Dave and I had been planning a trip to Long Island for weeks. We were invited to detect some areas by Scott Newman and Todd Brush, two great hosts that welcomed us to some of their hunting spots out there. I had to get up at 3:30 am to pick up Dave in order to make the first ferry out of port...

Thanks for the info on the Silver Smith counter mark Dan and Dave, thanks for researching the reale. I believe the bust is facing right Dan. This is what my eyes are seeing but I think Dave is probably correct on the date.

After 6 months of contemplating Dave and I finally decided to go for a 3 mile hike through ruff terrain to find a cellar hole. We knew there was a cellar hole at a certain location but we weren't sure if it would be worth the trouble. A few months prior, we spoke to a woman that told us her...

I am very cautious about ticks in my neck of the woods as they are everywhere when we hunt. I am constantly pulling them off me and burning them till they pop like a popcorn kernel. I always make sure my pants are tucked into my socks and all layers of shirts are tucked into my pants. When I get...

The war of 1812 button is very stubborn so I decided on a warm peroxide bath and it finally loosed up the thin hard shell of dirt enough for me to chip most of it off. I am undecided on where to go next. There is some stubborn green vertigre in spots. What do you guys think???:thinkingabout:

Recently I had researched some areas and found a possible cellar hole area that I thought looked very promising. Turns out the land is on private property :bummer: However, after a week of hunting down the land owner, I was able to get the permission to metal detect the vast area. 94 acres to...

Dave and I tried another new site today and although it was already hit pretty good, we still managed to pull out some nice keepers. The War of 1812 Artillery button was on top of the ground. When I heard the target I kicked the leaves away and there it was right on top of the dirt. I haven't...

After 6 long weeks of not being able to swing the coil, we finally made it out yesterday:detecting: It felt great to get out again. Last summer I found a spot that I had pulled a few coins and a sword hilt but the extreme over growth prevented me from searching most of the area. Decided to...

Dave and I had been wanting to get to a few sites that we had found last year but flooded rivers and swamps had blocked our access points when we made an attempt to get to them. When we found out that Dan and George had recently been to the sites, we decided to roll the dice and try it anyway. I...

Dave and I were at again this past weekend trying some new sites and revisiting others. As Dave already mentioned, two of the sites had visitors that we must have just missed. With very fresh holes left open everywhere, we both just shook our heads in disgust:disgusted: I looked at Dave and said...

I need some advice on cleaning and restoring my two Eagle Sword Belt Plates that I dug recently. Dan, Dave , George or anyone out there with experience in restoring these rare relics please watch this video to get a good idea of their condition. I DON"T want to screw this one up!:crossfingers...

We knew that New Years Day was going to be a cold one but we just had to get out before the real cold and snow arrives. I had my eye on a sight that I spotted a few days ago. Not knowing if there would be a cellar hole in this area, we decided to go for it anyway. After a good hike into the...

So Dan sends me a PM Sunday night for an invite to hunt Monday. I have to work every time Dan wants to get a hunt together.:hairpulling: I decide to call my boss and ask to burn a vacation day and luckily I get the green light. I can't even begin to express how much fun it is to hunt with such...

Ray(Kray) comes up north from Virginia for the Holidays and he wanted to do some cellar hole hunting with Dave and I. We first met Ray a couple of years ago when Dan invited him on a hunt. Ray is a great guy and is eager to find his 1st state copper, So we took him to a few sites we thought...

I was itching to get some swinging in so Dave and I decided to hit some holes in the snow on Saturday. It was a very wet and muddy hunt but I am very glad we got out yesterday as we both had great hunts. According to our research, we expected to be hunting one cellar hole however, to our...

Got back to the property that I have permission to hunt on Sunday. We decided to hit one of the corn fields where once stood a homestead. After a few hours of swinging in the rain all I had to show for my efforts were a few wheat pennies. Then I got a familiar sounding target that sounded nice...

I was eager to get back to the cellar hole that is on private property that I have permission to hunt any time. Last week I got the Eagle Belt Plate and other eagle relics. I was obviously very eager to get back there this weekend. I was not disappointed! My first target was a nice old dandy...

Today I was able to secure permission to hunt on two sets of private property with over 800 acres undisturbed land. There are a number of cellar holes waiting for me to explore them. Today I took Dave with me to meet up with my friend Tom, he is responsible for introducing me to the land owners...
