Yep, it's that time again to hunt for relics and help prove (or disprove lol) some history. Todays hunt started where yesterday's left off....with NOT MUCH :rolleyes: Finally someone found a huge chunk of iron. They joked about it being part of a cannon. Upon further inspection :confused: It is...

Went out to a house I had permission to hunt. Steve was not able to make it, but I guess I talked this place up good lol and he snuck out for about 2 hours. He is always bringing me to places, so it was finally my turn. It wasn't too long and Steve got a nice hit and it turned out to be his...

The difference between dogs and cats :-) Though it was pretty funny, especially the end part lol

Most everyone already knows Dan and I have been working with archaeologists on various projects. For most of this year we will be looking for a 17th century fort, and evidence of a short War of 1812 skirmish. This hunt was a first attempt to locate some large calibur musket balls or some canon...

Since rain canceled our professional hunting lol we decided to hunt for ourselves, even if it pours. It did not :clapping: This site is early and can produce Spanish silver and George II's, but for us it was scraps. Some buttons, furniture hardware, musket ball and one lone 1897 Indian and lots...

Did some coinshooting with Steve and Matt. Ist half of the day with Steve and the rest of the day with Matt. Always nice to get together with some great guys. thumbsup01 Not a lot of targets today, but it felt real good to detect for about 10 hours lol Never once did I think about work...

Is it a relic machine?? A gold machine?? I guess we will have to see lol New from Garrett

Dan had arranged a hunt with charlives in his neck of the woods. So we were off around 4:30 this morning and hunting as soon as we could all meet up. Dan located one huge colonial monster hole lol It was nice looking and had lots of area to hunt. Unfortunately, like most holes, it was pounded...

I stopped by a cellar hole on the way home from a hunt Del and I do with the Pequot Indian Museum Archaeologists. It was the first hunt of the season and Del could not make this one due to scheduling. After spending all day in a really quiet area, I got one decent target...well not counting that...

Went out to a old favorite of mine that had given me my nicest GW a while back. Was determined to see how many non ferrous targets I could find by slowly gridding the iron null. Every single target shown was found with iron - in, under or around it. Some came in nice and strong, but some were...

Seems like this little guy has an axe to grind lol minelab e-Trac hater

Went out today with the intent of gridding a cellar hole that has given me 8 coppers :smitten: Spent about two hours gridding just the lip and found ..... nothing lol So I tired of that quick. I have found everything on that lip that I am capable of finding. Someone else may pull targets out...

lol I figured I'd take myself out detecting today :girlcry: Wanted to get some hunting in earlier, since Saturday is gonna be 90's again :rolleyes: I had planned on hitting 2 sites and some outer pen areas, so the hunt was a long one today. One site has never given up an old coin >:/ The other...

We knew it was gonna be a hot one again today, so we started out early. By sun up we were at a familiar pair of cellar holes. One of them has given Dan some nice knee buckles and a nice CT copper on a prior hunt. The other has produced some large cents and Indians, plus a good amount of buttons...

This sensitive :shocked04: [attachimg=1] This was found with the 11 stock Pro Coil on the E trac. Wasn't deep (probably less than an inch) but just goes to show you how much progress has been made with coils recently. If any of you remember the old days, an 11 coil would have been considered a...

Drove by an old location that I have detected many times before. It's an old colonial house that the front part was moved, many miles down the road. That was the 1820's section. What was left was the 1790's part that stuck out the back of the larger section. Well today, on the way to work, I see...

Went on an all day hunt with Del and a friend of ours Mike, from out detecting club. We hit an old reliable cellar hole where the 2 cent pieces, and fat Indians come out. We figured it would be a good way to break in Mike lol Then we headed over to Mike's place and tried our luck at his old...

Had the pleasure of getting out with Steve (1147SILVER) at one of his sites. We didn't have much time to detect but a couple of hours. But what a site it was :shocked04: :drool: :drool: I'm sworn to secrecy, so all I can tell you is that it is in the USA lol Thanks Steve for letting me tag...

Sometimes it's a good thing to clean your finds. Some of you know I am working (slowly lol) to sort, identify, group, as well as scrap some of my finds from the many years of hunting. I have stuff in there from 1976 :-\ Here is a picture of some of the scrap lead (about 20 lbs worth)...

We were going to hit a baseball diamond today, but it ended up being private property :girlcry: So we quickly went down the road to some sites that are always good to us. One is what we call the Button Holes 5 cellar holes close to each other and we have found close to 600 buttons there...
