Got out of work at 9:00 and met up with my cousin in a corn field that neither of us had been to before. The 1850's map shows a house in the middle of the field and the owner told us there use to be a barn there as well. Found the iron infested area and just went slow. Ended up with a nice 1865...

This spring I haven't been able to get much detecting in. My daughter's softball and work have kept me very busy. Most of the fields are planted or the hay is to high to swing so my cousin and I tried our luck in some small parks located along the river. Parks are way out of my comfort zone but...

Dave. Nice article in AD magazine! Will you autograph my copy?

17 Excelerator EQ2 Pro Coil for Minelab Musketeer. Original owner only used a couple of times. $100 will ship to lower 48.

This week can not get over fast enough... (hopefully the Myans aren't right though ). Last Satruday 12/15 I got out to a field I recently got permission for and was going to wait to the spring before going there, but the weather was nice (for December) and the wife and daughter were busy baking...

I'm heading to Florida next week and there is no way that I am leaving my detector home. What is the best way to pack your detector for travel by air? Any beach suggestions (east coast)? thanks Brian

Here is what I believe is an Eagle hat insignia badge that I found in 2010. This is the only pix I could find on my work computer. I will take a better one tonight, including the back. I have not been able to find anything on line that resembles this style. For all I know it may not even be an...

Thanks to Dan, Dave for taking myself and my brother in law Shane for a hike to hunt cellar holes. I've only been cellar hole hunting once before and that was by myself and it was nothing like yesterday. Although neither of us found any keepers the experience and finally meeting these guys was...

I am visiting my brother in law the weekend of Nov 3. He lives in the Willimantic area. Anyone want to meet up with the two of us? He 's fairly new to the area and doesn't have many spots to hunt.

October 16, 2012 – I was at the firehouse after work to catch up on some paperwork and I received a text from my cousin “I’m at the field u free”, well I had about an hour before I had to pick up my daughter from an after school program so I headed home grabbed my detector and mud boots and met...

September 28, 2012 – A couple of weeks ago I placed an ad on Craigslist offering my assistance to help find lost jewelry. Surprisingly a couple of days later I got an email requesting my services! It was a young wife asking for help to find her husbands wedding band that he lost playing...

September 22, 2012 - About twenty minutes into a group hunt in a New Hampshire farm field I found this 1724 TWO Reale. For awhile I thought it was a four reale but after research confirmed it was a two. Anyways, its my oldest dated coin and largest silver that I have ever found.

Found this on Saturday 9/15. My best guess is a escutcheon plate off of a musket?

September 15 – My brother in law Shane was home for the weekend and so we went to a field that we had not detected before. The field is about 3 miles north of the Saratoga battlefield and sits on a high spot overlooking the Hudson River. Shane had secured permission for us the night before and...

September 4 - I took a half day from work and brought my daughter to the beach to do some detecting. I thought this would be a great place for her to use her new Delta 4000 and the digging would be easy for her. Plus if she got bored there was a huge playground there. Anyways, we had a great...

Saturday 9/1 – Well I got out of my comfort zone and tried to find a cellar hole out in the woods. I got a lead on an old homestead out on the logging roads a couple of years ago. I looked it up and found the house on an 1860’s Beer’s map, however the house was not on a 1900 topo map. The 1940’s...

This may be my only finds post for awhile... most of the fields I detect are planted with corn or soybeans and my daughters softball tournaments are starting this weekend! Anyways hit a field that I thought I killed over the past couple of years. We have pulled about 50 1800's buttons from a...
