I made another trip back to the school house I was at last week and manage a nice variety of jewelry finds. One silver ring and a silver pendant bracelet were the highlights of the hunt. I ended up with only 3 wheats and no silver coins. The clad count was $2.21. Here is the video link...

As some of you might know Tim (Ill Digger) is back Detecting in the UK. I got a message from him today and you are not going to believe what he found.:shocked04: I’m not going to spoil it for him by telling you what it is. All I will say is it’s a find of a lifetime or maybe it’s back to back...

The first hunt was at a small town school house that was built in 1927 and is now closed. It is 3 plus acres so I have a lot more ground to cover at this site. $1.79 in clad, a sliver Washington & Rosie, 2 Mercs, a buffalo, 9 wheats and a sterling ring. The second hunt was a quick one at the...

My research paid off!! I recently located a potential Native American Village site here in SE Wisconsin. After obtaining permission from the land owner he mentioned that as kids that he and his siblings had found several stone Native American artifacts on the property. That was beeps to my ears...

The following is an accumulation of of my hunts since the first part of May. All of these finds are from permissions I’ve had for several years. Ive been using the Equinox exclusively this spring and I’m really starting to like how it performs. I think I have about 60 hours on it so far. The...

Hello Relic Hunters! I do not post much in the relic section but I recently got permission to hunt a cellar hole that dates back to about 1850. Here are a few photos of my finds after a 3 hour hunt. The plate is about 3” X 4” and is for Marshmallows of all things. I’m guessing it was off of a...

I’m starting to get the hang of the Equinox. One thing it really likes is the low conductors. I’ve dug over 20 nickels this week in places I’ve been over several times. I’ve been revisiting places that I’ve been detecting for over 5 years. Each site has produce several nice finds so I thought I...

I have about 12 hours on the Equinox 800 in the past few weeks. I’ve been working in a few hunts between the crappy weather and frozen ground. I have 2 new permission that have not turned out to be as promising as I thought they would be but they did give up a few nice keepers. The first site is...

I started planning my first trip to England 3-4 years ago. I told Tim (IllDigger) when I retire from the Fire Department I’m treating myself to a metal Detecting trip to England. I told Tim that he should join me or at least start thinking about it. Well I retired in March of 2017 and less than...

I was not going to post until after my trip but I could not resist after making the find of my life. We went on a field called the Roman hoard field where I found four small Roman coins. One has some nice detail the others are toasted. They are all about the diameter of a pencil eraser and we’re...

My Equinox 800 and ProFind 35 should be here by the middle of next week. Just in time for my trip to the UK. It should make a good backup but I’m a little hesitant Using a new machine for such an important trip.

I obtained a new permission a few weeks ago for a pasture that had a homestead that dated back to the 1860’s. The owner of the property stated that the farm house burned down in the 1960’s and the rest of the buildings were raised shortly after that. The only thing left standing were 2 silos. As...
