Howdy Folks! I had a slim window of opportunity yesterday to get in a hunt. I got to Brighton about an hour before my work started, so figured I'd have maybe 45 to 50 minutes to hunt before punching in! So I headed over to a location with 2 tot lots that have proven 'hit or miss' in the...

Howdy Folks! I've started back to work, at least on a reduced schedule. It has been strange going back to work after being out so long as I have. Meanwhile, my last visit with the doc was last week, and he claimed I've made terrific progress with my leg. He sounded like I done real well and...

Howdy Folks! After enduring a drought that has lasted almost three weeks now, I finally scored gold! I went out on a short hunt, hit one school with 6 tot lots on it, and on the very last one I checked got the gold earring you'll see in the photo. It is 10k and smallish. But I'll take all the...

Howdy Folks! I am embarked on a more 'normal' hunt yesterday and hit some 5 to 7 locations. Started out just after 10am, and didn't stop hunting until around 5:00pm. It was my determination to find some gold, but I was disappointed in that particular department. Still, I managed to take 145...

Howdy Folks! I went out after working on Friday evening and hit only one location. Temperature was 32 degrees, wind approx 10 to 15 MPH. Still, I visited a location that has several wood chip tot lots but only hit one because it was chilly out. That, and time was an issue. I discovered the...

Howdy Folks! I got out for a shortie hunt last evening. Despite the temperature being around 46 degrees, the wind made things bone-chilling cold. So I didn't last long. However, I did manage to get a silver ring stamped 925. I also recovered an earring shaped like a heart and it surely does...

Howdy Folks! I had an interesting talk with Carl at White's concerning my V3i. Mine was the very first V3 sold in the state of Colorado. It had to be returned to Sweet Home shortly after I got it because of audio issues. Later on, another problem caused me to send it back yet again for...

Howdy Folks! Just dropped by to let ya'll know I ain't dead yet. Not for lack of trying though! LOL! After a week of cold and snow (talking about below zero for high temps during the day) I got out for several hunts in the past week. The last few days have been fabulous, with highs in the...

Howdy Folks! Yesterday was beautiful in Colorado. Sunny, tempertures well into the 60's, snow melting nicely, but still plenty on the ground, and I got to go hunting. My finds will be fodder for another post later. The question, heard before, came up again yesterday. While I was pounding...

Howdy Folks! While we still have several inches of snow on the ground, the temperature is supposed to hit up near 60 today and tomorrow. In addition to that, my leg seems to be healing up and getting more flexible by the day. Hopefully, I'll get out and make some finds worth posting about this...

Howdy Folks! Visited the doctor yesterday and he says I can go back to work. So next week I'll expect to put in at least a few hours at the old job 20. The man also removed stitches I had installed in the emergency room after I sprung a leak the day of the surgery itself. It bled like crazy...

Howdy Folks! I never had any opinion about Christina Aguilera one way or another until yesterday, when she totally raunched the American National Anthem. It was an embarassment of monumental proportions. Everybody in that stadium, with the exception of Christina Aguilera, knew the words. People...

Howdy Folks! How about that! Green Bay Packers win the superbowl!!! Blessings, M-Taliesin

Howdy Folks! Here are some of the goodies I found in 2009. Mostly, I was trying to figure out how to properly post a video, and saw some discussion on the forum regarding that very topic. So I thought I'd try it out to see if it works. One suggestion was to do an attach of the video file, but...

Howdy Folks! I've been blessed to find a few nice old coins along the way since I started metal detecting around August 1st of 2007. And every time I find an old coin today, I think back to some of the best coins I ever got. They didn't end up under my coil, but were found in my mailbox. Yes...

Howdy Folks! I believe we've all probably had an opportunity to hunt someplace unusual, strange, bizarre or different. This post is to ask you to share your most exotic location ever. For starters, as an example, here is a photo of my detector taken at Buckskin Joe in Colorado, not far from...

Howdy Folks! Since I won't be getting out today, I decided to inventory what I took in January of 2011 to see how things look. In the photos that follow, you'll notice a whole bunch of coins. Well over $80 bucks worth. I haven't added my last batch yet either, which is just a couple of bucks...

Howdy Folks! Living as I do in the west, there are still many places that a guy would want to detect that are inaccessible to anything other than foot traffic or on horseback. Such sites include locations where outlaws stashed purloined treasure while a posse was hot on their tails, old remote...

Howdy Folks! My wife's car was in the shop and we had to go by and fetch it home this morning, but before we drove to the repair shop, I needed gas. We stopped at the Flying J down the road from here, and I got out (with the expected difficulty of course) and walked around the back of my...

Howdy Folks! Yesterday was a beautiful 69 degrees as the wife and I visited Colorado Springs before moving on to Monument. Some of these items came from our trip south. Today was pretty decent too, with a high in the mid 50's. A real big part of what you'll see here came from today's hunt...
