Hi all, Well, I went out on a limb today and ordered a rare first edition 1861 book: Chronicles of Milwaukee. First reason was for my historical research and lecture assignment at the museum. I'm assigned to do a presentation and window interpretation of one of Milwaukee's founding...

Finally managed to get out Saturday with Don and Noah when they made the drive up here to Wisconsin to do some door knocking. The town they picked has a lot of history back to the log cabin days. Noah worked his magic and got us some great permissions including the historic Fargo mansion...

Just thought I would drop a link to my street tearout video. It's on my new channel, so if you subbed to my old channel you wont get notifications. So if you like it, please sub, like, comment, and share. Thanks! https://youtu.be/Hp6SfSirGOE

Hi all! Got out Saturday for a little more tearout hunting. The first road I had high hopes for was a total bust. Guessing Milco was there first! :hystericallaugh: So I went back to the street I worked previously though I didnt think I would find much since it wasn't dug out nearly as deep...

Hi all, It's been a while since I had any finds worthy of posting. But I hit a street tearout Sunday morning and apparently beat Milco to the punch. They stripped about a block of early 1800s roadway down to the clay base, about 2 feet down. First minute there I hit a 1907 IH. Not long after...

I got out Thursday evening for a couple hour Jake hunt. Not many targets, but one small area produced these 3 rings. Think the area has been recently hunted since I stepped in a few holes. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Hi all, There are some county owned grounds near where I moved that at one time had a lot of activity including a poor farm, agricultural school, nursing school, childrens home, and an asylum for the chronically insane. Today nothing stands other than the children's home, and the rest of the...

Hi all! Since my last weekend off was shot because of my move, I thought I would go out swinging for maybe a couple hours after work this morning. I'll say I really needed a mental health break, and this sure helped. Not much research to do on the area I moved into since it was really only a...

Ha Ha Dave! It's only temporary until everything gets moved tomorrow and then I'll have actual furniture for another temporary setup. Blew my budget, so have to save up the funds for the actual desk. May be a month or two since it's a grand for this desk. But I do already have the under desk LED...

I've been busy lately packing and doing all the rest of the usual things preparing for the big move tomorrow. I had a friend with a trailer haul my lawn tractor and other equipment early this morning after work. After this I had to wait at the new place for who knew how long waiting on a new tv...

I had an invite from Hiluxyota (Tom) to meet up on Saturday for a water hunt. It started a bit rough at 7:00AM with on and off heavy rain. But I met up with Tom's friend Mark at the appointed time and started to get the hunt underway. About 45 minutes later Tom showed up and wasn't in the water...

Hi all, It's the morning after the big fireworks display. I did my best to get to the beach right after work this morning but had gotten delayed an hour. This caused me to hit the height of amature hour of wanna be treasure hunters wildly swinging their $20 vintage Fisher Price or other garage...

I got out after work Saturday morning to a somewhat enigmatic site I've hunted before. Currently there's a lighthouse there that was built in the 1880s, but the area was extensively worked during transition to a park and museum. But, this lighthouse was built to replace another that was from the...

Just wondering. Is it just me, or has the hunting finds been overly lean this year for everyone? It's almost the end of June, and I know I haven't found much of note this year other than a couple silvers and the sterling ring that made the banner, and 2 Indians. As I remember, last season there...

Hi all, I just posted a new video testing out my new Soloshot3 video camera, experimenting with 4K video. The camera tracks my movement by way of a "tag" that I wear using GPS positioning. I dont have audio for it yet, but I should be getting my new Sennheiser wireless audio set in the next...

Hi all, Got out again this morning for about 2 hours after work. Didnt find a whole lot of keepers as they are becoming few and far between, and usually only amongst the worst trash or iron. But I did manage to find 2 early wheats and an 1891 Indian. I also got another video out tonight...

Greetings citizens! ;) I got out a couple hours after work this morning to the old zoo site. Nothing spectacular, but I did manage 3 wheats and a sterling pendant with lots of clad dug at crazy depths. I also ran across a very angry seeming snapping turtle who apparently didnt want company...

Hi everyone! Got out this morning detecting Lake Michigan for maybe 2 hours. I didnt expect much this time of year since few people are swimming yet in the low 40s temp water. But I had hoped to maybe find some items that got washed out of the beach during the winter storms. Well, my hunch...

Hi all, Just an update: I made it in today for my orientation and presentation training as a volunteer at the Milwaukee Public Museum! I have to complete 80 hours of volunteer work as a prerequisite to becoming a docent. Don't know what area(s) I'll be working or specializing in for those...
