Here is a site I visit a lot. Has the newest discoveries on a broad range of sciences. Hope you like it. It helps pass the winter blues lol http://www.sciencedaily.com/

Yep, my cleaning machine is finally here :happydance01: :happydance01: It's gonna tumble everything in my house lol I still have some work to do to it like stabilizing the barrels with some rubber belts to make it run true, and I have to attach a power cord to it. The tumbler is a medium size...

If I had the ability to travel freely, I would want to look for treasure that is available only in that particular area. If I were in the desert sections, I would hunt meteorites. Hills of California and I would nugget hunt. Lower California would be Spanish silver. My question is this: Has...

Hey what can I say, we waste no time lol Del and I got up early and were trudging through the snow at daybreak. We were looking for new cellar holes to do this coming Spring (or sooner lol) Must have put on 4 miles or so, but it felt like 10 with the snow and hilly terrain :ticked: Here's some...

I'm gonna keep it simple this year and condense some of my finds. I had another great year and I can't show all the individual relics and coins that are special to me. Some of my finds are: 268 flat buttons, 38 Large Coppers, 1 very damaged lol GW Inagural Button, 34 silvers, 2 war nickles...

Here's a nickel I had in a can of junk coins. I know sometimes they can be faked, so I figured this is one of them, so I just threw it in the can lol. But some coins from the mint actually do get hit like this. I forgot to take a picture of the obverse which almost looks like it was flattened...

It was COLD this morning lol and with a blizzard coming just after we started hunting, we had to make the best of probably our last hunt of the year. It was around 20 degrees at 6:30 AM and it didn't take long before the wind picked up and the snow strarted. Lucky it was a fine powder that was...

Whoo Hoo :clapping: got to go colonial relic hunting for the whole day. The ground was just a little crusty but very diggable. Del and I spent the greater part of the day, about 7 hours, at a site that has been great for both of us. My Nova Constellatio came from here along with tons of relics...

That's an odd title lol I need some info on a good freight company. I am getting a tumbler (big one :shocked04:) for my detecting finds and I need to know if anyone has had good luck with a trucking company. The item is located in Griswold Iowa , so I was hoping some one there knew of a good...

We had a chance to do a full day's hunting today, so we took advantage of it early. Got to the sites Dan had researched at daybreak and spent about 2 hours at each site. We had a total of 6 cellar holes, but you wouldn't be able to tell that by our finds lol Things were sparse to say the least...

Was just expecting to go over a friends house and tag some targets with the E Trac to see if we could get his DFX to respond better to iron mixed targets. But it turns out another friend wanted to see how we were doing and also offered to let me detect a couple of 1700's houses :shocked04...

OK round 2 lol Up for grabs is a set of reproduction Confederate notes which look good enough to frame and hang up on your wall. There are I think 72 of them and make a complete set, including some rare, hard to find ones. The guy that printed these is not in business doing them anymore so don't...

It was another nice weather day... I just love Fall :clapping: Finds took a while and were spaced apart a lot. I can't believe how barren some of them fields can be. Not even shot gun shells lol I did manage to get some nice targets using that 5 coil and walking very slowly. Puts me to sleep...

Scott drove out our way and we went a copper hunting lol Dan and I had some sites picked out, but they started out being very stingy. First site I got an Indian and a couple of other relics. It was a new hole to us and was hit fairly hard, so we moved on to an area that had at least 6 or 7...

Decided to post it in the coinshooting section instead of the relic section like I usually do. House hunts are kinda coinshooting lol But I did get a great relic today :shocked04: Drove by a place I had permission to do before and it has always been good to me. Noticed a big backhoe digging out...

Needed some parts for the DFX, so I met up with Midas. It's nice to have a White's dealer so close lol Nice guy. Had the part I needed in stock, since I'll be using the DFX a bit this Saturday. Thanks for the great service and price John, I appreciate it!! Glad you are here in case anyone needs...

Well, the Pequot Indian hunt was a bust for me lol Nothing good to show from it. Dan saved his pride by sneaking in a musket ball last minute :clapping: It was a perfect day too lol But one of the other guys did find a brass point and some more musket balls. Another club member may have found a...

Went hunting with Del to our usual Pequot Indian site. This is probably going to be our normal Saturday hunt until late October or so. We spent a better part of the day there and later hit a cellar hole that gave Del a beautiful Vermont copper last time there :shocked04: It was my turn this time...

Went for a short relic hunt to my old virgin site that I found a couple of years ago. I usually test new machines and coils there. It's a huge area, so if the test isn't very productive, I can always wander out and get some scraps lol Today was no different. I was going to try the Sunray X-12...

Not found by me lol but found by a friends father in law in 1969. Looks like some kind of older White's unit (maybe a Goldmaster 66TR 4B)?? Found in the greater Springfield, MA area. This was from an 8x10 black and white photo. Thought you might like to see what the ponds and lakes were giving...
