I bought my new V3i yesterday & decided to try her out at the place where I found my recent silver pocket spill. Immediately found a 1940 wheatie that my XLT had missed in the same area & same depth! Believe me I had gone over and over that spot... Considering the dates of these three I'm...

Got kidsitters for my boys and went for an ALL DAY hunt on Sunday with Handyman (Kevin) and Commotion (Heather) :yes: It was a beautiful warm sunny day and hunted an old school/academy that was especailly active in early 1900's. The yard was huge & nicely landscaped with tall shady trees...

Yesterday I went to the same place I found my Franklin Half (recently found out the house was built around 1830). Around the side of the house the grass is way too tall, waiting patiently for them to mow it :-\ ... As I walked through the grass towards a good patch of violets, I swung a little...

I have a good site lined up to hunt that was a civil war camp. The owner is very intrigued by what might be on property and the farm/ house she currently lives in, has been in her family for many generations. I was in the foyer asking permission when she whipped out this huge colored and...

I've been hunting plowed fields and construction sites for about 20 yrs now (thanks to Handyman teaching me way back when we were dating :)) So Kevin, you prob haven't seen most of these! It's such a wonderful hobby; getting out in the sunshine, looking out across the rolling hills making you...

lol JJ hey well you never know, some are! This one was 8 down next to house built I think in early 1800's. I'm thinking some sort of hoe--- searched through hundreds of farm implements to no avail. Anyone know right off hand?

I've been hitting this place quite often over the past 8 months, because it's right around the corner from my house- very convenient for a quick fix lol It's been on the market forever @ 1.3 million for 1800 house and 3 1/2 acres. I love hunting uninhabited houses, don't have to worry about the...

I found this in one of our oldest city parks (est 1902). It was about 4 inches deep (thought it was dollar -that's the size crying01 ) and is made of black glass material, not plastic, and is quite heavy. It looks like maybe a pin with the back inside part missing... I'm curious how old it is...

Since I started MD'ing, I've been adding my wheats to hubby's collection booklet that he started as a boy and lost interest. Mine are not quite as 'nice' as his lol How should I clean them to get the deep set dirt off? I've heard briefly about a hydrogen peroxide/ baking soda method- will...

Here's a neat site, have you heard of the t.v. series? I'm trying to hunt it down... Check out the last one down on the left- Treasure Hunts. This guy and his co-host lead them. I signed up to learn more (find out how many $1,000's it will cost... lol) If the price is right, I'd love to go on...

Hunted this afternoon at an old Bluegrass Trust Historic Building near my house and found an odd shaped 'bullet':huh: (anyone know bullets real well?) and my first Navy button and old key to add to my collection lol I'm sure we all have one, huh? And the other day hunted my mom's yard to dig...

Okay, I've been bragging about my $2000 Sand Crab HotWheel... Last fall I found it near my mom's flowerbed and Googled it. To my astonishment I saw 3 separate listings on different collector's sites, one was EBAY--- being sold for $1,600 - $2,000! I just looked up again and they are all over the...

Went out hunting with Handyman (Kevin) and Commotion (Heather) today and dug up '59 rosie and a sweet silver and turquoise ring! And then a couple days ago took my boys to a neighborhood park & found a thick sterling ring with intricate engravings (celtic/pagan looking) and Logan (2 yrs old lol)...

My friend called yesterday to go arrowhead hunting in our fave field, we've been hunting now for years. She enticed me by telling me about the point and flint knife she found over the weekend. Before I left to meet her, I decided to google earth the farm, suspecting there was and sure enough...

Over 50 hunters met at Boy Scout Camp near Columbus Ohio and had a great weekend. Got lucky and didn't get rained out Friday or Sat (there was constant talk of impending storm and tornadic winds). I'm not sure about Sunday- I left early, on Sat night... Anyway my first big group hunt was great...

Went hunting with Magic, Amy, and Handyman yesterday and found these! I didn't score on all the silver like my MD buds, but am happy with my goodies :twirlingeyes: Need help identifying please :) The coin and the U.S. thinga-a-ma-doodle. I looked online for a little while (for the...

Actually she's going to hang it from her rearview mirror :) Nothing spectacular, but it's the thought that counts, right? Her favorite colors & I went ahead and gave it to her for early Easter gift...

Most of you know I'm new to detecting and have only found 1943 nickel and Siam sterling ring, as far as silver goes (w/my Prism IV). But my new XLT found these in an old city park! I'm so happy... 1949 is the year my mom was born- thought I'd make a necklace or keychain for her for Mother's...
