Couldn't hunt with my buddy Dan, as he opted to be with his family :dontknow: :dontknow: What's up with that? lol But he did graciously offer me a new site we were gonna hit that someone told us about....so I hit it hard before he has a chance to get to it rofl Not really :rolleyes: I went to a...

Went out early Saturday for a nice relic hunt. The weather was :daydream: Ended up with a Nice 1843 Large cent and an 1864 (uncleaned yet) 2 cent piece. Lots of buttons, lead, stuff, and I even found a head lamp that I didn't lose in the first place lol Was a great day out and I even had some...

Went out for 2 hours on Wednesday to try a new, more extensive Nail reject program. Scored 2 small Eagle buttons (real bad) and 2 (1864, 1865) Indian Head Cents. The program works just fine lol Today Del was doing the family thing and it was gonna rain, so I was on my own. I really didn't want...

We snuck out today for a quick hunt, because tomorrow is not available for detecting. Dan took it easy on me since I went to the gym on Wednesday to get reaquainted with some of the machines lol They miss me after 3+ years :rolleyes: It didn't really hurt until today :stretcher: lol So we went...

The Three Musketeers got together for a hunt closer to Paul's area. It turned out to be a great day weather wise. Had an early start and a late finish lol I was not having the best of luck and really didn't have much to show after 3 or 4 hours. >:( I did find a 1900 Indian head penny on top of a...

Don't tease lol http://www.youtube.com:80/profile?feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_303012&user=klaatu42

Had the thought that I would try and get some more practice with iron and the E Trac. So I hit a spot that has been good to me where I got my first (and only lol) Nova Constellatio copper. I figured we pounded this place pretty good, so it would be a great place to try and tweak my program. Also...

Just thought I'd post a moment of silence for the southern folks that have lost some 300 people to the violent storms. My thoughts and prayers go out to families of those that are lost, and those that still have to deal with the realities of the past few days. :white:usaflag:: I wish you the...

Was detecting solo today, so I could hit a spot that has very few targets. I spent the whole day walking up and down hills in an old picnic area that has served Del and me pretty well. But it is slim pickins for coins, but when you hit a coin it is no newer than around 1910. Today was no...

Met up with Steve to do some coinshooting today. we were gonna hit some relics first at a cellar hole he heard of, but we only found the walls but no cellar holes. So we hunted a bit and left to do an old home he had just secured permission to hunt. It was an 1820's and looked :drool: :drool...

Steve and I headed out to NY for a hunt with sscindercoop at some fields he knew of. Freshly plowed, they were a bit messy and had some aroma added lol It was easy digging and a total of 4 coppers came out of the field. I ended up with a handfull of buttons and a Draped Bust Large Cent...

Went out on our usual Saturday relic hunt . We start early and usually get to the site with sun up. We weren't sure where to go, so we went to 2 holes that are close to each other. One was where Del found his hat plate (It likes Dan lol) and the other hole was where I got 7 coppers and the 1849...

Had an chance to get together with 1147SILVER (Steve) and RobW for a marathon hunt. Started the day off early with Steve at some sites he found which were really nice sites. :yes: Evereyone else must have thought so too, since they were picked clean lol We did find some targets but just couldn't...

I spied a very small park a week ago and wasn't sure if I would just go hit it or ask permission. Having the Police Department a couple of doors down didn't help either. So I asked the dispatcher if it was OK to metal detect and she said...Hmmm, I don't know, no one has ever asked before...

Dan, Steve and I went back to the large colonial that I had done well at the first time, but kinda skunked us the second time lol 3rd time is the charm :clapping: It was definitely a bit chilly at 6:30 AM, but once you start detecting you realize you don't really need to feel your fingers in...

Del and I started out around 6AM, and we were detecting as soon as it was light lol For the first half of the hunt we went to a hole I really had high hopes for. But now that the snow is mostly gone, you could see that it was used as a trash dump :ticked: So that takes care of looking close to...

So we had some rare, extra detecting time today and we were chompin' at the bit to hit 2 of 5 new sites we had found over the winter. After deciding which two, we set off for the first one, a tiny hole in a kinda out of the way area. We were hoping that it was unhit or lightly hit. After a...

We get an A for effort, but not a lot in the pouch :dontknow: Detected from about 7AM until 5PM and don't have a lot of good targets to show for it. I can't believe how hard these holes have been hit. Best finds are a 1914 Dog tag, a NY Chauffeur?? licence from 1923, and a nice (hopefully)...

It's still about 46 degrees out and it's almost 8PM. Raining (almost hail) and a rare thunder and lightning storm :dontknow: Not too often we get that kind of weather in February in Massachusetts :thinkingabout:

Worked on getting the tumbler up and running since all the parts came in. After a quick paint job, casters attached, electrical and switch installed, and barrels wrapped in rubber strips for a clearance issue, I was ready to roll. It went fairly well, with a slight leak issue, because of a dirty...
