I figured I would start a thread to show off some of the before and after pictures and try to give some tips or directions on each example given. This large cent had a green hard stubborn "cement-like" layer , unfortunately it also had a small amount of pitting hiding under this layer but...

Well I thought i would put a picture together of my shoe and knee buckle finds so far for the year . these are one of my favorite things to find (colonial knee and shoe buckles) and while i find broken pieces these are just the complete frames and or whole complete buckles just for this year...

Brisk early Autumn morning Saturday as Trooper Bri and I trudge out into the woods in search of undetected sites ;). Our first site was a good half mile or so in and its a nice little stone lined depression with a chimney mound rising in the back . Its always a great feeling to be at a "new"...

This morning was a drizzly autumn day , the woods were wet from last night rains and the hiking was a wet and cold one . Thiltzy (Todd ) and I were the only two to brave the weather and seek the "treasures" .Our first site was a great looking cellar with large chimney but right away there looked...

Yesterday was a hunt that i had planned for a week or two . I had a friend (Donnie B.) come up from New York to hit some cellar sites with Heavymetal nut (Dave ) and Thiltzy (Todd) , Trooper Bri was invited but unfortunately Brian couldn't make it . After parking the vehicles we set off into...

I've only been out a couple of times in the last two months . The weather is really finally starting to cooperate and getting nice . The first set of pictures are from a small cellar site that i only had about an hour to detect it before it got dark. My keepers were a pretty small shoe buckle...

I have a question and maybe an issue with my private messages , I am not receiving any and I sent Tony and another person a couple and have not heard back since. I was wondering if my capabilities have been rescinded when i was taken of Administrator active?? Dan

If your nearby , stop in and see and meet some great hobbyists , Treasure hunters and see some great exhibits and displays !!

These make for nice easy display holders and they are fairly cheap to find at tag sales or flea markets . They can usually go for $25 to $35 dollars for nice "weathered" looking examples around here in New England but i picked up three of them for $10 bucks apiece . I gave one to Trooper Bri...

You ever have a interesting looking item you found but knew nothing or very little about it ? You posted the item on the forum when you first found it only to not get a lot of help in identifying it or just enough to point you in the right direction . Then later on as you learn more or...

Hey all this first picture was from a short hunt about a couple of weeks ago . nothing spectacular find wise but some interesting things . Its been brutally hot here in New England for an extended period now and with not much rain to speak of and needless to say the dirt under the heavy leaf...

Last Friday I got out with MangoAve (Jim) we hit three sites to kill half a day . I managed a 1753 King George II Hibernia half penny . Also I got this very toasty King George III copper that was turned into a child"s toy (Whizzer) . Thanks for the company Jim !:thumbsup02: Sunday...

I was invited out by Robert and his dad Mark to hunt a few cellar sites last Saturday . They proved to be some tough nuts to crack , obviously detected very thoroughly before :hairpulling:. My only coin of the day was a "braided hair" large cent to keep my copper streak going. A big thanks goes...

The Staff and I here at AD would like to wish a Happy Father's Day to all the Dads . Lets see some some happy Dads !! Me and my two girls , that keep me on my toes and make me always incredibly proud. Dan

I made a last minute decision this morning to get out before the rain , this was a new site i've been wanting to try and for the few hours I was I thought I did pretty well. This was a nice looking "older" type cellar with the stone was very collapsed but a bit larger than most . My first...

Just a reminder that all our freedoms came at a dear price and to take a moment this Memorial Day to remember , to give our respects to the fallen men and women heroes who paid that price and the families that have to endure that loss. Thank you .

We at American Detectorist would like to wish all the Mother's here a warm and joyous day surrounded by loved ones !
