For those who have to inquire, I have been a little scarce on the site due to a few reasons, not just the cold that put off most from detecting New England for two or three weeks. Things have been a bit hectic at work and I've actually been doing stuff around the house... lol. Last weekend I...

This weekend I got out to a few cellars. Saturday I refused to use my Ironclad gloves that have been washed 3 times. I made due with my regular nitrile coated cloth gloves. They sure got wet and cold. The first cellar I went to I was thinking it was so far out in the forest, that it would be...

...of course there is a story with my hunt; the possibility of a story is the information I found so far about a find. :lol: Saturday I took a ride up to a bunch of cellars. As I got there I realized not only did I remove all machines from the car (which I grabbed one to go out) but I also...

Here's the pics of the bigger items. The U-shaped piece looks familiar but I can't quite place it. The other item...look.. It has the Kearny cross. As I mentioned.... Prob why you were first to comment :lol: I wonder what it was for. Obvi something like a stove or equipment. It was behind the...

I tried to make the most of the time off I had. It was a bit cold, but at least the ground wasn't frozen yet. The OT was calling me.. so on new years eve I took a trip to a close by cellar hole. This is where I found the Bakelite brooch and a few other buttons came up. This time I was at it...

Saturday was pretty warm for December, but today was the first snow up here. Saturday I got out with Kevin and Ray. I had a bunch of sites I offered but it was left up to me to choose which one. I figured I would take them back to the mill site where I got the broken silver fork. I figure it was...

Thanks WD. I have both an engineering and an Aquarius mind.... the most stubborn there is. Lol. A pic of what I did find online. Too bad the picture doesn't show on the web page so It is hard to correlate the list on the webpage as you can see the book has many pages. This is just one page...

Saturday I drove down to an area hoping for a permission. Without getting into too much detail, the parcel ownership was a different address and the 'manager' for the prop wasn't in the office and I was waiting and waiting after leaving a voicemail. I decided to hit a nearby old school where I...

Nice finds. My 1818 would look like that if I hadn't kept it in a thin plastic bag all day near another coin with a chance for the patina to flake off. oh well. Did you notice the writing on the brass piece is backwards? Judging by the last pic being upside down, you didn't flip the brass...

Friday I got out a little early from work so I could try and hit the permission. This was back at the place where three walkers, a medal spill, a balboa, and a few other things like a three ringer and an 1818 LC came up. Again I made sure it was ok. I pointed out to the son that the dog was...

Tgiving weekend I did manage to get out. I may finally take a picture of those finds, but they weren't too spectacular. With the shorter days and an ailment acting up, I haven't been able to get out too much. But I still try. I wish I could have brought the detector with me where I went on...

Thanks WD. idk how I missed that you commented here. Maybe just missed it in the recent post feed. I am unsure if the ground is all that great but I was told for even a white cent, that I am lucky the condition was as such. I did extrapolate pics from the video and you can see how green the LC...

The toy gun is a Wyatt Erp. Here is a pics of the back of the rosette/bell/powder cap. It was secured in the middle while there was a tab on one side to keep it from rotating. The item appears cast as the inside surface is pitted. I cannot tell exactly if it was a screw that went in the middle...

There has been a few times I have been out the past few weeks, but there wasn't too much to show. The places were sound, but not sure the potential was there. I did get a few whatsit items. There were two cellars on a private property that Kev got. The issue was that it is now frequented by...

Saturday after being out there for a while, it started getting windy and cold. :bummer: Earlier in the week I went to another town to ask a permission. The couple are elderly, which I didn't realize from the information. White pages listed them as 55+, but they were unlisted. It was good to get...

I did some cleaning of the medals a bit more and took a few more pics. Most of them are in great shape and the tercentennial is nice copper color.

Friday was umm.. ridiculous. I was thinking to work thru lunch and leave early because I knew of the impending clock change. Welp, they were smart enough to schedule a meeting/training at the end of the day on a Friday. WTH?!?! I still went up, tho, after work to where I got the belt plate. I...

Last night I got out with our very own British bulldog (bollox...:lol: jk.. it's cuz the words sound close.) and Kev to the same site as I got the medal spill. Apparently the place is still hiding a lot more stuff and prob has a lot more left to get. I tried working really well, the area where...

Yesterday there was a hunt that can't be beat. Maybe it wasn't quite a gold or silver cache, but I can say no one has ever had a hunt like this. After work I had to hit Walmart for a few items, which now irritates me that I ran out of peroxide last night with the cleaning which I should have...

This weekend I went to an 1800 to ask a permission but second time there no one was home. So I went to a 1740 house where there was a significance for the man who built it and his role in the RW for the town. I cant give too much away. I heard there was a gold coin found there, after the first...
