Today Noah and I decided to stay a little closer to home. We drove about an hour north and tried a couple of towns we've never hunted before. The first house looked extremely promising, but unfortunately we found NOTHING. We drove about a half a block down the street for our second yard. It...

Noah and I went out today and braved the heat. It took a little time to find a couple of houses, we only looked for shaded lawns with no sun.The first house we hunted I pulled out a greenish disc, I thought it was token at first, but after a little cleaning and a quick visit to Google, I found...

Noah and I went to a town that we have never been to before. We spent most of the day there with very little to show for it. After hitting several houses, all I was able to find was a 1942 merc and an 1893 V nickel along with a few wheats. We decided to hit a very small town about 15 miles...

This weekend, Tim and I met up with Jeff Ford from PlugMaster ford for a little Southern Illinois detecting. We started out Friday afternoon. Sorry to say, we hit a couple of house and all I dug was a few wheats. Oh well, it happens! On the way to the hotel, I called Dave, (DaddyDigger) and...

Saturday, I met up with Tony Two-Cent and Noah for a few hours of hunting. We all did pretty well, but I'll let them tell their stories. We started at an old courthouse. The finds were scarce, but I did manage a 1906 Indian and a couple of wheats. After that, we did a house across the street...

We knew it was going to be hot Saturday, but it was the most uncomfortable day of hunting I've had in a long time. I was ready to give up after a couple of hours:whiteflag:and I probably should have. LOL All of my finds came before noon. Tim (Noah) on the other hand was coping just fine with...

Here is a photo of the four halves in the order I dug them!

We tried a new town yesterday. This town has lots of mid 1800s houses so we gave it a shot. We realized right away that the town has been pounded. We also realized that they had to miss a few, and they did! The Barber quarter and one Indian came out of an 1850s house that has been detected at...

I hit a new town yesterday and had a pretty good day! I haven't cleaned everything yet, but I did clean this one. My best find of the day.

I went out yesterday for a few hours. It had rained all morning, but when the sun popped out, so did I. I did quite a bit of driving around, it seemed like no one was home yesterday. I did get into a couple of houses and was able to find my one and only silver coin of the day, a 1943 Walker. I...

I dug this next door to where I dug the Seated Half last week. Thanks to the help from a few AD members, I am now able to upload the photos. Thanks Guys!!! I found the article online. It's not the exact same article, but very close. It was printed Dec. 25, 1916

I went out with Noah this past weekend for a little door knocking. It was a long hot day, but I did manage a few keepers including a 1907-O Barber Half.

Is anybody else having problems uploading photos? I keep getting " upload photo error" when I try

Saturday, Alec, Noah and I went out for an all day hunt. We started in a corn field that was the site of a fair grounds from 1851 -1881. I dug one coin there, an 1876 seated dime. After that we hit a few houses door knocking. I won't explain every find, but there were a couple cool finds I will...

Saturday, I went out with Noah for a little door knocking. Our first house was an 1854 brick farm house. Unfortunately, we didn't find any coins there, but I did dig what I think is a bridle rosette. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). The next house was an old school house that was converted into...

Wednesday after work, I met up with Noah to hunt a couple of older properties. The first house gave up a 1948-D Rosie and the second house gave up a couple of mercs, a 1944 & 1945. Saturday, I went out with Digger Al and Noah to do a park and a couple of houses before the rain started. We...

Friday was my son's 18th birthday and at dinner he told me he wanted to go out for some detecting Saturday. I called Tony and asked if he would like to join us and unlike a lot of the house we knocked on Saturday, I Got a Yes!! We met up at an 1891 courthouse at about 8:00AM. My very first good...

Thursday, Noah and I decided to go back to the "Seated House" and give it another go. It appeared that we hit it pretty well the first time, but we did manage a couple more keepers. I dug 4 more Indians ( 11 total for me in that yard ) and a warped 1953 Rosie that looked like it was in a fire...

My last few hunts have been unusually awesome. I've been digging some awesome coins since I had my eye surgery. Well, my eye is doing better and my hunts are back to normal. I was out for seven hours Saturday knocking on doors that no one answered. I spent more time driving than swinging. Oh...

Noah and I went back out Sunday and hit another 1850s house in the same town we hunted Friday. I didn't dig any more seated coins, but I still had a great day. At the first house, I started out with a 1915 Barber dime. About 20 minutes later I got a 12-46 near the base of an old tree. When I got...
