We upgraded to a server with more space last evening. However, a few gliches remain and these will be fixed this evening. There will be downtime of approximately two minutes sometime in the later evening for this process to be completed. One gliche is that email notifications are currently not...

We mentioned a couple of weeks ago that we would be implementing a change in the process for choosing monthly award winners for the best find. Previously, these winners were chosen via a voting process by the AD staff. However, we have decided to open this voting process up to the members of...

We are currently testing some new ways to display the finds banner. :) We have somewhat outgrown the old process as we now have many more members making great finds and we need to add space. We also will be implementing a process where finds will be added to the banner soon after they are...

I am a basketball fan -- anyone else following the NCAA games? I 'trained' my 11 year old daughter as well and she watches with me and keeps track too. :) After Missouri and Duke both lost tonight, I need to just tear up my brackets though :cheesysmile: but I don't think I am alone there :)

Please join us in welcoming CODY as our newest global moderator :) Welcome Cody! We thank you in advance for your assistance :yes: The American Detectorist Staff

Had a rare two days this month (this weekend) to detect and the weather more or less cooperated. I went to a nearby city and stayed overnight Saturday to get two days in. Saturday was cold and I had to stay out of the open areas (it was snowing too) so I went to a park that had lots of wooded...

Some may remember that back in September, because of some important issues that Angel (angellionel) needed to address in his life, he entrusted the American Detectorist site/forum to me as sole owner. He did not feel he could do adequate justice to it with his limited time. He had fully intended...

When I was back in Iowa over the holidays my grandmother (who is 97 years old) gave me her old metal detector. She asked me to please get it working and to find some old coins with it. When I became interested in detecting years ago I had no idea that my grandmother had ever had an interest in...

I haven't been out in forever, and wasn't going to post this but thought it might be awhile before the next time too. I went back to Iowa for the holiday. I only was able to detect for about 35 minutes, but found a merc (deep - maybe 10 inches) that looked like it was dropped just off the...

Just wanted to let others know... I just completed my first order with our sponsor New England Detectors (Andrew and Snapolson) and I have never had a better experience. I cannot recommend them enough. :perfect10: :perfect10: Thank you!

Hi everyone :) It's been awhile since I was able to get out detecting, but did so this afternoon for a couple of hours. Went to a park that has been well-hunted but is large, and I hoped would hold some potential for silver. Wasn't able to find any last time there, though. It was a beautiful...

Please welcome Snapolson as a co-worker with Andrew (minelabdealer), one of our sponsors: New England Detectors. Snapolson will be an active presence here and will be able to answer any of your questions about New England Detectors. I know that many of our members already know both of them as...

Please use this thread to post AD contest entries.

Two years ago today the American Detectorist forum was born. :) Thank you to everyone who has made this place a success. This is a contest to celebrate the anniversary. :happydance01: To enter, all you have to do is post your most memorable hunt, or experience, etc. since joining AD. Prizes...

Please note that the AD forum and site are being transferred to a new server this evening around 10PM. We have done everything possible to keep any downtime/disruption to a minimum but there may be a short period when the forum is inaccessible. Thank you for your patience! Please let me know...

I have heard from three or four people who buy W&E Treasures off the rack that Angel's article in the November issue is excellent :) :smitten: I have a subscription, but I won't get mine until next week :rolleyes: I wanted to be the first to congratulate you Angel :) I hope to see more of such...

No reales here, but I do what I can. Got out for about 2.5 hours today. It was beautiful weather and although I didn't have the full day I took advantage of what I did have, and went to a local park that has been well hunted. I love my E-Trac..... Nothing exceptionally old, but I did find...

I have been very bad about posting finds lately. 8/ These coins came from two after-work hunts this spring at a nearby public park. The trashy areas paid off :happydance01: and this is where I found most of the mercs, as well as on the outskirts of the park, which is where I found the trime too...
