Friday was my son's 18th birthday and at dinner he told me he wanted to go out for some detecting Saturday. I called Tony and asked if he would like to join us and unlike a lot of the house we knocked on Saturday, I Got a Yes!! We met up at an 1891 courthouse at about 8:00AM. My very first good...

Thursday, Noah and I decided to go back to the "Seated House" and give it another go. It appeared that we hit it pretty well the first time, but we did manage a couple more keepers. I dug 4 more Indians ( 11 total for me in that yard ) and a warped 1953 Rosie that looked like it was in a fire...

My last few hunts have been unusually awesome. I've been digging some awesome coins since I had my eye surgery. Well, my eye is doing better and my hunts are back to normal. I was out for seven hours Saturday knocking on doors that no one answered. I spent more time driving than swinging. Oh...

Noah and I went back out Sunday and hit another 1850s house in the same town we hunted Friday. I didn't dig any more seated coins, but I still had a great day. At the first house, I started out with a 1915 Barber dime. About 20 minutes later I got a 12-46 near the base of an old tree. When I got...

I haven't been able to get out for a few weeks, so yesterday I decided to go out for just a few hours. I'm so glad I did!! I still can't drive, so Noah drove us out to one my favorite old towns. We got a yes at the very first house and only 5 minutes in I hit a spill, an Indian and two Rosies...

Well, we were supposed to arrive in Ma. two weeks from today, but due to an unscheduled surgery on my eye we are going to have to bump it back a while. I want to thank all that were going to give up their time to meet up with us. Maybe we can try for some time late April or May. I hope to be...

I went out for a few hours by myself Saturday. I did a couple small yards and pulled 3 mercs and a few wheats. Sunday, I met up with Noah. We hunted most of the day. I dug another trifecta, a Rosie, Merc and Barber all from one yard. At the next few houses I dug Washington quarter, a couple of...

Noah and I drove a few hours south Saturday to get away from the 8 inches of snow still on the ground by us. It took 3 hours but we found a town that was old and snow free. We hunted most of the day and unfortunately it was slow going most of the day. Here are Saturdays finds: I found this car...

Today, Noah and I went out scouting a few field sites for future hunts. On the way home we stopped in a town that I hunted pretty heavily about three years ago. The ground has been frozen solid all week, but we decided to check it out this afternoon:crossfingers: and it was diggable.:shocked03...

I'm really not sure what it is, but it is silver Here are a couple of pics of the back. .

Well, it's that time of year again. Alec says he wants to head out east again this year and who am I to say no! This year he wants to stay in Mass but I have no idea where to stay. Any suggestions on a good location but still close enough to hopefully get together with a few of you guys...

Noah and I met up with Digger_O'Dell this morning for a little Illinois door knocking. I'll let them tell thier stories, but I will say we all got silver,Indians and more! The day started great right out of the gate, we got a yes at our very first house and my first signal was a V nickel...

Well, Noah and I decided to gamble Sunday and try a little detecting. To our surprise, the ground wasn't too bad at all! I didn't find a lot but, I did manage 4 coins and a few tid bits. It felt good to get out for a few hours. 1882 & 1887 Indians 1948-D & 1964 Rosies

I was going through this years wheat cents looking for any Key Dates that I may have dug and found a 1909 VDB. I figured if it's too frozen to detect, this would be the next best thing to do.LOL

Awesome scoop Tim. Your family did GOOD!! I still have your gift here.

The wife got Alec & I new batteries for our e-tracs. :happydance01: and chargers, of course :detecting:

I haven't tested it yet. It rang up 12-09 on the e-trac. the back is coated with crud, but when I scratched the back it looks like gold. I'll let you know when I test it.

Yesterday morning I met up with Dave & Noah for a little door knocking. We hit about four houses including the house that I scored at Big Time last week. Dave ( Daddy Digger ) was on fire all day. If you haven't seen his post already, check it out. It's EPIC! :envious: I managed 5 silvers, 1...

I went back to the house that I hunted last weekend. I dug a few nice coins, I'll post those after I clean them. This is what I think was my find of the day. A Woman's Relief Corps badge. The WRC was an official woman's auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic started in 1883. It appears to...

I met up with Noah today to hunt a town that I've never hunted before. We didn't start swinging until noon. We got a yes at the first house we tried. In the first 20 minutes, I dug a 1903 Barber dime and an Indian spill, an 1894 & 1883. I also dug an old button with a flower design. After...
