Had a chance to go detecting with Ernie out his way. He had an old field that he's been doing and we gave it a shot for a while. It was an older field than I thought it would be, and a bunch of good targets came out of it. But I must say I had to ignore all that can slaw lol That means we left...

Anyone who knows me, knows I haven't been a fan of the Mints last 50+ years of coin production lol They are boring, and except for a few state quarters and some odd issues, I haven't seen them make a good coin yet. :ticked: Since they won't re-release the Indian Head Penny without ANY changes in...

Today was a gorgeous day out. Finally no heat stroke lol No bugs, no rain, no 98+ sun thumbsup01 We got to a site that has been pretty good to us and is an older site. Started at sunrise and my very first hit was a George II copper :shocked04: What a great start. I thought it was a large cent...

Yep Del struck first today. Our local club YTC (Yankee Territorial Coinshooters) were approached by the Archaeologist from the Pequot Indian Museum and wanted to know if we would be willing to assist them in finding a fort site from the Pequot Wars, which I believe were from 1636-37. Everyone...

Headed out to Rob's area to meet up with him for a hunt. Had a great time and enjoyed meeting another member of our forum :clapping: Rob had a couple of places lined up and we started in a newer field that has some old history...but we coldn't find any of it, so we booked lol Hit a very old...

Del and I spent the day with Catskillcomics and Hockeyguy on their stomping ground today. A couple of great guys :clapping: Thanks for the invite thumbsup01 We started out at an old park that needed a haircut, so we didn't stay too long, but I did manage to get the most worn out Barber Quarter I...

Today was one of the days that I went to help locate targets for the Pequot Indian Museum. They are trying to locate a very early fort / battle site from the 1630's. Our local club, Yankee Territorial Coinshooters (YTC) is how I got involved. So my day started out around 5 and the hunt started...

I have to say I wasn't getting that warm and fuzzy feeling about today's sites. But Del was, so that usually spells BINGO for me lol Today was no different. ;) We got to the site and after doing the road for about 10 minutes, I headed up to the cellar hole to hunt the lip. I got a hit right away...

Got this from another place and decided it is fun (kinda mezmerizing) :twirlingeyes: If you think traffic and pedestrians are awful today, think again lol Some of them kids taunting the conductor must have made his day :ticked: At least if you hit some bratty kid back then it was the kids fault...

This is a premonition of a hunt that is going to take place on Saturday lol I needed a place to hunt since my hunting buddy is doing the summer family stuff ;) I ran into a client and asked to hunt his property which dates back to around 1890, and he said sure, just show me what you find. Not...

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to hunt with the archaeologists at the Pequot Indian Museum in south eastern Connecticut. It's a bit of a haul for me at around 160 miles round trip, but it was fun. They are a great group of people and we had a slight tour of the unopened museum and their...

OK here's my take of today's finds. Yep, that's it lol No matter how you slice it, that's all the goods. :yes: Not the best hunt I have had. :rolleyes: It was a tough day for relic huntng. It started by getting pulled over at 3:45 this morning for a tail light that was out. Then we couldn't...

My second time out with the X-5 coil for the E Trac. The first time out was at a house under construction and was not the environment I was earger to try this coil out in. It was a good hunt but a short one at that house. But today I had a good couple of hours to try the X-5 in the type of...

In fairness to other machines the E Trac does not see through iron. Physics just don't allow for a signal to bypass iron and reach below it for non iron. I will probably get some slack for that, but I feel that is a true scientific reality, waterdowned as it may be. BUT, I find the E trac has a...

Got my x-5 coil for the E Trac on Monday and just had to try it out right away. The grass can wait lol So I went to a house that I've hunted many times and found some more targets. The smaller items, a Jefferson, a Wheat, and the skeleton key were found in areas I already hunted with the 15x12...

Well this is the day Del and I always dread, the official colonial start of summer lol Not by any calander mind you, but by the twisted fate of the detecting Gods. In other words, our finds dwindle :crying02: We both struggled for most of the day and I know after the first 5 hours I only had 2...

As some of you who know me have known, a good friend of mine died last November at the age of 48. It devistated a bunch of us and also his wife and 14 year old daughter. We have been working on a benifit for her future needs, (car, college, etc...) and it finally happened on June 5th. That was...

Went back to the park that was scraped by the bolldozer. The put all the dirt back and spread the excess out around the park :drool: :drool: :drool:. So I jumped out and started to hit the thinly spread dirt. Was rewarded immediately with my first target being the silver feather earring piece...

You ever drive by a spot and wonder if it's been hit. Well I do this once a week as I pass the same spot over and over lol I never get out and detect it though :confused: Well I was driving by and I started to think I wonder if anyone ever detects that place? rofl And then it hit me. The spot...

Del was camping so he didn't get to go out on a hunt with a good friend of ours named Keith. We started out around 8ish and things were tough going for most of the hunt. Did manage an 1889 Indian and a newer military button, but other than that it was slow. Keith couldn't hunt long, so I was...
