I located an area Saturday and had Dave look at it with me and we both agreed there should be a site in the area. Our instincts paid off and it turned out to be two sites on each side of a ponding river. Sites looked very old and buttons starting popping immediately. The first site was iron...

Nothing better than having a group hunt with great people and friends. I could tell Dan was itching to get back to these sites that we took him to a few weeks ago:yes: with so many cellar holes and lots of swinging area, it was perfect for a group hunt. These sites have been good to me and Dave...

Yesterday's cellar hole hunt had to be up there for one of the most grueling but it was worth it as I got my 1st 100% complete solid silver 1700's knee(breach buckle). It has a solid silver frame and brass tongue and chape that still swivels very smoothly. This particular spot was in the area...

Was a long grueling day but well worth it. We mapped out 3 potential sites Saturday and hit em all 7:ooam to 7:00pm. Dave researched one site and I researched the other two. My sites were kind to me I nabbed me a crusty 1780's Connecticut Copper, an 1817 Matron with beautiful detail, a Complete...

Hiked our butts off to detect a couple cellar holes today. Targets were very hard to come by as it seems these sites were already pounded extremely hard. Managed to squeak out a few keepers including a toasty Connecticut Copper. Finding a complete colonial keg spigot made me smile and helped to...

Any time Dan, we don't do it often enough. How do you like being a third wheel now?:yes: Dan, I am pretty sure your button is the same as mine that I dug a few months ago

Dan, I am glad you changed your mind and decided to join us Saturday. Please tell me how many aspirin you needed to take to soothe the aches and pains of a full day of cellar hole hunting with us:lol: I couldn't ask for a better day of cellar hole hunting. The weather was perfect with little...

I was going to wait to clean my finds but, I don't have any time this week to clean them. In fact, I am still cleaning buttons from the prior week. I have big changes with work that are very important and that is my top priority right now. I don't like posting just dirty finds but oh well. Oh...

Dave and I had mapped out 5 new potential cellar hole sites and decided to start at one that we felt had really good potential. I guess we made the right choice because we ended up spending the entire day at the 1st site. At around 5pm we remembered there was suppose to be another one about a...

2-1/2 hour road trip Friday night to MA. Dave Wise and myself got invited by Carol Rio to detect a field and some 1830 standing homes. Carol accepted us with open arms and made us feel right at home. Most of the people involved in our hobby are some of the greatest people I've ever met. This is...

I was thinking to myself as I was driving home from work today that I hadn't done any water hunting yet this year. I checked out the tide charts and noticed a slight negative low tide this evening for 8:39pm. Perfect timing for an early evening water hunt. Got to the beach at 6:30 strapped on...

I had to work most of the day but I brought my gear and headed out to a cellar hole for a quick hunt. I got back to a site that we have already hit once and was able to squeak out a few keepers. No idea what these people were trying to do to the 1824 Matron but it gives it a little character :lol:

Got out with Dave Saturday and a very late start on Sunday. Nabbed me two Connecticut's and a King George II. Saturday we spent most of the morning scouting possible new sites and then finally settled in. Turned out to be a great day as I was lucky enough to save 5 coins. Sunday was more of a...

Thanks to Scott Lannan, RI Terry and Dave for organizing Sunday's hunt. other than the 2 hour ride in, the hunt turned out great. I met Tim(massdirtfisher)Matthew and Howard Hewitt both really great people. I have hunted with Scott and Terry a few times before but it was great to get back...

Saturday got out with Dave to some cellar holes that Dave had hit with a few guys in the past. Lot's of hiking but manages to squeak out an 1876 CC seated dime on the lip of a trashy cellar along with my 1st shield nickel. On the final cellar hole I nabbed a very interesting patriotic eagle...

Met up with my friend Tom this morning at 8:00 am. The plan was to go in search of a cellar hole on some private property that I have permission to hunt. Dave and I did really well on this property last year and I was wanting to go back and find other cellar holes on this huge piece of property...

I had some time off from work last week so I decided to go on a quick solo hunt and scored me a beat up Connecticut copper. Dave and I also had a chance to hook up with the Dirt Digging Crew from Idaho and I have to say that it was a great time. Frank, Dave and myself met up with Brandon, Eric...

Hunting Saturday and Sunday really wiped me out and the infestation of gnats flying around our heads was just brutal:crying02:It goes with the territory so I am starting to get used to it. So we checked out a couple new sites that Dave and I had never been to. Kudos to Dave for getting us...

Good times hunting with Kevin(kpmoose) and Dave at the 1775 farm that Kevin invited us to. I was very excited for Kevin as he found his first silver and a nice one at that (1875 CC Seated Dime). Kevin and I work together so he was familiar with the types of finds that Dave and I have made. I...
