Can you see it ? How about now? Rest of today's finds: It was good to get out. Jeff

Have any of you guys found a armband phone case that is suitable for the Deus controller ? I know I can get a new Deus armband for $22 bucks so I am not going to panic, but if I can get a suitable phone case for half the dough, why not. I've looked online at armbands and everything I've seen...

Hiked out to one of my favorite remote sites for some R&R and peace and quite. Good signals from my detector interrupted my peace and quiet a few times. Managed an 1818 Matron. That is my most common LC vintage with 6. Dug this nicely shaped chape. I am guessing it's likely from a knee...

Continued my "farewell tour" of a series of cellar holes that me a and few buddies hit hard about 5 years ago. It appears that the wooded area is going to be developed soon so I've been revisiting these sites while I still can. It will be a shame when it finally goes under the developer's bull...

Actually I thought it was a brilliant answer ;)

I usually like to hit the trail early but it was just TOO COLD this morning. So I waited to about 09:00 before I ventured out. By then it had warmed to a toasty 20 degrees but the wind was still howling. It really wasn't bad though once I got in the woods. 5 layers helped. 6 counting the...

Didn't get out of the house until about 08:00 but it was still a bit chilly at 19 F and a good breeze making it feel colder. But a good mile hike to the site and some hand warmers in my mittens were enough to make comfortable. Once again I revisited an old site that me and my buddies and then...

I sometimes keep semi good records of what I find. Looking through them today I noticed an interesting coincidence. Interesting to me anyway. :) I don't find much silver at all because I am usually at some old cellar hole in the woods. But when I started detecting, I apparently found 6 different...

I needed a good hike after sitting on my butt all week. Hiked out to one of my old sites. Didn't expect much if any action but in about 30 minutes I managed a big dandy, a big pewter spoon and a fancy little cuff button. At the edge of the site was an exposed shell midden. I had pulled a...

Scouted a new area this morning hoping to locate a cellar hole. Never did find one but I hit an old stock pen that gave up a few goodies. Managed a snag an 1816 Matron head along one of the walls. Pulled a few buttons and a chape along with a handful of shot shells and some deep iron...

Too much of the white stuff on the ground to go detecting so I decided to build a 5 gallon electrolysis unit to start cleaning up some iron relics. I was happy with the results on my first attempt on a little hatchet I found last time out. Before: After: Here's my set up. I had...

Got out this afternoon for a couple of hours to see what I could wrangle from the iron belt around one of my old cellar hole sites. The swinging wasn't easy but I did manage to get a toasty CT copper. Reverse is toast but I can make out the AUCTORI CONNEC: on the obverse. Also dug the...

Pretty sweet ! :thumbsup02:

If you been on this forum a while, you will know that Dan has found over 100 complete shoe buckles and hundreds of fragments. I used to think the reason he found so many more than the rest of us was because he had mad detecting skills. But after months of exhaustive research, I stumbled upon the...

Hey I just noticed I have reached Elite Member status. Does this mean I am now eligible for the Annual Membership Fee discount? Or do I have to wait until I am an official senior citizen to get the discount ? ;)

I hadn't been out detecting in a while and was in need of a good hike. So I did both. Hiked out to one of my favorite places. I've hammered pretty good over the years but it is just a nice and peaceful wooded site to spend a couple of hours swinging the coil at. Spent some time poking around...

Very cool : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2n2lvd94fA&feature=youtu.be

A buddy sent me this :

Check out this collection of buckles :cheesysmile:. Everyone of them sounded like an old copper.

Went out scouting this morning looking for a new site but no cellar hole to be found. Just stock fields. But I decided to detour and hit a near by cellar hole site that I hadn't been to in years. This place was pounded in the past but I hoped to be able to sniff something out of the iron trash...
