Well I had to tend to a Ford Ranger water pump today. Since the weather was good, rather than stay inside on the Ipad, I made my daughter play outside. She decided to swing the Ace 350 for a while. My house was built in 1970, and was originally just steep pasture land that held no previous...

I recently purchased a broken Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300 detector on the real cheap. The 2013 unit was in good overall condition, but had an inked LCD and was missing the battery cover. The price was right and I figured I could part it out on a certain auction site and make a dollar or two. On...

We have a historic park here in town. It is hunted regularly, but there are still good coins being found. A 1909 Barber dime was found in December. There is an abandoned railroad that borders one side of the park. The railroad was elevated about 30 feet above the park grade, and it is heavily...

I may have stumbled upon my best metal detecting find of 2015,,,,,, already. I went to the flea market this morning and there were only a hand full of sellers, due to the cold weather. I noticed a detector on one of the tables an walked over. The detector was a new Bounty Hunter. Also on the...

2014 was big year of learning for me,, not a lot of great finds. The South Carolina button I found in April was my best. Then I spent most of the summer months with a fly rod in hand. Second I guess would be the Dodge Bros. emblem.

I just found Tony Two-Cent's youtube channel ( you gained a subscriber today Tony),,,,, who else here posts videos to youtube?

I picked this up on the edge of a powerline today. It had a folded plastic bag in it. Unmarked. It seems to be galvanized coated. Any ideas?

(( No detecting was done today )) I was bound and determined that the rain was not going to keep me housebound today. My daughter had been asking me to take her to an old home site I found close to her elementary school. Today was as good as any. I've hunted this place only once and brought...

Maybe it's being housebound and boredom due to a cold rainy day, but Drew's "what should I have found already" thread made me think of this. I remember when I first got a detector I would spend hours on youtube studying techniques, finds and equipment. It doesn't take long to notice that some...

The scenario- You've obtained permission to detect a very large field. This permission will allow you to return as often as you want, so you can relax and be thorough. The question- What are some techniques used for gridding off a property to insure you aren't simply wandering around with a...

Anybody got a reccomendation for that one book that could be used for identifying 90% of the typical civil war relics we find. I know there are books that specialize on buttons, firearms and such,,, but is there one good reference book that would cover most items found? -Jason

I struggled deciding whether to title this " The breastplate that never was",,, or "What a fool believes" I went out for a short hunt after work this afternoon. My goal really was to work through some language barrier issues between my detector and my brain. I think maybe my brain is catching...

Howdy Y'all, Been piddling with an ACE 350 for a year now,, also picked up a Bounty Hunter Platinum. Can't say I'm pleased with either machine. Mineralized soil and hot rocks keep my guessing. Saving up for an upgrade to an AT Pro probably. Seems like y'all have a nice site here. Hope you...
