Nat Geo channel is showing a special on the Saxon Gold found by metal detectorist tonight 4/18/10 at 9 pm. Should be awe inspiring!!

Hit three different houses this week. Had an hour or two after work and was finished with my kid's stuff to detect. I wish I had more time for a more thorough sweeping, but I was happy to pull nine Wheaties and a 1913 Barber Dime :yes:. Interesting find was the glass button top. This button had...

Went back this evening before dark to hunt at the early 1800's house I reported some first finds on last week. This is the same house my son and friend found their first IH's at. Well tonight was my night for success. Went by myself as my son went to a water park down in the Poconos and Don was...

Yesterday my son Mitchell, my friend Don, and myself rec'd permission to hunt the yard of one of the first houses here in Owego, NY, 180? :drool:. The owner is an elderly lady who recently lost her husband a few years back and was delighted to have the company of some younger gentlemen. She is...

Beautiful day in Upstate NY, clear skys and probably 70-75 degrees :yes:. Kids are off for Easter break and I called it quits for work @ 10:30 today. Went over to my daughter's track meet and watched her run around, took the kids to lunch and called up a buddy of mine who rec'd permission to...

Had a beautiful afternoon so what better to do than go metal detecting, glad I did too!! Headed out to a few older houses today with my son instead of the cellar hole sites. Used the the D2 with good success today, no noticeable difference between the 9.5 Concentric I used yesterday. Found my...

Found my first good old finds with the V3 this afternoon. Hit the cellar holes site by the crick I reported on last week. This site dates possibly back to the 1820's and is definately on 1850's maps. There was lots of trash and debris to work thru as this floods hard every few years. Found three...

Well folks had my first real chance to get out and detect today after work. Didn't use the V3 because I want a whole day to try it and fiddle around with it, so I fired up my trusty MXT. Went to a guy's house that he had burned down after being flooded out too many times. The property sites...

Cleaning up a cup I tossed some interesting finds into and thought you guys might appreciate looking at them during this lonnnnnnng and dismal winter break :bangahead01:. There are some musketballs, some brass costume jewelery, a screw and key, bronze plates for old pic's I think, and an...

I was reading a thread and I am also wondering if Minelab has sold out:huh: Wondering if anyone here has heard of this?? Here is the quote - While talking to a dealer yesterday, we were talking about our favorite model, the E-Trac. Anyway, he was telling me how Minelab sold out to another...

I cannot wait to try it out :cheesysmile:. Hopefully the ground will not be frozen or snow covered :beatdown:. I also hope it runs right up there with the E-trac and leaves nothing in the ground behind me :rolleyes:.

My local Home Depot had 36 AA's for $13.98 :shocked04:, Holiday Sale stock up item. Good time to buy, I bought 2 :smitten:.. Thought I'd pass the savings tip on. That is quite a bit cheaper than I can get 28 of them at Sam's Club!!

Fellow MDer's, Had 1/2 the afternoon today to MD. I went down to a house where I have done some tile floors to look at an eyebrow window in the roof that had its window stool rotting off. Told the homeowner I could probably figure out how to replace the stool and would figure on doing it after...

Fellow MD'ers, Had 2 hours this afternoon to hunt with my friend Don at another friends house down in the Village of Owego. House is 1860-70's??. Need some rain here but was able to dig a few good targets. Best coin was my last pull a '59 Rosie, SILVER :grin: . Also, found 5 wheats - '36, '39...

Just found the forum and it looks to be a good one!! I didn't have a chance to hunt this weekend but I was able to pull this stuff Friday 13th from a yard I've hunted repeatedly and have always pulled some good finds from each time. I used my MXT this time around. I started in an area I haven't...
