I finally made it back to the forum. Lol. A bit after I got the nice silver applied buckle I got an invite by Rob S and his dad to come out to a few spots. Spot one seemed to be a virgin site apparently. I also met Massdirtfisher that day. Everyone managed to get a few keepers from the first...

There has been two new spots I have been checking out. One is filled with fun stuff to dig, the other only had a few things to find. Both spots are quite a hike in to find. I have hit one older spot recently and only nabbed two relics, but now there's more of an area that I am aware to hit...

Cleaned up pics of the Matron. It had some decent detail left. And the bullets I dug before hand that made me think dandy button....well... after the first one I was quite discouraged but still gotta dig signals that high. Thanks. I got a few more good finds to come. The day when I got out...

A few hunts are included here, as with the latest few posts from this guy. The first hunt Kev and I met up at a park he had found. A bunch of guys played an intense basketball game as we hunted the grounds of this small park. I noticed from the aerials that they were farm fields in the 30's. One...

Here's the close-ups as requested. Bastian Brothers in Rochester, NY. I did not get the spring pic yet as I was busy with the pics of the finds for the next post...

It's been a while since I had time to take pics of finds and make it onto the forum here. Just after my last post I got out to a new place. Usually I don't find one place and stick with it, unless it is amassed with good finds. The only place that was ever good to keep returning was a permission...

Things been a little hectic lately. Crazy weather a few weeks ago and focusing on getting more permissions I haven't been out too much. There's a new roof getting put on the house (no, I'm paying someone to do it). Father's day weekend I don't think I got any swinging time. This weekend I did...

First hunt included here I had gotten out with Kev after work. I had picked out an open space to try out, but otw there I did spot an elementary school in the older section of town. The open space didn't have much targets. There were a few deep cans and an iron washer kinda fooled the machine. I...

This weekend I could only get in a short hunt. The week was ridic things to do and Sunday was rain all day. Saturday I drove just a little further to an area I was hoping was far enough into the woods that it wasn't hit hard. In reality, it was one that was along the old road that I didn't plan...

Here are the pics of the 'ring' that I found in the town green. The band is crushed so I couldn't tell if it was a ring or not. The other guy I was with had guessed it was a girl scout slide being there were quite a few boy scout slides dug up. Idk but he also said it was the symbol for the girl...

I forgot to add about the hunt on the 21st. I got out with Drew again....finally. I did find some spots but every spot I mentioned he said was hit. We did get to a spot he knew of. I pulled up 2 musket balls and one large button. Possibly a large dandy but it has no design. It was an odd reading...

Idk what it is but apparently I am limited for 2 coppers a hunt. This is either the third or fourth time. Saturday I got up to a new site to me. There were not any recent dig holes or any iron placed on rocks. I started as far away as I could and worked my way along the old stone wall toward...

I def could see it being a hair piece as well. The bar is slightly different than most, but it still has the same characteristics: the bar in the same place and the loop in the same spot. The bottom right is the opposite piece for the buckle, having the clip.

I'm lovin' the warm weather. It has finally arrived!! Wednesday I went to ask a permission, but I am still waiting on a response from the one who calls the shots. While waiting I drove to another place to ask, but I was relying on memory on the ages of the places. Turns out it was really old...

Yesterday I went to ask for a permission. I found the parcels where a cellar exists, but I didn't realize the guy owns a late 1700s house himself where he lives. Lucky I had a nearby spot to try as a backup plan. There were cars, but nobody answered the door. So I went 8 min up the road to a...

Hmm.. I cant find a fugio to save my life. Lol. Thanks, EW. Yeah, they aren't much different, but I think most of the conestoga type are on cows. I just completely think this was definitely an ox type because the fields were plowed by oxen. I found two ox knobs maybe 5 ft away from this...

The weather on mother's day weekend wasn't the greatest, but later in the day on Sunday It was good enough to get out. I was in a rush to even think about it being a holiday and him having guests. Lucky he was still nice enough to let Kev and I hunt. We were banished to the fields of the...

I'll keep it simple this time instead of another novel.. :lol:. The items in the pics are not separated by outings... On the 18th was back at the 1820 house with Kevin. Now my oldest dog tag is 1909 instead of 1910. They were maybe 5 ft away from each other...:dontknow:. On the 23rd I met up...

I apologize up front for the long winded part, and I even left stuff out. But hopefully the pics do the words outweigh the long write-up. On the way out to a few cellars that I visited on the 9th, I drove by this house I knew was in disrepair. I saw some sign out front from the town which...

Finally I'm starting to come out of a slump. Well.. for the three previous short hunts I had since I been better. Friday I took a much needed day off work. You say I got enough time off in recovery? Not quite the same as a vacation day... Being the last week of the quarter it was dealing with...
