What's up everyone! It's raining, we're melting, and it won't be long! I dropped off the Native American silver and turquoise ring I dug up back in November to have it resized. It's a beauty, and deserves more than sitting in my 2014 finds box. Picked it up today, and Swede's Jewelers in East...

We've got a bobcat around our work as well. This pic is from a year ago I believe. Fat cat for sure, I can see how some people confuse them with mountain lions.

So, suited up this morning and headed over to my mother's house for my weekly hot threesome with my snow blower and shovel. :lol: Noticed her friend one house up and across the street hadn't had any real snow removal done the past couple storms. Apparently she doesn't have any family in the...

Measured 15-18 in the field in front of the house. Hardly an epic blizzard. Who's up for a hunt? :lol:

Don't think it would be for logging. It's maybe 20ft wide and 150ft long. Here's the pic from Google Earth that easily caught my eye. Nothing else of interest in the area. Dunno if a trip to the library would reveal anything.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday are my new days off. So with the mid-January thaw here, I had to get out today. Spotted a man-made feature on Google Earth this summer, but saved it for a rainy day as it seemed more of a curiosity than anything else. Loaded up the gear and hiked in today for a...

Well, 7 months anyways. :lol: Not going to do a wrap up since there wasn't a whole lot to wrap. A nice layout photo will do since it's all been seen already. Glad I was pointed to this site, and thanks to everyone for the support and reading some of my underwhelming reports. I'm learning a lot...

Squeaked in a couple more hours today before the flakes started falling. My last hunt there too since the ground is getting too frozen. Unless I find some woods, this may be it for me. Keepers were a heel plate (my 1'st). It was folded up pretty good, so I thought it was a piece of scrap at...

Once I got all my chores done, I had a couple hours to play this afternoon. Threw my stuff in the car and headed back to last weekend's field for a 2'nd shot. I did a bit more exploring on the "quiet" side of the field, but didn't waste much time as it was still pretty much quiet. So wandered...

Since I've only been at it 7 months, it wasn't too hard to pick out my 2 best finds. :lol: Found just a couple weeks ago on a farm field invite from Aloldstuff (thank you again Al!), my counterfeit King George II...

That's my favorite one GA1dad. Wish I had found it in the woods instead of a field. Here's some better pics. I've also decided to monkey with vids. Yesterday's hunt was my 1'st using just my Galaxy S5 (royal PITA). Here's a link to the roundup. There's a full vid as well, but some of the...

Couldn't ask for much nicer weather for late December, except for 4 more hours of sunlight maybe. Hope everyone took advantage of it. So, driving home from work yesterday I see a couple cars on a retired farm field that's on my hot sheet for permissions next year. I've noticed a few homemade...

Thankya everyone! Very nice to have that before the ground freezes. I'll find us a field or two down here Al. Permissions is a priority for 2015. I owe some folks here a hunt or two. I'm certainly not an expert DD, but doubt it's a fake. That farm dirt wasn't nice to the dandy button I dug...

First things first. Thanks guys! :happy: An early Christmas present. Got a PM from Al earlier in the week inviting me along for a hunt today with Rob and possibly Dan (couldn't make it due to car surgery) at the large farm fields that coughed up a couple goodies for Al lately. I had a ton to do...

Only got out for an hour last Sunday, so it felt great to get out in the sun today! Returned to the same park I was at 2 weeks ago, hoping it was in the mood to cough up some more silver (it wasn't). The wind was really honking when I got there, but laid down nicely in early afternoon. Made it...

Sorry for the late reply Al. Yeah, there were random patches that were frozen. I passed on a few targets since all I have is that Fiskars garden knife for parks, and it had a partial failure Sunday (hello Lesche). I'm happy with the machine Al. 3 months isn't much time with it, considering I've...

Didn't get started all that early today. Did a couple things around the house and wondered if Lee was going to call, or if he was loaded down at work with Turkey Day so close. Finally hit the road around 10:30. Went back to the park I was at last week, and started near the area where I found...

It's all good Jim. The thing with the Tesoro mod video is there's a small factory setting pot on the board that someone simply transplanted to the control face. Easy enough. If your 1000 has the same thing then it's possible. Post up pics. Like welding, you want a hot iron to heat up a local...

These are the cells I pulled out of the 2 converted alkaline packs for my V3i. Rated for 2600mAh. Dunno how old they are. Was going to recycle them, but most of the cells are still fine. If you're handy with a voltmeter you can rough match them and find out who wasn't pulling their weight in...

Just found this series today. Anyone else been watching it? Cool history and some detecting too.
