I recently obtain permission to hunt a church property that dates back to the 1880's. The first day started out slow as I was hitting areas that had a lot of fill dirt. There was two pieces of playground equipment in a low area that had slightly different grass so I moved to that area. I hit a...

Last week I went back to the camp I've been hunting with Tim and Ted. We had a good day of detecting with all of us walking away with some silver. I managed to get my butt kicked again by the Etracs. I'm starting to second guess my change to the CTX. I guess it's time to rethink my settings. I...

Here are my better finds from the start of my new season. They are all from previously hunted spots. The ring has no markings and the stone outer layer spins on the metal part. Thought it was kind of a cool ring.

Minelabs new machine. What do you think. It looks familiar:)

Used Whites TRX Pinpointer for sale. I purchased this new last August from Cabelas. It works perfect and is in great shape, a few minor scratches on tip from being in the dirt and orange paint is worn off the TRX logo on the side of the tip. The paint did not last long. It is registered with...

I managed one more hunt after a couple day thaw here in WI. I decided to return to the camp I've hunted recently and it gave up a few more nice ones. Within the first 10 minutes I found this beutiful 1924 SLQ. The silver slowed down for the next couple hours until I hit a 40 Washington. The next...

We are experiencing colder than normal temperatures here in Wisconsin and I can see an end to my detecting season coming soon. The ground is starting to freeze so I thought try and squeeze in a couple more hunts. The first hunt was a return to the grove with the 6 inch coil on the CTX. The...

I invited Tim (Illdigger) and Ted up for round two at the camp I've recently got permission to hunt and it was a great day to say the least. The last hunt st this camp started out slow but this one was a steady flow of silver from the start. The highlights were a Walking Liberty Half, two pocket...

I hate to sound like a broken record but this is from yet another hunt at the grove with the 6"coil on the CTX. I decided to work an extremely trashy area and do what I've been doing with the 6". I basically dig any signal that repeats in one direction. I do dig some iron without a good target...

These are from a 3 hour hunt today at ,you guessed it, the grove. The CTX with the 6 inch coil has made this site open up again. It is slow tedious work but well worth the effort. Both of these dimes had iron in the hole with them. The barber is a 1913 and it had a rusty bottle cap in the hole...

The weather was just too nice to pass-up today so I headed to the grove for a 3 hour hunt. The CTX with the 6 inch coil did not disapoint again. The Barber is a slick one but the date is there 1899-O, Merc's are 25-S & 43 and to round out the trifecta a 53 Rosie. I also found 3 wheats and $.32...

A few weeks ago I obtained permission to hunt a camp that is about 100 years old. I wanted the first hunt to be an all day hunt to give me time to get a feel for the area. I also did not want to hunt it alone so I invited my favorite hunting partner form Il (Tim) to join me. We met early last...

I went back to the grove again today for a quick hunt while there was a break in the rain showers. I worked a small trashy area with the 6 inch coil and it did not disapoint again. The 1899 Barber dime was my first find within the first 5 minutes. It had two nails in the hole with it. The next...

These are my finds from my last few hunts at the picnic grove with the 6 inch coil. I've been working the trashy areas nice and slow with the 6 inch coil on the CTX. The results have been pretty good with a few surprises. The walker was only 2 inches down but surrounded by iron trash. Dates are...

I finally got out a couple days ago for about an hour and a half before the rain hit. I headed to my go to spot in hopes of finding a few more silvers I may have overlooked. As usual the grove did not disapoint I found one wheat and one Merc. The Merc turned out to be a good one 1926-S in great...

I put the CTX 6 inch coil to the test and it passed with flying colors. This is the take from two hunts at my famous picnic grove. The coins were coming slower with each visit with the larger coils so I decided to work some of the more trashy areas with the 6 inch coil to see what I might have...
