Got out for a few hrs to an old site of mine this afternoon before the rain started & was rewarded with a KG II. HH!

Got out yesterday with Frank. Not much passed under my coil but pull a Gold plated jewelry item. Think it was a cameo broach/locket as it has a hinge on it. Also pulled a 2pc button as well as this chain. HH!

Got out with Frank yesterday for a long day of hunting. Was up at 3am and at Franks at 6am, was back home at 6pm. We hit up 6 sites some we had been to and some we had not. Was nice to go back to some old sites to see what we had missed with our old machines, now that Frank is swing the Deus 2...

Back in 1975 when I was in Kindergarten my mom took out a book from the library for me that I vividly remember. I'm pretty sure it was this book but need some help. I remember it had black and white photos of treasure chests, skeletons, swords and such. I also remember it having a section...

Hey guys, looking to cut back on my work hours and looking for some ideas of new jobs to apply to. I'd like to work full time Mon-Thurs 8:30am-5pm but have Fri-Sun off. No weekends or holidays. Anyone know or have a job that fits what I'm looking for? Thanks in advance!

Got out with Frank on Sat for a few hrs back at our button site. This site has coughed up probably over 200 buttons, coppers and several other artifacts. Franks now swinging the Deus 2 & I'm now swinging the Manticore, so it's good to compare how both of our machines read targets. They are both...

Got out for a few hours on Sat afternoon to a spot close to home that I've hit hard with the V. Still getting used to my new machine but was able to sniff out a few targets. A 2pc Eagle button, think I see Horseman on it. Also snagged a 1pc flat button that looks to say Scoville on it. The pc...

For many years I've wanted to celebrate with a traditional treat that my Swedish, Norwegian and Danish ancestors would have had. This year I finally decided to go for it and bought my 1st Kransekake (Wreath Cake) out of NJ. This treat is also used at weddings where the bride and groom will...

Took today off from work and went back to my button house site that has given up over 100+ buttons, several coppers and other items I can't remember right now. It took some time to get used to the sounds as well as what the display was telling me. I still have a lot to learn but was nice to...

Wow gotta say that was a lot of rain and wind yesterday. Had to drive my son up to East Hartford to take his final exam for his 2nd semester in college as he was rear-ended last week and has a concussion. That will be one of a few memorable drives I've had. Can't believe how many people...

Took yesterday off of work and headed back up to Warren to some old spots of mine. Found my very 1st point on the lip of the cellar hole. It's called a Lamoka Point, New York State Museum - Projectile Point Type Collection (nysed.gov) As I've now learned it was probably used as a knife rather...

Got out for a bit today on a beautiful Fall Day. Nabbed a KG1, some Zouave buttons, Musket Ball, & some type of clasp. Got the Pewter spoon on a past hunt. HH!

Went out in the backyard this afternoon to begin to learn how this operates. I have not updated it yet as I wanted to see before & after tests, to see what if anything changed. What I noticed is that a Sliver quarter did not ring up at all, which I have no idea why, so need your help as to...

Took the day off from work today to hit a new site I found and was hoping that I'd avoid the rain as it's rained 15 of the last 20 weekends. Well, no luck avoiding the rain, aarghh! My pinpointer died, and my 10" DD Coil was acting funny, so switched over to my 6" DD Elliptical Coil. After...

Haven't bought one yet but very interested. Wondering what programs are being used as well as how it does at these sites.

Got out with Frank on Sat. As my V3i is in the shop he was gracious to let me swing some of his machines. Started off with the Deus and found the shoe buckle piece as well as the small acorn shaped pc. Not sure what it was but has some type of bumps on it. After a while I switched over to the...

It would appear my trusty V3I that I bought on 2/5/2011 is no more. Not sure what happened as I was at home today and putting in a new toggle switch as the old one was busted. When I put the battery in & hit the power button, nothing came on. Tried a different battery and still no luck...

Met up with Frank for another adventure into the woods. Nabbed 2 more coppers both KGIII's. One is 1778 the other is blank. Have a feeling the blank one is a younger version of him, what say you guys?

Took yesterday off to go back upstate to hit a few sites I've been working on. Used my 6x10 DD to see what I might have missed with my 10" coil. I was rewarded with some buttons one with the cloth still on it. I'm always amazed when this happens that the cloth has survived so long in the...
