Howdy Folks! I finally got out to do some hunting. Between having a nearly record breaking amount of rain the last 2 weeks (after a prolonged drought!), and working, and spending time on the shooting range, and taking class for our CCW permits, time has been scarce lately. My opportunities to...

Howdy Folks! Well, you might have noticed I ain't been around much lately. Reason is becuase I haven't been hunting much lately. Been a mite distracted because of my job situation and because I have take up the effort to qualify for a CCW permit. The Gold Slinger has been working on becoming...

Century Hunt Turns up Gold! Howdy Folks! Between feeling somewhat poorly since I had surgery, blood thinners reducing my ability to withstand chilly weather and spending more time on the pistol range working with my wife with an eye toward getting our CCW permits, I haven't hunted with...

Howdy Folks! Thank you for remembering me, and I surely do appreciate your concern for my condition. As you know, I had surgery on my knee. Since then, I've returned to work. You may also remember that I had that blood clot that caused me to be on blood thinners. For awhile after surgery, I...

Howdy Folks! Okay, so I ain't been around awhile. Sorry about that. I had a week after Exsquid left Denver that my knee was really giving me trouble. The next week I just plain felt poorly in general. The reason my knee was hurting was because I had a final visit with the workman's comp doctor...

Exsquid, Pipster and Me Howdy Folks! Guess we got so focused on hunting we failed to get any photos, but Exsquid came out here from Indiana to join Pipster and me for a bit of hunting. 2 of 3 hunts were real short, and the 3rd was not terrible long either because Larry was here on business...

Howdy Folks! Yesterday was a fairly long hunt considering I haven't put in lots of hours since surgery. When I left the house at around 10:30, I expected much better returns on the day. But by the time I headed home at around 5:30pm, I was hugely disappointed with my finds on the day...

Howdy Folks! After working 3 days out of 4 from 11am to 7pm, I got off a little bit early on Wednesday evening and went out hunting. I was using my MXT Pro on this hunt, just because it had the DX-1 mounted on it. I have since moved the DX-1 probe from my MXT 300 to the V3i but that's another...

Howdy Folks! Me and Pipster spent some of our day and evening hunting together. He got the better of me by finding gold and silver, but I managed to find a nice silver ring and a real pretty earring of my own. My take on the day was: 18 Quarters = $4.50 9 Nickels = $0.45 17...

Ike Turns up on Sunday Hunt Howdy Folks! I went on a Sunday hunt, despite having to work, I still managed several sites. Those that I visited each turned up a good clutch of clad but along the way came several other coins that I enjoyed seeing. Among them in particular was an Eisenhower...

Recent Finds with V3i, Wheats, Gold, Coins Howdy Folks! I am woefully behind in posting. Since I started back to work, I've spent most of my time hunting when I am not working, and really haven't enjoyed much time on the computer. I also bought a new Ruger 94 pistol and have invested a...

Howdy Pardners and Pardnerettes! Yesterday turned out to be a real busy day for this hombre! Thank goodness I'll be working 8 hours today because I need the rest! A member from the White's forum (his handle is Deuce) drove out to Longmont from his home in Utah, and we met up there for...

Howdy Folks! I ventured into Mordachai territory for the first time in quite awhile, and hunted the area while keeping a close eye out for Mordachai. He never appeared, and I got away safely enough without incident. While there, however, I did something I seldom bother doing. I took my new V3i...

Howdy Folks! I caught Talisman giving the old cat scan to Pipster's latest finds yesterday, so got a snap or two of him checking things out. Talisman is the younger of our two cats. We have snow on the ground, so I am staying inside today, and will be working tonight, so I just ain't all...

Howdy Folks! Pipster and me got out today and headed to the west side of town where he had terrific results when he found 3 gold items last night. So we headed back to that part of town in hopes we might rescue some more gold. My first worthwhile find was a silver ring with a big honking...

Howdy Folks! While Pipster was out last night, and managed to find 3 gold items, I was also doing a bit of solo night hunting of my own. Along the way I managed to find a real small sterling silver Pascal dove. I also found a ring that I thought might be silver, but on closer inspection, it...

Howdy Folks! Well, today being Saturday, I went out for about 4 hours, but seem to be having a touch of intestinal flu or something. Made for a short day. But not before the new V3i proved itself in the field with another gold item and two silver finds. First stop was a local tot lot that I...

Howdy Folks! I got a brand spanking new V3i as replacement for the defective unit I originally had. After assembling the unit and making changes to some settings, like coil type and VCO on, I pharted around with it some just to be certain it was working. Saturday (as in yesterday) I got the...

Howdy Folks! Pipster and I decided to drive up to Brighton because I noticed a local park had what looked like tore up ground. That particular park was the fairgrounds back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I was confident we'd find all manner of old coins and relics there. However, after...

Howdy Folks! I went out yesterday (Sunday) for a shorter hunt than usual. My leg was feeling wore out and the weather wasn't as shpadoinkle as the news claimed it would be. While the temperature hit just around 50 degrees, the wind was brisk and the sky was overcast. However, I did manage to...
