I just recently purchased a Connecticut state coin at an annual antique flea market . This place has some professional dealers who know just what to charge for some antiques and some who simply buy the dusty contents to an entire barn...

The beginning of June was a special one when HEAVYMETALNUT (Dave) joined up With Donnie , Jim Atkiv and I for what seemed to be a typical hunt at an old cellar site that I was sure a lot of people had already been to . Dave Wise is an old friend whom I have a lot of respect for as a person and...

Don't use CLR on this ! let the button dry out good , it may start to "shed" off the dirty crust on its own . The button is either an infantry or artillery (very doubtful its a dragoon) These type of 1-piece convex buttons date from 1821 to about 1834 . Its a great piece of history . Try and...
