Looking to get out this weekend but hate digging in the snow. Any ideas where I can go?

Here are some additional pic's. 1934, 1949, Google Earth.

Got out today to a spot I've wanted to hit for a few years now. It's pretty far from home but I finally did it. I spotted these from historic aerials from a shot take in 1949. I was also able to see them in the 1934 shot, which is the earliest one available. Unfortunately the Topo's that go...

Hey all as I've been doing this for over 5 years now I've built up quite a collection of CT, NJ's, Regal Coppers as well as Counterfeits. I picked up a very interesting book http://www.amazon.com/Whitman-Encyclopedia-Colonial-Early-American/dp/0794825419 by Bowers, Q. David. It's a very...

Hey all, been a while since I last posted, but here are my finds from the last few hunts. One of these was with my buddy Frank. We hiked to the site & as I was pulling my tector over my shoulder I hear a SNAP! Snapped my toggle switch right off getting ready to start the day's hunt. :mad: Was...

Had Thursday & Friday off from work. Thursday decided to go back to my old virgin site where I got my cobb years ago. I gridded the heck out of this place with my 6x10 D Coil and was rewarded with 2 more coppers. One is a CT Copper, I believe it was a 1787. The other I believe was a KG III...

Got out with Frank yesterday to raid a spot of mine that I haven't been to since last fall/winter. Best hunt for the year! 1st target of the day was the St. Louis Bookmark! After that I took a stroll down coin ally and pulled 1 IH & 3 Wheaties. Coin ally is probably a 10 x 30 lane that has...

Got out with Fast Frank yesterday for an all day hunt. Temps were 46 at the start of the hunt and went up to about 70. Was able to cross off my 1st Shield Nickle off my bucket list. :clapping::yahoo:

Howdy Folks. Been a while since I've posted any of my finds so thought I'd bring you all up to date. It's been a hard year to find any coins and buttons have been even harder to find. So far to date I've netted 5 LC's & 1 IH. Nabbed my 1st DB of the season on Sunday at this Briar Patch....

Was out last Sun & couldn't get out of my own way. 1st & only site I went to was completely covered in prickers. While I trekked around the brier patch my tector got stuck on my backpack shoulder strap & had to pull it to get it free. I was able to find a somewhat decent area to swing & went...

Nice finds Dan. That conical item looks like a Burnside shell casing.

I've had my V3i for 4 years now (bought new). It's working with no apparent issues but was wondering due to all of the advanced electronics...etc...if I should back to Sweet Home for a check up. Anyone else do this? Thanks in advance, Roger

Just had to share! http://wtnh.com/2015/08/06/world-war...-70-years-ago/

This year has been by far the most challenging year to find any new sites that have not been pounded to death in my 5 years of hunting. I have hunted and hunted but CT really seems to be drying out. I really feel sorry for those that get into cellar hole hunting in the future as we have...

Just curious how the 13" compares to the stock 10" coil at cellar holes for: Depth, Stability & Weight. Is it that much better than the standard coil, is it really worth spending the $ on it. Anything else? Thanks, Roger

Well this year has been pretty dull but last Sunday I went to an old spot I had been to before. Went down the trail further and saw this wonderful looking site. Unfortunately all I found here was the pipe stem on top of a rock on the chimney pile, that someone had left there. Wandered down...

Hey all. Been a while since I've posted. So far this year it's been pretty dull + for some reason got kinda burned out. About a month ago was out hunting with Frank and noticed a tick in my leg while showering. About a week later was burning up with a 103 Temp for 3 days, so called 911 as my...

Hey all. It's been a loooonnnggg winter! Got out yesterday to some new sites using my new 10 DD coil after my orig one died due to a short in the cord. At hole #1 got the button as well as the shoe buckle. Moved along to the next set of holes & came up with nothing. On the way down to...

Well looks like we dodged the bullet as I have only about 5-6". Sending the boys out in a bit to shovel :devilish: :lol:
