    Cellar hole lotta nothing - 5/22-5/23

    Been a long time since I've wandered in the woods. Couldn't have asked for two better days for it even if I took a beating. Breezy, mid-60's, and no humidity! Friday I met up with a few friends to check out a hole on their hunting club property in Suffield, and Lee joined us. They thought it...

    Spoonville with Lee - 5.13.15

    It's coughed up some cool goodies, including my Sterling Trifecta and 1'st Walker, so I planned on hitting it again this past Wednesday. Got a text from Lee @ 10PM Tuesday seeing what I was doing, and he was up for it as well. Got started around 10AM. The place hasn't been mowed yet this year...

    Scratched 3 coins off the list today!

    Too bad I didn't dig them. :lol: Digger Don had a 100 subscriber contest on his YouTube page a couple weeks ago. I didn't win the main contest, but did win his shout out contest for giving him a holler in one of my vids. A 51 Franklin Half, an 1853 Braided largie, and 1902 V-nickel! I liked...

    A pretty lady walked into my life - 5.5.15

    Thanks everyone! She's pretty, even if a little beat up from the soil. Here's a better pic of the spoon handle, and it's tied to a historical building in CT. The spoon itself is local, Meriden Britannia here in Meriden. Stueck's Modern Tavern in Middletown is where it's from. They were in...

    A pretty lady walked into my life - 5.5.15

    Met up with Lee yesterday for some digging. 1'st stop was an old farm turned public park. We puttered around for an hour with nothing to show for it other than a Zincoln at 6+ inches. Come to find out later in the day, despite the natural looking rolling hills, it had been graded and filled. So...

    Big Group hunt may 3rd in RI* everyone is welcome

    Plenty of good scores for sure. A couple Hibernias, half real, 2-cent piece, Kennedy half, seated dime, etc. Definitely not my best day. A measuring spoon, wheatie, shotgun shell brass bonanza, and struck out at the raffles. Still had a great time meeting lots of folks! Zzzzzzzzzz...

    Found my 1'st cellar hole today

    Did some research this winter when a friend mentioned seeing a long stone wall along one of their game club properties. I did find a home on a mid 1800's map that is along the edge of that property. So after their turkey hunt, we hiked in to check it out this afternoon. Found the site, which is...

    Couple spots with Lee today - 4/28

    Met up with the British Bulldog today to do some swinging. We poked around at a couple of his haunts. They're a bit picked out, but still cough up goodies here and there. All our luck came at the 1'st stop in maybe 90 minutes. Lee got on the board first with his new AT Pro. A bent and toasty...

    Best of North East (BONE). Headed up Saturday.

    Here you go Dan. Going through my vids and grabbed a frame. Guy on the right with whatever in his pocket.

    Best of North East (BONE). Headed up Saturday.

    Did he? D'oh. That's a session I should have sat in on, but I was just there visiting a group and had no idea of the agenda planned. It was cool seeing some of the stuff he's posted live. Here's a few more:

    Best of North East (BONE). Headed up Saturday.

    Had a good time at the event. Not a huge one by any means. Local and old-school for sure, but there was a pile of great finds on display, and a handful of detector mfg's there. White's, Minelab, Garrett, XP showing off the Deus (it's so freakin' light!), and Racer. Got to get the new 13" Detech...

    Best of North East (BONE). Headed up Saturday.

    Don't know if anyone here is up there this week with the event, but I'm heading up Saturday morning to meet and hang out with some of the folks I've met through Facebook this year.

    Less tough weekend, and scratched another silver off the list.

    I can't take credit for the term space junk Drew. It sure looks like one though. :lol: Here's an inside pic of it. I think that ribbed slot may be where a u-bolt would have held a ball joint together maybe? [Edit] Thank you Dan! That plate my quarter is sitting on is copper, and gave me...

    Less tough weekend, and scratched another silver off the list.

    Saturday was drippy early, so did some chores and hit the button field permission I got in late December now that it's dried up a bunch. Zip, zilch, nada in 2 hours or so. Couple random scraps of tin. Sunday I hit the farm field again, and worked the area that produced last week. Dug the usual...

    Tough weekend, but scratched a silver off the list.

    Headed out Saturday morning for a few hours to check out the farm house permission (Beth) I got while snowthrowing this winter. Since the extended family also lives right around Beth's house, I can now hit the house across the street, and can hit the small hay field they rent until it starts...

    First hunt, first real signal, first silver of 2015. Silverware trifecta!

    Dug out my eye loop and looked up the maker's marks on the spoon and fork after work tonight. The spoon was made by The Gorham Co. out of Rhode Island. I'm having a tough time dating it. I'm guessing the H is the classification. Heavy in this case. So I know it can't be any younger than the...

    First hunt, first real signal, first silver of 2015. Silverware trifecta!

    I almost got knocked over a couple times by the wind today, but it was great to get out! Got an invite from a guy named Mark in one of the Facebook detecting groups I haunt. He and his son Rob have been hitting an old farm that's now just open fields for public use. Maybe 25 or 30 acres. He's...

    Finally got out!!!!

    It was so nice out Wednesday I charged a pack and took the V3i out a sledding hill close to me knowing it gets a lot of traffic. Was surprised to find no less than 6", up to my knees in places. Swore I'd never post clad again, but the girl found a 2 quarter spill at almost a foot. Notable finds...
