There is a house near the town green which we were able to hit yesterday. After work I headed down. We started in in the back field which was freshly plowed but there wasn't much luck in the coin department. Near the border of the field there were a few hits, but it seemed like 20 feet into the...

Got out to two places but they were more a reconnaissance trip. The second place I definitely found the structure(s). Wasn't there too lomg. In am access road I found this piece that looked like a target while uncovering it. Cast brass and it says No 6. There was a big Axe head I found too right...

Just for the heck of it I took all the possible coins (except a gold coin which I don't own) and got the numbers that they register at on the Time Ranger. I kinda did it with a few coins before to get an idea but now there is a list. As I stated in another thread about processor bit size, 16 vs...

Today I managed a short hunt. I went to a small park in the oldest part of town. I was thinking to check how the finds were before texting to see if I can have someone join but there wasn't much for finds. There was one thing I think was big that I had to give up. It was under some old roots and...

Pics of the object Ok, I got pics. One is zoomed in a bit. It is possible that the center it had said "PAT" for patent. The item looks like it is made of lead and both sides of the holes are beveled. Only one side would be made that way if it was used for screws. It was found sometime 1973 or...

Cleaned oldest wheat Wow, sometimes you don't realize how much crud just gets caked on coins. Last night I used the hot H202 method to try and clean the find from this week (on another thread). It was still too wiped to get anything. So I figured I would try my oldest wheat cuz I knew it looked...

Anyone, most likely from CT, have any idea about a tag a friend had found? It was found in the bottom of an uprooted tree somewhere in East Hartford when he was 10 years old. It's a silverish tag just a bit bigger than a penny with three holes. One hole is in the center and two on each side...

...I take a day off work and you think there would be relaxing? I was busy until 10p which is why I post today. Yesterday I got out with Lou and Drew out to some cellar holes to a place Drew checked Monday. There were about five or so cellar holes there. Anyone know why there would be a 40-50 ft...

I think I'll add to this rather than to start a new thread, esp for the minimum I found. Pennies are not hard to come by. This weekend I only made it to one place. Got an 1918 wheat in way better shape than the 1914 on Thurs. The rim is huge and idk why. I also got a 1967 that was weird. It was...

Yesterday I said it and it was true. I didn't waste the day when I got home from work. After relaxing for just a bit I decided to go. The first place I spent 2-2.5 hours there and I didn't have much to show for it. Toward the time I was about to pack up, this old woman from across the street...

There was a big stint where I wasn't out, due to overwhelming blah blah things to take care of, working on the house, and being sick twice. Only one of those was a common cold tho. Lee and I went out on 5/20 to a park near his house. Neither him nor I had any really great finds, but it was...

It took three times but Lee finally got me to find that colonial coin. :shocked01::lol: I wanted to put that as the thread title. We got out yesterday to a site that hasn't been hit much apparently. On the way up to the dam, he found an area to check out. Along what he thought was a worker's...

I been finding coins right along, but I just don't miss the random junk too. The coins I usually get are all clad. And if I find a regular penny, it's 60's or 70's...not a wheat or IH. But I wonder how many of the iron signals I got that sometimes gave a steady number, that I now ignore, had...

Got out a second time this week..I guess one day with Lee wasn't too much to handle. He took me to a park and boy it was packed with a ton of people playing sports in their colorful uniforms. We got a few clad, he got another wheat, and we both got IH. He had showed me the location where the...

I finally got the change to meet this crazy English buggah yesterday. Lol. Lee, Jk, you are just as sane as I am. After work I headed down to meet him. As soon as I got close I could see all the colonial style houses and knew it was a historical section. I would say fairly good place to hunt...

Thursday I tried to get permission to hunt a field. I was too late to find the guy who owns it. Friday I went up on a hunt in the woods, nothing but iron around the cellar holes. Only good thing was knowing not to bother going back. It was hit real hard. I been itching because it's been over a...

Having the old maps and knowing town history, I know there only stands one remaining school house out of 12 districts. Looking map over again and comparing to google maps now, I see there is an area next to a new school where the old school once stood. It looks like the school stood where there...

Pics as promised. I think the small green bottle was for cosmetic cream. Some was left inside..no I did not try it out.

Today I went out to a set of farm fields to do some detecting. Took a vaca day for work cuz a 3 day weekend wasn't long enough. I know the farm existed back in the 1700's, but I don't know how many of the fields existed back then. The finds tended to be mostly slugs and bottles. Found 4 slugs...

Well, as I said, here are the pics of finds. I wonder what that imprinted foil piece you had is. And you did find one musket ball. On Friday I went for a hike up to a place where Mark Twain supposedly visited. There's only a chimney left. Only found two zincolns, 1975 and 2005, and one weird...
