I actually didn't get out last weekend, which sucked! This past weekend I got out Friday and Saturday, but the findings were meager. Which sucked! :lol: Got to meet yet another AD member Friday on an invite from Lee. He was knackered out from an all-nighter at work, and needed a bit of a kip...

Thanks everyone! No silver today, or anything weird. Just clad, but after getting home and counting; AD Achievement Unlocked: The Leslie Quota! :lol: Exactly 50. Wasn't keeping track, but looked like a good pile when I dumped my bag out. Fantastic day to be outside. Started at a park that was...

Didn't expect to get out with the rain predicted for the afternoon. Doing all my chores today so I can play tomorrow, supposed to be sweet out. Got done after 2, checked the radar, and chucked my stuff in the car. The rain wasn't far off, so I boogied down to the school I got that neat 40's...

Had a couple hours to play this afternoon after catching up on chores & family stuff. Which was perfect as the annual carnival here in town hit the road this morning, and had to wait for the town to do cleanup. Tossed my new (to me) V3i in the car and got to the park around 3. I set it for coin...

Thanks everyone for the input and advice. After poking through the goods, she came home with me. Worked fine, and even found a copper penny 5" down. Doesn't look like the case screws have ever been touched. The previous owner definitely used it. She has a few scrapes and scratches. Spent some...

So I get a call from a friend this weekend. One of our fishing buddies Dave is selling his uncle's V3i for $700. The last time Dan invited me out for a dig, he gave me the backstory of the V3i. Not exactly the smoothest road. Dave doesn't know jack about it, but thinks it's a few years old...

Headed a town over today to hit a small park in an older section. It's mostly used for baseball/softball, who's players must be raging alcoholics. The fields were absolutely polluted with pull tabs, screw caps, bottle caps, pull tabs, and can slaw. But, maybe 1/2 hour into digging drunken...

It did sound nice. Too bad it's lead crunk. The button is hollow on the back Dan.

I'm off most of this week, so I'd like to thank my employer for paying me to dig stuff in the woods today. Saw an area on Google Earth not far from me that had what looked like a stone wall, and decided to check it out for a few hours. Got to the area, and yep, there she was. The land inside...

It'll look mostly like this. Some differences between it and yours. Googling 4'th Pioneer Battalion brings up a lot of info. 1'st World War. http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/Documents/pioneer%20battalions.pdf

Got a late start today, as planned. Mr. Weatherman said this morning was supposed to be lousy, then clearing, but apparently he was wrong. So, by the time I got my Sunday chores done, I didn't get on the dirt until 1:30. Cool, breezy, and overcast. Awesome! Plan was to try the other school in...

Way cool find indeed! Here ya' go Dan.

I wasn't sure I was gonna post an underwhelming report (thanks for reading!), so the clad was washed and in the jar already. That's why I used a Post-It. :lol: Plus it's just clad, whoopdy-doo. The razor I'm still shaking dirt out of. Gonna get that baby working again and try it out...

Last week was pure evil at work, so hadn't thought about whatI was doing this past weekend. Had been in touch with Jim, and with Dan's previous blessings, we met up Saturday and I showed him a couple well played holes 10 minutes from my hut. Total bust for me other than crunk, but Jim squeaked...

Found this ring and an ox shoe on the inner corner of a couple walls. Looks to have broken off some part of the casting maybe. Also looks to have more wear away from the break. Anyone know what it is?

A big thanks to Dan again for the invite to join him for a day to check out a site. Took Friday off at the beginning of the week since it was going to be so nice, and that made it even nicer. Dan pointed out what we were looking at. A lot of fields and walls around a cellar hole on a farm that...

A big thanks to RobW for the invite to poke around his neck of the woods yesterday! Original plan was to hit some fields, but his buddy Tim had some research on the stove so a hunt for holes got included as well. Lots of laughs with those two, and plenty of new experiences for the noob. Got...

With this awesome weather, I'm sneaking in a few swings here and there this week. Stopped after work today at an old one room schoolhouse that sits on a decent sized lot, had 45 minutes to play. No doubt the place has been hit to death (saw a guy swinging there a week or two ago). Didn't take...

Warning: Lame report.... This weekend was a bust. Wandered into local woods I figured out who owned. Found stone walls, ammo leavings, and crazy growth & spider infestations. Oh well. Got home tonight tonight before 7PM to find the power was out. Was laughing with a friend earlier that it...

I was hoping there was a good story behind this. Awesome! Did he really use the word "nefarious"? Not sure I've heard that word spoken aloud outside of a movie. Plus he was going to shoot you and had the state police coming. He had all the bases covered, bravo. Now I really want to hit this...
