Maybe I'm just way to rough on my stuff. :dontknow: I truly make a honest effort to protect the plug and cord on my headphones. But it seems I'm going through a pair of headphones every year or two! It's always the cord right at the plug that seems to be going bad on them. I might have good...

Merry Christmas everybody! I know I can't be the only one to receive a detecting related Christmas gift. In the past I've received detecting related t-shirts, treasure log book, new knee pads just to name few. This year the wife went all out! She rallied some family members like my mom and 2...

With all the rain we've been having all of the rivers are flooded and overflowing. So this is the perfect time to share with you what might be the best find I've made since I started detecting in 2009. Marquise cut White sapphire with baguettes set in a 14K White gold ring!! Thanks again to...

Anybody recognize this guy? I found this at the river site that Hiluxyota turned me on to. I think it resembles President Teddy Roosevelt :yes: But I haven't had much luck Googling it. It's threaded. So i figure it's a cap to something. But what? Teddy's Tanning lotion? :lol:

I got a opportunity to hunt the famous "Dream Stream" a couple of times this week after work. Last year Tom "Hiluxyota" did some research and found a virgin swimming hole! Tom alone found over 30 gold rings, plus lots of silver coins and jewlery as well! Turns out a couple of people found out...

We went up to Wisconsin to visit with the family for Easter a couple of weekends ago. While everyone else was eating I grabbed the Etrac and snuck off to the sports camp for a while. I managed a couple of wheats. As the Wisconsin state bird, the mosquitos, were pumping me dry I started to head...

I believe that I found my first strap end! It was pretty cruddy when I found it. I started to clean it up when I seen it had teeth inside After a few CLR baths I seen it has a crest or coat of arms stamped on it!! It has the name Hamilton stamped above it. And if you look real close you can...

Here's my version of the Illinois invasion. Last Friday I took off for Connecticut for a week of metal detecting for things I simply cannot find around here. 6 hours down the road I stopped for the night in a town in Ohio. In the morning I detected the town square for 4 hours before...

It's in pretty rough shape. I can't make out much. It looks like a person standing or in stride with a wheel or a round object in front of them. There are words around the edge but I can't make out much. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm thinking it's aluminum.

I had a few hours to kill yesterday so I figured I'd go detecting. Wanting to stay close to home I decided to go back to a old farm house that's been good to me over the years. The past couple of visits produced only a couple of wheats and lots of trash! For the first hour it was pretty ho-hum...

I made plans with Daddydigger & DiggerDon to meet up in a town kinda in the middle for each of us. We've all hunted in this town in the past and have had some success. This day would prove to be more of the same! We had our first permission before 8 a.m.! Things started a little slow for me...

Yesterday I went back to the field that I found my first seated quarter in the day before. I spent another 4 1/2 hrs in the 20 to 30 mph winds! At least the high winds and sunshine started to dry up the sloppiness of the mud. It wasn't quite as sticky as it was Saturday. I had another good...

The whole family had plans today which left me with a little free time. Hmmm :thinkingabout::thinkingabout:what to do? Haha :hystericallaugh: I'm going detecting! I went to a old farm that I've been working for a couple of years. The farmer came out to see what I was finding and told me about...

With a forcasted high temp of 24 degrees today we were headed out to the spot where I found my Kentucky rifle trigger guard a few weeks ago. On the way to river I when up this hill... Once I got up there I dug up a small iron carriage bolt that came in falsing like a quarter. Two steps a...

I recently heard from my wife that she seen on Facebook that Dennis Bennett passed away. The rest of the forum knew him as Pokie73. I thought I'd let the membership here know.

....trigger guard!!! We're honing in on one of the first home sites in our county. This was found in the woods about half a mile from the site. Here's some pics of it cleaned up a little. After finding the big piece I checked the ares for more signals. Right next to the first hole I got...

Now that we can't get out detecting since the ground is covered in snow, I figured I'd share a neat find I made 3 weeks ago. We were out detecting a picnicking area that dates back to at least the mid 1920s. About half way through our hunt I found a little hot spot that started popping out...

Here's my wish. But they're not available in the USA until after the first of the year. But my name is on a list :thumbsup02:....Hmmmmm :shocked01:

I know the feeling folks[emoji45] Here's a shot out my backdoor yesterday while it was coming down. But like the others have said. It's supposed to be almost 40 tomorrow. And it's still nice and soft under all that white stuff.[emoji6] Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
