Took yesterday off & hit a few sites. Was pretty warm out & managed to get a sunburn on the back of my neck. Nabbed my 1st copper of the year 1853 & tied for last year, so need to get a few more by the end of the year. Also nabbed 2 flat buttons as well as the cool Silver Thimble. At another...

Found this ax last weekend with Frank. Was thinking it was a trade ax but apparently, it's an old camp ax. Soaked in vinegar, then White vinegar and finally molasses. Scrubbed it with a brass wire brush as well as using my Dremel steel wire brush. Gave it a nice coat of renwax and buffed it...

Got out for a few hrs today at a nearby site. Nabbed my 1st copper of the year 17xx KGII as well as an 1882 IH. Felt good to dig a copper as it's been a long drought. Thought this year was going to be a bust.

Got out with Frank yesterday. Was about 26* when we hit the ground & the shovels were cold! Had to use handwarmers for the 1st time in a long time. We pounded 3 sites until sundown with some buttons, escutcheons, as what's it's found. The buffalo is 1937. The bracket item looks like it is...

Got out yesterday with my buddy Frank for a hunt. Nabbed my 2nd Shield Nickle, 1867 and a bunch of buttons. Got the 1903 V Nickle, Double Guilt Button & Drawer pull a few weeks earlier.

Looks like I might need to get a new D2 coil for my V3i. The darn plastic casing wire by the connector has cracked & I fear my coil may be going. Very glad I still have the 6x10 Eclipse as a backup. I reached out to Centerville Electronics, but they do not repair the connectors. Any ideas who...

Got out yesterday to an old virgin site of mine I've pounded on and off for years. Used my 6x10 DD to see what I might have missed. Spent several hrs there re-gridding the site & was rewarded with the Flintlock hammer, pc of a shoe buckle and an odd pc that looks like a shell casing, and a...

Got out with Frank yesterday for an all-day hunt. Was up & 4am and on the road to Frank's by 5:15am. Think I got home about 6:30pm & out like a light by 8:30 thanks to Advil PM. Lots of ground was covered but the 1st site of the day was the only one that produced. Found these 3 big cloakers...

Hey guys. Seeing the weathers been crappy decided to get back into my Genealogy search into Norway. Looking for any free online websites that might be helpful to learn to speak & read Norwegian. I've found a few but curious to see what other have used.

Those are cool hobbies guys. I like the down the barrel shots. I've had a ton of different hobbies in my life. One of my favorites was being a Confederate CW Re-Enactor for 12 years before kids. I'd say this pic was taken about 1996. I'm the 1st one kneeling on the left by our flag. This...

And found an 1865 IH and an 1853 LC. Found this nice spoon bowl as well. Now All I need is an 1860 IH to complete the CW time period.

Went back to the site where I found the Pres. Adams cufflinks. I gridded the entire site & was rewarded with what looks like a CT as well as this beautiful ball button. Luckily did not see any bears today or any porcupines. Any ideas on the ball button for age? Was this a military button?

Got out with my friend Frank today to hit up some sites up north. Ran into a Black bear (no pictures) as we were shouting & banging our shovels to scare it away. Happened upon a porcupine and backed off. Got a pair of Pres. John Adams cufflinks as well as 2 buttons. The Buckle is silver but...

Both Red

Anyone know where to buy Whites Accessories other than thru Centreville Electronics? Garrett's website does not even list anything from Whites. Seems Garrett bought Whites & then has let that Brand die off.

Whelp looks like I'm in for a direct hit. Glad I got my 2-100gal tanks topped off 2 weeks ago. Power is likely to be out for at least a week. Property is all secured down, now the wait begins. Stay safe folks!

Got out yesterday with Frank to some new sites, nabbed 2 coppers (Ct & ??) as well as 2 buttons, a garter or corset clip (I think) as well as this Religious Medal, looks to say Patented 1846 & 1848. Also spotted what I think are moose & bear tracks.

Not sure what it was, earing perhaps, but has a spring on the inside with teeth on the ends. Also got a musket ball. The spoon was from my last hunt as well as the handle with the initials OEM.

Was out with Frank last Friday in Goshen on the side of a dirt road drinking from a puddle after the rains. Frank went to get a picture as it climbed a tree for safety. Frank did not get hit, lol. Anyone else see them?
