Got an invite Saturday to do some detecting up in Mass on Sunday with a few folks I've gotten to know on FB. Our 1'st stop was a freshly hayed field, maybe 4 acres. We spent maybe a couple hours on it. Not a ton of good targets there, but I managed a busted crotal bell (still waiting to...

In detecting we have the obvious one associated with a finds you hope to dig some day. I've had the chance this year to pick away at that other list, which to me is the social side of detecting. Meeting people and checking out events, etc. The Best of New England (BONE) event was fun to check...

Kind of a shocker since my 1'st gold ring came just 2 months ago! I'm slowly getting back to doing some detecting, and hit a park here in CT to shoot some video of my gear this past Thursday. The place has a beach so I wanted to hit it afterwards, but it was too nice out and there were a bunch...

The last dig with Dan a couple weeks ago was a near skunking. I managed a coin purse clasp. Just one of those days. Last Saturday I had to pass on digging. A long term maintenance project at work maintenance project at work has gotten got my right elbow cranky (tendonitis). I tried a couple...

Hi all. I've been quiet the past couple weeks, due to mostly lousy digs, and now dealing with some tendonitis in my right elbow from an extended project at work. But, I've been asked to appear on Josh Kimmel's show Beyond Sight and Sound. He's gotten to know me from a few Facebook detector...

Dan and I took a long ride yesterday to meet up with Dave and his friend Frank to check out some sites. It was warm and buggy, but for August 1'st coulda been worse. Had fun digging some finds, thanks guys! Spot #1 of the day turned out to be my most productive. 1'st target on the V3i radar was...

Thanks for the kind words guys. You nailed it Isaac. That one curved piece has so much detail left on it. Same with buttons. I love digging those. I'm jelly of the two Dave dug a couple weeks ago. After the monster hike, Dan wasn't done! So we hit one of his spots until it was getting dark. I...

But is sure is fun! Met up with Dan early yesterday, then we took a ride to meet up with Todd and Dave again for another group hunt. Dan had some spots on radar for us to check out. We wound up doing a lot of searching and bushwhacking looking the sites. Spot #1 which was closest (teaser of...

I wasn't looking for another detector, but had a chance to pick up a clean MXT and 120mm Bullseye pinpointer here in CT for $300 today. Had to have it! It will replace the Garrett Ace 350 I bought last year when getting into the hobby as a backup/loaner, and I'll be selling the 350 and some...

Decided to change it up this week. Last fall while detecting I picked up a ton of signals at the base of a small hill. First thing I dug was a gear plate for some sort of clock, and some broken dinnerware. Dump site. Curiosity was still killing me, especially since I know the family did well...

I met up with Dan yesterday morning figuring we were maybe going to meet up with Drew again, but was surprised when he said we were meeting up with Dave and Todd. Very cool! Or maybe trouble, could the somewhat new guy have a prayer around the Three Amigos? :lol: Surprisingly, I had my best...

Almost exactly a year ago, two very nice guys from a great detecting forum introduced a detecting newbie to his first cellar holes. He wasn't geared right, or dressed right, but he had a great day learning a few things, and finding a few bits too. Hooked! So I was excited when Dan PM'ed me last...

Got an invite from Charlie earlier in the week inviting me to take a ride back up to New Hampshire Thursday to join him and Henry for some woods crawling. Heck yeah, always an adventure with that crew. Packed up for an overnight stay, and drove up yesterday morning. First on the agenda was to...

Joined up with some of the gang today for a cellar hole tour. They're holes that have been wailed on, but I managed a few finds. Regardless, it's still great to be out there seeing these sites and what everyone finds. The larger buckle came at our first stop. 6 or 7 inches down next to a tree...

I haven't been out since my New Hampshire trip 2 weeks ago, so detecting is on the list the next couple days too. Was supposed to hook up with a friend, but he was a no-show. With part of the day wasted I decided to try a park I've been wanting to hit. It's near where I had to be later in the...

I sat down with Ye Olde Toothpick tonight and cleaned my KG as good as I dare. The pic makes it look crustier than it is. Glad the rev side had a little something left. Very happy, my oldest real coin. :smitten:

Over the winter I wound up making friends with a group of detectorists in New Hampshire who post on YouTube, the Stealth Diggers. I also help out on their Facebook page as well. Charlie is the founder of the group of 8 in his area, plus 4 of us that have been adopted. I'm the closest of the 4...

I'm just guessing it's a whizzer Drew. The holes are kind of far apart (dunno what the 3'rd hole is for. mistake?) , and square. Like a nail or tool was used to make them. Maybe it's a poor man's whizzer? Made it out there again this morning for 4 hours or so. Once again my hosts had the coil...

Met up with the same group I hunted Crow Hill with last week. This time to a corn field in eastern CT. It's freshly turned and has shoots coming up, so much respect was paid to the property. I had to carefully move some plants to get at finds today. Hot finds today were by our hosts. An 1876...

I forgot to do this last week, d'oh. All the silverware I've dug out of there in 3 or 4 trips.
