I invited Tim (Illdigger) and Ted up for a hunt at the infamous picnic grove on Thursday. As usual the grove did not disapoint. I was running late because of work but manage to get hunting by 0930. After some quick hellos we got into a short conversation about coins I have not found on this...

When I found the tang Spear point last month I thought that it would be a while before I found anything like it again. On Friday I found not one but two Old Copper Culture artifacts. They were in the general area of my last find but hundreds of yards from it. The first was 7 inches deep reading...

Im almost at 87 silver coins for the year. I hit 83-85 yesterday. My total last year was 86 and my goal this year was to hit 100 but I will be happy just to beat last years. These are my finds from my last 3 hunts. The first Merc is a 1917 that found at the grove. The Indian is a 1902, it was...

The temp was in the upper 50's today so I could not resist the such a nice Nov day. I did not think there was any T- shirt weather left here in Wisconsin. I manage two wheats 17 & 20, one Indian 1900 and beutiful Barber Quarter with full liberty it is a 1908-D. A beutiful day with some nice...

Wanted to Buy. I'm looking for a Vintage Whites Beachcomber Model 1. It was the first detector I owned and I just want it as a display piece so it does not have to be working, just complete. Here is the original brochure I picked up at a booth from a dealer while attending the Northern Wisconsin...

I found this find today in SE Wisconsin in a wooded section of a picnic grove. The area I was hunting did have a Native American presence as late as the mid 1800's. The find is a socketed Tang point that was probably used as a spear point. From what I found it is from the Old Copper Culture...

The grove did not disapoint me again. I found my 80th silver coin for the year and it was a good one. It is an 1894-O barber dime. I would grade it at VG-8 and the Coin World value guide puts it at $100, not bad. I also found an 1888 Indian and 2 wheats from the teens. The dime was a great find...

I met up with Tim (Ill Digger) and Ted on a chilly day to hunt a couple parks that Milco had found. Sorry you had to cancel Darren (Milco). This is how the first park went, 2 Etracs, and a CTX, after 1.5 hours of hunting we had 3 coins, 2 zinclons and a nickel. When I first pulled up to this...

This is one great feature of the CTX 3030, updatable. Here is a link to the firmware updates for the CTX. I downloaded the updated Exchange 2 plugged the CTX in and it prompted me to a new firmware update. Less than 10 minutes it was complete. The best new feature is the locking pinpoint...

I received my new 6 inch coil for the CTX over a week ago but because of family matters did to get a chance to use it until Yesterday. I took it to my infamous grove for its maiden voyage. I set up the CTX for trash using a completely open screen in the combined tones. The area I decided to hunt...

I was able to get in three short hunts last week and manage 4 more silvers for this seasons count. The most interesting find was a GreenRiver Whiskey token from the 30's. After some research I found that it is valued at $25-$30 if it had not spent time in the ground. This is a quote from an...

On Wednesday morning I returned to a site that I had hunted with the V3i a couple years ago and managed a few wheats and two Rosies a 64 and 48-S. After lunch I hunted the wooded areas of my infamous grove and manage to dig my 80th silver from this site of dreams. It was a 24 Merc with a cousin...

Here are some finds from my last two hunts. The first day was at the picnic grove. The second day started at an old ball field and ended at the picnic grove. The Buffalo is 1930, Mercury is 1920 and the Barber dime is 1907. I also found a dollar in clad, 7 wheats and a few pieces of jewelry...

I hunted another area of the grove today that I had not hunted much and manage a few keepers and some relics. The V Nickle is 1902 and there are a dozen wheats in the photo. I had two wheat spills one with 4 and one with 3. The lock has the word Climax on it and the pocket watch is stainless.

I invited Darren (Milco) and Tim (Illdigger) to join me for hunt at my honey hole and we all made some nice finds. I decided to hunt the wooded area around the grove and it paid off big for me. My first coin was a 1911 V Nickle at about 4 inches. My next coin target was a 10-41 on the CTX 3030...
