I heard from a very reliable source that White's will be offering a free Prizm III with the purchase of their Spectra V3 for the spring promotion. It hasn't been announced to the public yet but will be soon.

We had our annual Metal Detecting Maine Cabin Fever Meet yesterday and took some videos. I'm sharing this one with you because everyone tells you not to clean your old coins, but you do anyway, right? Well, we had a coin and jewelry dealer speak at our Meet and he explained it very well. He...

I've been doing a little research (winter is PERFECT for that) and stumbled on an old farmhouse.... VERY old. We've been curious for years when we drive by the homestead, but we KNOW there are lots of iron signals there. HAS to be. So, we never really give it a second thought.... I know in a...

Cross posting this from my forum. A friend of ours, the manager of Sub Sea Research, is working to help those in Haiti. Greg (shiprex) has been very active there over the years and has the equipment and ability to help. He has a few ships (he recovers ship wrecks for a living) and will be...

So yesterday at work we knew we had a long day of travel ahead of us for today. We have one guy who always drives the truck (he loves it, and we're all good with that)... The questions always is... Who's going with him? Last night one of the other guys said he called shotgun. :( We were going...

Krom and I both have Wednesday off so we're going to visit a place just to drive around and see a huge park we'll be hitting in the spring. There's a little beach there as well.... Low tide will be cooperating with our arrival time. We're dropping our daughter off at school at 7:30 and we'll be...

Our daughter never ceases to amaze me. She was able to snap this shot on her own, camera in one hand.... I found several neat shots she had taken on her own for her digital media class at school. This was one of them. I thought it was cool.. The cat shown in this picture has been with us since...

Here's hoping 2010 will be a great year for everyone! Best Wishes to you all!

So, we bought our daughter a new PC for Christmas... Windows Vista with the Windows 7 free upgrade, 8 GB of RAM, monitor, etc.... sweet PC. She's been complaining of her Vista laptop for a year now. It's got 2 MEGs of RAM... still a decent machine. So, I backup her files, format the thing...

We have this thing here at Christmas where we tell each other not to do anything special for each other and we do everything we possibly can for our daughter. We usually end up buying each other things we need and would buy anyway. But this year I got something very special... It's a real 1884...

Cool stuff! I like it! Makes me wanna make a vid of my finds from 2009..... Meanwhile, I hope no one minds if I share this vid of what people in Maine found in 2007..... (The DVD we created is 20 minutes long.... this video is only about 10 minutes long) Metal Detecting Maine finds

I walked in the door tonight from work and barely had room to step in.... The snowblower had broken down and the neighbor was up here to help fix it... They've been at this for hours now....

OK... some call it tourtiere meat pie ... It's a French meat pie. Krom's mom was making this in Tignish on Prince Edward Island, Canada, when she was a kid and she passed away about 12 years ago in her late 70s. So, what I've done here is based on a recipe over 100 years old. Mom never had a...

When the snow gets deep and you can't get out, perhaps you or a family member have a dirt cellar you can detect... Sounds funny, doesn't it? Well, here in Maine a dirt cellar is fairly common. And yuppers... people lost things in their cellars! Try it some time if you've got a hankering to...

Our daughter Lexine (well, Krom's daughter, officially my step-daughter, but she's still my daughter in my eyes! :) ) tried metal detecting with us a few years ago and truely enjoyed it. We weren't really sure she'd like it so much but she's talked about it ever since. So, with busy lives and...

Well, I got out of work early today and we went to visit my mother and her boyfriend to see if they needed any help getting settled in their new place. They didn't, but wanted me to work on computers, so I did. We had a little pizza, I ran mom to the pharmacy and we came home. It was a nice...

This post is a couple days late, but what can I say... I was distracted! (Still am, but that's beside the point.) Anyway... managed to get out Sunday, Nov. 15, 2009, for a bit. I was looking for those deeper signals at the higher end of the scale. The field where I was detecting isn't gonna...

Got out for a bit today and hit 2 old fields sporatically. I was whoopin' Krom's butt when I started popping coins, even though they were all clad... And theeen... I popped a copper. I was feeling bad for him but just before we left he popped a copper. His has a teeny bit of detail. Mine has...

I was told my 2-cent piece should be kept very dry and stored in a contanier with silica gel. What's silica gel and where can I get it? My 2-center is in olive oil right now. Should I take it out? :huh:

Krom and I got out for about 90 minutes this morning. Had a birthday party to go to this afternoon. Went to an old farm field.... I hit a spot where I found a silver snake ring (broke when it was being rinsed), a musketball and some other stuff... I found the razor in a different area of the...
