I met up with Dave Saturday in Central Illinois for a little door knocking. I got there a little early so I got us a couple of permissions next door to each other while I was waiting. The first house was from 1873 and the second was 1890. Although there was silver found at the first house, all I...

Last weekend, I drove to Michigan with Alec and Noah to meet up with Bucknut for a day of detecting. We were hoping to do a little bean field hunting, but unfortunately the farmers hadn't cut the fields before we got there. So we spent most of the day door knocking. Although we hit a few amazing...

I met up with Noah today to do a little door knocking. We hit our first house a little after 9:00 and got a yes. Noah was first on the board with a barber dime, then I followed with an 1889 Indian. The second house also gave us a yes. I only dug two good coins in that yard, an 1881 Indian and a...

Last Weekend I got out for a few hours and ended coming home with two 1904 Indians and 9 wheats. This past weekend I tried it again.The very first signal at the very first house gave up an 1887 Indian. I thought we found a killer yard, but other than a couple of wheats, that was it. The second...

Friday after work, I met up with Dave for a little door knocking. We tried finding a farm house, but no luck. We came across a little town and decided to try there. The second house we tried gave us a yes . My first good target was a nice sterling ring, followed by a 1920 merc, a 1944-P War...

Saturday morning, Digger Al and I drove up to Wisconsin and met up with Tim (Noah) for a day of hunting. We started at an old school but found nothing but clad. While the guys were still hunting the park, I walked a few houses down the street and got a very pleasant yes from the home owner. I...

Last weekend, Alec and I decided to take a road trip to Ohio for a little hunting. I had a terrible day, All I dug all day was one Indian which I managed to lose before the day was over and a couple of Chinese coins. Alec on the other hand had a great day. The first house that we asked gave...

I drove up to Wisconsin this morning to do a little door knocking with Noah. It was Hot, but it was fun! I dug 8 wheats today, but better than that I dug 8 Indians. That ties last years total at 49 FTY. One of the indians is an 1869 which I believe is a semi key date. ( not sure, it's 2:00 in...

I dug this today. It's hook with a snake on it. My son found the same one one-bay and it says it's a Confederate Civil War Saber Hook. I know with all the knowledgable people on this forum that someone has seen one before. What do you think? Civil War?

I went up to Wisconsin yesterday with Noah for a looong day of hunting. Although we got several yesses, the yards we picked were void of good finds. The first two yards had nothing but clad and a few wheats. The third yard gave up a worn 1894 Indian. During the course of the day, I dug a few...

Alec and I met up with Dave this past Saturday for some farm house door Knocking. We put a lot of miles on the car and not to many on our coils. Lots of nos! We finally got a yes at an 1850 house and thats where dug all my coins for the day. My first good target was a penny spill, a 1906 Indian...

On Fathers Day, I went out with Noah for about an hour. We found an 1890s house and got a yes. Once again the coins are much newer than the house, but thats ok, I still managed a few silvers. I dug a 1942 Washington, a 1936 Merc, a1957 Rosie & a Shell token. On Sunday, I met up with Dave again...

I'm from Illinois. What can I say!! (and yes, I realize this is 4 months late)
