Howdy Folks! For anybody interested in trying their hand at night hunting, I offer a couple of videos that show me and Pipster doing exactly that. It is wise, when night hunting, to work with a partner so you can watch one another's back. Never know who might be lurking nearby. There are...

Howdy Friends and Neighbors! Considering I was laying in a pool of my own blood at the emergency room 48 hours earlier, I think I did pretty good on this hunt. I had surgery on the 25th in the morning, followed by a serious bleeding problem around 4pm, which led me to call EMS and get myself...

Howdy Folks! Now that my knee has been surgeryfied, I am planning to get out and try to do a little detecting. Maybe try just one or two spots, and let the knee do the talking. The arthroscopic surgery to mend my knee (turns out both meniscui were torn) went fine until late in the afternoon...

Howdy Folks! This is going to be real short and sweet, as I am due to be at the surgical center in about 30 minutes. This video took all night to process on YouTube, so I am running tardy this morning. Anyhow, this is a video that shows much from the trip I made with Pipster down to Texas...

Howdy Folks! Things went badly around 4pm in the afternoon, and I started bleeding out pretty profusely through the bandages. EMS was called, and I got myself delivered to the emergency room. They got it under control, and I returned home. If you want to see a photo of the mess at the...

Howdy Folks! I just added up my totals for the time we spent in Texas. While I didn't have the chance to hunt every day, I did manage to take a total of 470 coins that added up to $30.77 in the kitty. I also found my first Kennedy half for the year, my very first ever two cent coin, 2 wheat...

Howdy Folks! While laying out coins to photograph my Texas finds, I noticed one of the quarters from our drive back to Colorado didn't look at all right compared to the others. So.... I washed it up some. It was still caked with dirt from digging it up in a real small town called Memphis in...

Howdy Folks! I sure have enjoyed my visit to Texas. There is so much to hunt here, I could spend another month and pull better than 150 coins each day easy. But we must return home to Colorado, and I do miss my wife, my critters and the beautiful Rocky Mountains. So, here directly, we should be...

Howdy Folks! It was a real long day but drove back to Quinlan from Galveston with 176 coins, a 925 silver ring and a 417 (10k) gold ring. Got lots to post when I get back to Colorado. I just wanted to stop by and say howdy! Posting just ain't that easy on a cell phone. Blessings, M-Taliesin

Howdy Folks! Me and Pipster are busy in Texas. Pip spending time with family, and me hunting when it ain't raining. I ain't seen the sun much since getting to Texas. It rained on the way down, it rained the first day here, and it has pretty much rained most of the second day too. However, it...

Howdy Folks! I really should be in bed right now, but got involved in making a video to help forum members who are having trouble resizing photos for posting on the forum. So now I am real tardy about posting my finds from my hunt yesterday, although I should have gotten it posted before...

Howdy Folks! I've seen several folks who wrote about having trouble getting the size of a photo right so it can be displayed on the forum in a post or reply. While this particular video shows how that can be done easily with the program I use, it can also be done just as easily with any photo...

Howdy Folks! Whats cooler than finding silver is having silver find you! Imagine having silver rain down on you from the sky. How neat would that be? That's what happened on June 17, 1940 in Russia. It happened in the Gorki region when thousands of silver rubles just started dropping...

Howdy Folks! Here is a video I made awhile back to show how easy it is to do an acid test to determine whether an item you found is gold or not. It is a simple test, and can give you proof that you got gold. There are items running around that are marked 14k or 10k, and there ain't no gold in...

Howdy Folks! Talked with Pipster when he got home last night, and learned of his intention to leave work around 4:00pm then come back to the house and load up a car for our trip to Texas. Pipster says it should be about a 12 hour drive down there, but with my limitations, likely to be more...

Howdy Folks! We were getting pretty heavy snow, so detecting was out, but I was out detecting anyhow. Didn't get much either. Anyhow, I stopped at the King Soopers on my way toward home, partly because I needed batteries for my camera and partly to warm up some because it was rightly cold...

Howdy Folks! For this particular thead, I know that everybody has enjoyed some outstanding hunts during their time spent metal detecting. I'd like to see your most outstanding single hunt ever. Sure, I know you've all had many hunts that were incredible, but all of us have one particular hunt...

Howdy Folks! Yep. I'll be leaving the forum for awhile, looks like. Me and Pipster are headed for Texas. Pipster was born and raised in Texas, and we're going down to visit his stomping grounds down south. He has kinfolk there he'll be visiting with, and we anticipate some great detecting...

Howdy Folks! Me and Pipster, like many Americans, have watched a couple of tv shows about guys who hunt storage unit lockers. These are units that you rent to store stuff that won't fit in your home or place of business. When the rent isn't paid, they put the entire storage unit up for auction...

Howdy Folks! I had a terrific year last year finding gold and silver. Here are the pictures of checks I got for gold sales on 3/15, 6/28, 9/17 and 12/30. Strange as it may seem, there are folks hereabouts that find it difficult to believe how much gold and silver I actually find. Guess they...
