My wife has been bugging me for the past couple of weeks to check out a spot she researched on the web. She used historic aerials.com to locate some buildings that were abandoned around 1950 and are now in wooded parkland. We drove to the park late this morning and hiked to the general location...

Today I went to a nearby neighborhood park. It is where I usually go when I have limited time and don't want to travel far. It's been worked over pretty good and I was going over it slowly with my deep silver program. The detector caught an iffy signal bouncing around in the 70 and 80 VDI range...

I don't usually hunt much in the summer because I can't take the heat and the ground here usually turns into concrete. But...the wife had to get out and try her Cutlass as it is fresh from the Tesoro factory with a new coil. She spotted a park from the commuter train recently that had a baseball...

Hey folks, I haven't posted in a while because I don't hunt much in the summer but on Sunday, I will be driving my wife to a conference in Nashville. She will be away during the day on Mon and Tues and I thought I would see if there are any places to detect nearby. I will be downtown at the...

I found this ring today in a spot where I have found lots of wheaties, mercs, and parts of Red Ryder toy guns. It might actually be worth a little bit. Aside from the ring the wife and I found 10 wheaties.

I did go out with her in the morning to a new spot and didn't find anything but 4 modern nickles. She was raring to go again in the afternoon but I was pooped so I dropped her off at the edge of our usual hunting grounds. I said find me some silver! Well...she did. Plus some other goodies...

I haven't gotten around to posting for the last couple of weeks but we had a few notable finds. Last weekend we met up with V3 in MD and a couple of his friends to try out a spot that he had researched. My wife came up with a nice 3 ringer and a 1906 Indian head penny. I found another 3 ringer...

Today the wife and I were in our usual woods. I found 4 wheaties and one silver merc. Additionally, I found a religious token, an earring, a gold plated ring, and while perusing around an old privy pit, picked up a neat bottle that was sitting on the surface. The wife didn't have as many finds...

This past week I have finally been able to hunt for the first time in about 2 months. As many of you probably know, the snow has been unusually heavy here in the DC area. Last year we were able to hunt all winter. Had about 4 outings in the usual woods and local parks. Came up with about $10 in...

I am Looking for a relatively low cost upgrade to what I have, particularly for depth and am contemplating getting a Vaquero. Currently own a Golden Sabre II, Cutlass II umax (that my wife claimed) and an XLT. Just looking for feedback from those who own/have owned a Vaquero. I like the depth...

I was cleaning out my fanny pack that is use to hold trash and realized that I had forgotten about a couple of items that I tossed in there during last Sunday's Hunt. One was a pretty solid, 2 square piece of metal. I washed it off and saw that it said Avon on one side. It is an old makeup...

After the wife showed me up yesterday, I had to make some good finds to save face. This morning we went to our usual woods. I told the wife that I wanted to try a spot that we have avoided so far because the undergrowth is very thick. This was the best time of year to hit this area as it is...

Today the wife and I went to a nearby old park that surrounds a small lake. We have been here before and had some limited luck even though I believe it gets detected pretty regularly. I started the day on the heavily used areas and she decided to go inside the adjacent woods and poke around. I...

This past Saturday was the first day in about 6 weeks that the wife and I could get out and hunt. It has been unusually cold and snowy here this winter. We spent a good portion of the day in our usual woods. I found a few wheaties, a 41 nickle, a Buffalo nickle and 1 modern nickle along a...

The wife and I finally can spend a little time out tomorrow. Up until now, the ground has been snow covered or frozen for about the last 6 weeks. Right before the big freeze I had my XLT updated with a new coil and software update by Whites so it has been a long and frustrating wait for a chance...

My Avatar is a pic of a 1765 half Reale that I found on the Delaware coast a couple of weeks ago after the recent Nor-Easter. I honestly wasn't sure what it was until I got home later that day and looked at it closely. Before this, I hadn't found anything pre 1900's . Close up here ID pic I...
