I was able to watch The Detectorist Season 3 Episode1 on this website. As usual, it had some very funny parts. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x68e6vy

These are my finds from a short hunt on the banks of one of the swimming holes where I found the silver coins. It has been too cold to get in the water so I thought I would try the dry ground. As expected there was a ton of trash but I did manage a few keepers. The coolest was probably my first...

I obtained permission to detect an old church ground. I was using the CTX with the 17” coil figuring I would try and get the deep ones since I was positive this site had been detected before. I manage to get one silver a 64 Rosie and 9 wheats all from the 40’s except one was 1917. I came across...

I located another old river swimming hole through some old articles and using old aerial photos. I wanted to get in the river for a hunt before it got too cold just to prove my research was correct. The conditions were tough high trash, severe EMI and muck. The river bends at the point of the...

Here is some information on Minelabs new ProFind 15 & 35. A couple of interesting features is that it can distinguish between ferrous and Nonferrous. It also has some new technology called DIF (Detector Interference Free). Price 35 $129 and 15 $99...

Here are my finds from my last 3 trips (13hours) to the old swimming hole. I thought this site dated to the early 1900’s but after a few old coins I’m thinking it had been used for several years prior to 1900. I found one more gold ring, 10K 3.0 grams. I found an additional 8 rings. A couple...

I was looking for permission from the pastor to detect an old country church grounds a few weeks ago. He stated that he would be OK with it but needed to clear it with the church committee. That is almost always a definite no in my experience. I was right, he called me a week later and said they...

I obtained permission to access a creek that ran through and old resort hoping to find the swimming hole. While talking to the owner of the property he stated that I could also hunt his land that once had part of the resort on it. I started in the water and found out quickly that it was going to...

I recently got permission to detect the water at a private beach. The owner had told me that people have asked in the past but not recently. My 11” CTX coil took a crap 10 minutes into the hunt so I had to use the 6 inch. I Forgot my 17” and 5X10 but luckily I had the 6”. The shore line is about...

Garrett announced their new detector today. Here is a video of it. https://youtu.be/m1acq2zV2zQ

Finally got out for a hunt after a spring break family vacation. The site I was hunting was a play ground area of a now closed catholic school. I had huntied the site in 2012 a couple times and always wanted to get back. I strapped on the 17" to the CTX hoping to get some deep ones that I had...

I just had to share this. You do not see too many main stream comics with a metal detector.

This is a short video about Garrett's new machine. https://youtu.be/ZpNVzO80FzU

I detected another field that had a one room school house on it. The aerial photo from 1938 clearly shows a couple of ball fields. That area is now a farm field and the school is still standing. Im usually not nervous about asking for permission but I really wanted a yes on this one and I got...

I hit another farm field today that once held an old school house. Only 1 coin in 2 hours but it was a good one, 1898 Barber quarter. The second site was one I detected 8 years ago with good success. I was in the area so I thought I would give it a try with the CTX. I found a 1900 Indian, 1942...

I'm finally getting around to cleaning and cataloging some finds. This is my take from 2 February hunts and 2 March hunts. A couple of the wheats are teens. The Indian is 1892 and the Mercury is 1941 (1st silver of the year). The metal blobs are float (native copper), the silver buckle type...

After just a little over 29 years I'm officially retired from the Fire Department. Yesterday was my last shift. I had a nice dinner with my family and crew at the firehouse last night. It is bittersweet but definitely time to hand the wheel over to someone younger. I was a heavy equipment...
