Seeing that this was my last hunt of the year I felt it appropriate to make a movie of the hunt. You can change the quality to 720HD under the quality icon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXE_zuOlKYk

Like I have said before, I am glad Dave is crazy enough as I am to hunt a colonial prior to s snow storm :hysterical: This was my 3rd visit to the colonial and 2nd with Dave. We new it was going to snow later in the day so we figured we could get a solid hunt in before the snow started. It was...

It was my turn to take Heavymetalnut to a hunt at a colonial site. I had done some long research and luckily found the site I was hoping to locate. Dave had previously posted his finds and explained how we were not too sure if it was a colonial settlement because there was no cellar hole but boy...

So here is a link of the video I uploaded with our hunt Saturday Dec 22nd 2012. Colonial Cellar hole hunting, I rushed making the video because I need to meet del and FSA46 for a water hunt today. There are a few mispelled words hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Recovering colonial lost...

First of all I just want to thank Dave for taking me to one of his sites today and because of that, I was able to knock one more coin off the bucket list. Secondly, it's nice to know that there really are other people out there that are as crazy and fanatical as myself about metal detecting...

So after alot of research I headed out in hopes of finding a cellar hole. :crossfingers: A one hour drive and a 20 minute hike into the woods and I stumbled upon an old abandoned dirt road.[attachimg=1] A good sign that I was heading in the right area so I followed the road north until it...

We had a very nice negative low tide today. It was around -.60 negative so I made it a priority to get in the water. As a was driving to my hunting site, I noticed a beautiful rainbow just as the rain was diminishing. I thought to myself...that rainbow has got to be a sign of a good hunt today...

Recently I got permission to hunt a 1720 house which is owned by a very kind couple. It is the original 1720 house with an addition that was added to the back of the home. There isn't alot of property around the house itself as the addition took away a good portion of the real estate. However...

Was an even low tide today and was able to get in the water for about 2 1/2 hours. I did manage another ring but it wasn't gold :-\ I turned up as an old 925 with makers mark stamp. also managed 3 silver coins and an old silver religious pendant, It has been 3 hunts with out gold :needadrink...

Dug a small button today and could see the image of an anchor on it so I thought it could be an interesting find. I am almost certain that it is a Rhode Island State seal Civil War cuff button but I am hoping that maybe some one can verify. That back mark reads D.E. Evans & Co. Extra and there...

Thanks to Frank a.k.a.(FSA46), for educating me on a particular map overlay. I wanted to put this map to the test today so I concentrated on some land that I was some what familar with and I noticed a building on an 1800's map that was no longer present on the 1934 map and when I checked current...

Found this on a old dirt cart or carriage road in the woods while trying out a new area. It rang up like a penny jumping between zinc and copper so I tought it was going to be an Indian Head cent. When I saw a big green patina disk I thought a large flat button at first until I was able to make...

I got in the water this morning for the 8th time in two weeks and answered the bell once again with my 6th gold ring. :happydance01: Good thing I have all the right gear because it was 31 degrees at the time I entered the water :frozen: Another 14k ladies ring but this one is very small, small...

We had a slight negative tide at around 7am so I headed to the water around 6am this morning. I was lucky enough to find gold looking at me from the bottom of scoop for my 5th gold ring in the last two weeks. She turned up as 14k ladies ring. I have hit the water 7 times in two weeks and...

I went to visit my uncle in Maine today and he was telling me about some foundations he came across while hiking. He took me to one of them so I figured I'd pull out the MXT Pro and give it a whirl. I was only their for about an hour and half and managed a few relics so this is where I need the...

5 of snow with more to come, two hours to get home from work and to arrive at my home and we have no power again....uuuuugh!!! :hairpulling: :hairpulling: :hairpulling:

Tropical storm Sandy really did a number on my neighborhood. She took 8 houses out into Long Island sound and 1 life from my neighborhood. After a week of recovering and clean up, I decided to head into the waters to see how much things were stirred up. My fear was that she brought more deep...

Im finally on a gold hot streak. After going through the summer with very little gold finds, I have been lucky enough to find three gold rings in the water this week. It seemed that hurricane Irene brought alot of extra sand to the shallow waters on the Connecticut beach's and finally the...

Sunday I got the 14k 1958 wedding band so I was itching to get back in the water. I decided to go back there the folowing two nights after work to see if I could get more gold. I just knew there had to be more gold since I was getting alot of old coin targets in the same area. Wednesday I got...

We were finally in line with a nice negative low tide today at 4:59pm. Instead of hunting the old farm fields, I decided to hit long island sound today. With a -.70 negative tide, I started my hunt about 2 hours ahead of the dead low time and waded out as far as I could go. I concentrated my...
