Three more coppers today making that 12 out of this site. Targets were almost non existent for the 1st couple hours, thinking we must had done a good job at cleaning the site out last week, when Dave called out copper. Then as if Dave had called out to the copper gods... our coils suddenly...

Had to work today so I planned on a short hunt at a new site. I only had about 2 hours to dig so I went right from work. The site was pretty trashy as it was close to the road but still managed a few keepers . My find of the day was a Andrew Jackson president victory button and my first Jackson...

With little sleep and long work days, I finally got time to post my finds. Dave already gave you the story of finding a cabin site that our spiderman senses helped us sniff out. Kudus to Dave on spotting the well in the middle of thick thorn bushes. I feel this is a virgin site as the finds were...

Making the post short as I have to get up early tomorrow to hunt 1732 Home stead. Yesterday I found an old site that Dave and I had a hell of a time finding. It was a beautiful site deep in the woods and our hopes were high thinking that there was a chance of a Virgin site since it was in a...

I can't believe that Dave and I forgot to mention that on Saturday, we came face to face with a black bear!!! :shocked03: :shocked03: If the armies of mosquitos were not bad enough, we also ran into a black bear that day. After hunting the first hole we tried to find another site and while...

As Dave would say Poster's out west think we have it easy in New England with all the old colonial sites. Well let me just say that today had to be one of the worst conditions to hunt in. Wet, hot, and humid = armies of mosquitos. :girlcry: Dave was not exaggerating, these critters really...

I had to visit the dentist yesterday morning so I decided to revisit an old site that produced some old coins and colonial relics for me in the winter. I guess we did a good job at cleaning out most of the finds the 1st visit with only a few keepers left to take home this time. The heat and...

I got in the water for the first time this summer as I wanted to take advantage of the negative tides. With only 2 hours to hunt, I found a low old spot that produced some old silver but no gold today >:(

Had to work a half a day today but made sure I brought my gear along. I had two new potential cellar hole sites near my work that I wanted to try and find so I went out solo after work to locate them. Some bush wacking and swamp crossing finally got me to the sites. The over growth was out of...

Got out with you know who again on Sunday. Seemed like we walked more than we actually hunted :stretcher: The holes were pounded pretty good but I was still able to find my first copper pocket spill that included two coins, Coppers #29 and #30 for the 2013. The area was extremely saturated and...

Originally we were going to head up to Mass. and hunt but the recent heavy rains had probably flooded the area pretty good. Luckily Frank invited Dave and I to one of his spots. I want to thank Frank again for the invite as I had a pretty good day. The Mxt Pro was running smooth as silk again...

Saturday Dave and I tried some new cellar holes in Massachusetts. Some of the sites were heavily hunted already but at one particular hole, every target seemed to be very old. This site was good to me and not so good to Dave. I could hear him in the background moaning and sighing if I dig up one...

I finally found some time to clean up my finds from Sundays hunt with SafariScott and HEAVYMETALNUT. Scott was kind enough to invite us into his neck of the woods on Sunday. I could not have asked for better company to hunt along with. Scott is a pleasure to hunt with and made me feel right at...

I met Stacey thru my metal detecting club. She seemed very interested in my cellar hole finds that I would bring to the club meetings. Immediately we hit it off as she seemed to have that special passion that some of us detectorist have for finding the old stuff. She had never hunted any cellar...

Dave and I hit two cellar holes today that we had never hunted before. The first hole was tuff to find and we actually walked right by it and only found it after back tracking about 30 mins later lol. The first copper I got here was right near the entrance and turned up as a 179? Draped bust and...

I cleaned up the rest of my finds from New Hampshire and discovered that what I originally could be either a button or a coin in fact, is a coin. This was found at an old cellar hole site and I am leaning towars a KG coin. The bust is facing to the left? The first pic has the coin on top left.

I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled on Friday so after spending the last two days in bed, I gave Dave a call. We hit one of his sites today for a few hours. Dave told me they were heavily hunted but we just wanted to get out and do some detecting. Not many keepers to post but at least I found a well...

I took Kpmoose to a cellar hole on Saturday after work. This was the cellar that I got a civil war token and Peddler badge previously so I thougnh we would give it another try. My finds included an Indian, Merc and a 1858 Flying Eagle Cent. Sunday I got back out with Dave and tried two cellars...

Last week I made a 4 day trip to New Hampshire for the Bone Hunt #20. The hunt it self is always fun but my main goal was to find some cellar holes. My friend John and I left each bone hunt early to concentrate on finding the cellar holes. Prior to the trip, I had researched some potential spots...

Dave always beats me to the forum but thats only because I have to drop his butt at home and then drive 35 mins before i get home :teasing: Anyway, we decided to free lance it into the woods today and try and find cellar holes that are to old to be on the maps. On a hunch that Dave had, we...
