I didn't go to any new sites this past week due to other stuff I had to do and the fact I was in Western Massachusetts the entire weekend. I was originally supposed to go to Maine but plans changed and we went to the Berkshires instead. I brought the derector along but never ended up having time...

I've been lucky to find most of my local cellar holes to be pretty much never hunted before. Well, one of them I think was hit by some guy in the past who only dug high tones and left a ton of buttons and some other goodies but that's another story. Anyways usually if a site is within 15 minutes...

I didn't have a ton of time to detect this weekend but still managed to get out. I did a different kind of research and at the spur of the moment found a site in an town I've done well in but hadn't really gone in the certain area. The area was sorta isolated from the rest of the public land so...

This morning I headed out with Jarrod to do some cellar hunting. I had no school and his work got postponed due to the weather so we decided to try a nice colonial hole we had recently found. It was on the side of an extremly old road (now just a pedestrian trail) and in an area we've done a lot...

Saturday was my birthday (turned 19) so I didn't have time to do a ton of digging. I went deer hunting with my dad in the morning, and then went kt to lunch so that left me a few hours in the afternoon to head out. I decided to head to a local cellar hole I've been hitting since May of 2014...

Saturday morning Jarrod and I headed back to the Virgin site we had found the previous week. I knew there had to be more there since we got so much in such a short time. This time, I woke up and did NOT sleep through my alarm :clapping:. We got to the spot early. The sun wasn't even up yet. We...

Saturday was probably one of the best hunts I have ever had. After struggling for several months, I think luck is finally on my side once again. Saturday started out on a bad note as I slept through my alarm and woke up at 6:20 AM, the exact time I was supposed to be meeting Jarrod at a local...

It's been a rough going the past month and a half and its changed the way I think and operate as a detectorist. I began to doubt myself and grow jealous of others. I've changed my ways and I think it finally paid off yesterday. I went with my dad to a cellar hole on private land that my dad...

When you hike 10+ miles and detect from 7:30 AM-4:00Pm you would assume it's because you're having an amazing day. That was not the case for me. The day started off promising as Jarrod and I headed over to CT to hunt woods near his relatives houses that looked to have multiple cellar holes in...

This year I have encountered several sites that looked good when I got there. No dig holes, iron on rocks... So I put the coil down and end up usually dissapointed and pull out 1-2 buttons, a relic, some shot gun shells and occasionally a stray copper. The strange thing is I've been to other...

Gonna keep this brief. Last few weeks have been absolutely horrible on the detecting front. Since September started I have stepped on not one, not two, but three underground wasp nests and been stung 2/3 of the times. It has gotten so bad that I have been nervous to even venture off the trail...

I am a very competitive person and always want to be the best at something. I want the most coppers, most silvers, oldest finds, most valuable finds and so on. Of course one person could never be the champion of all those categories but it's something I try to do. Unfortunately this leads to...

For the past year I have been trying to get myself to knock on a door and get a permission. So far I've done it less than 10 times and was only accepted once with people being not home most of the time. People tell me Its easy and the worst they can say is No. That may be true but I have never...

I haven't posted in the past few weeks so this is going to be photo-heavy and word heavy. I guess I will start about what happened on August 20. On August 20 I made the foolish mistake of not eating or drinking for at least 13 hours before going detecting at some really old cellar holes in what...

I found out today I will be heading up to New Hampshire for three days next week with the family. Of course I am bringing the detector. I am planning to it a few cellar holes so it's gonna be fun. Can't wait to hopefully bring a piece of New Hampshire history back to Little Rhody. Happy hunting.

I did some scouting last week and located a few holes to hit with my buddy Jarrod again on the weekend. While scouting I saw a snake slithering away from me. This was only a week or so after my encounter with the rattlesnake conservation officer CT. I've never seen a snake in the woods before so...

Headed over to CT today to do some scouting at some potential sites Isaac and I might hit later this month. I was only planning on hiking today and did not take any of my detecting gear with me. I park at the trail head and as soon as I park an unmarked SUV pulls up to me and a conservation...

This morning I headed back to the cellar hole I did well at last weekend but this time I invited a fellow detectorist who I met at D.I.N.E. named Jarrod. We had already gone on one hunt together previously but didn't do so well so I was hoping we would fare better this time. It turns out we...

Today marked one of several times I've been chased out of the woods this summer by horse flies. Despite being drenched in DEET those stupid things still attack and bite me. Now I know why I have all those random bites on my back. I think they've been biting through my shirt. Time to invest in a...
