It has been a bit hectic lately with not just one, but two family households moving. I haven't had much me time this past week or so. Even with the last few times getting out I had to deal with the blah blah blah cutting down my time significantly. So after working just a tad late to meet my...

Yesterday I went up to try the new machine at a cellar hole. I did the normal extrapolation procedure: overlaying the old map onto the new satellite view to get a general spot for the house, and checking the historical aerials, ect. That stuff made me think it was at the north east corner of the...

Things have been a little tough since the last bit of finds. I wasn't gonna post for a handful of wheats at my friend's house. That house says it was built 1915, but all the houses near there have brick foundations. Across the street is a big tree, so I know it's an older area. This place I...

Boy I wish I took pics of the amount of dirt, sand, and tiny organic material (pine needles ect) that I found when I took off coil cover. Today I had to correct the washers on the NEL coil on the TR. It was too loose so the coil moved sometimes on its own. I decided to remove the coil cover...

I was not aware of that trick, Dan. Now that you told it, I decided to check it out. Only one, however doesn't Idk what 60 on the Manhattan Brass one stands for. They actually started 1865.

Thanks. I cleaned up the button a bit and got a better pic. Gives me a reason to post again. Oh, Definitely. I said the property was no longer the homestead after 1883, so I know the piece is older than that. I cleaned it up a bit too. Finally got some more peroxide. Since it was cleaned a bit...

...the coins and the relics mean I could put this in either category, but why not the relic thread given better of the finds. During the week I went down to an old area. There is a camp nearby and I was kinda forced to walk a long way to the camp and see the trails. The site I wanted to...

I will start with a short blurb and a few pics of a semi-recent hunt that didn't end up on here yet. I tried to hit a 1955 school, which used to have a house prior to 1868 on the property, and is next to a 1939 school and a bunch of mid 1800s houses. It took almost an hour to finally pull up...

Oh , there was a tent spike I found kinda near the water fountains. It was bangin cuz it was near the surface. The Garrett wobbles with surface targets that must overload it. The BH doesn't care on surface targets and overload is more like "limited". I did have the iron spike to show, along...

Found out how to extrapolate a pic from a video. May not be as I saw it cuz the cam has a limited window size and our eyes see almost everything In front of us. It still shows the rolling hills in the background and the full green of summer. ....Awaiting someone's thoughts of "he must be bored...

Thanks. It did surprise me a bit where I found it and for once a lot of detail on the gun was present. Seeing as most of the stuff I pulled up, even the bottle cap I didn't show, were not new items I think it might be a good place to go back to. You wear long pants, don't you? Better yet, I...

Yesterday I had to hit the dentist after work, but I threw all my supplies in the car so I could do a hunt afterward. Recently I found a spot #3 on the same road that is a 'cellar 'hole'. The house existed sometime up until the 2000s but it is gone now. I wish there was someway to research what...

Thanks Isaac. I am not so sure on the last place being a cabin site. But being hard to find, it might be worth a second look. I drew up what I could on the maps to show a bit. They are not to scale and are somewhat crude but they depict the features of each place as much as I could. #2-4 were...

Saturday there was a bit of on/off rain but I could have gotten out... After last week's ordeal I was given a specific time to be home, and it was incorrect. Just have to make up for it the next few days. Sunday I went up to the mass of cellar holes I know about and went specifically to the one...

Pics of the toys as promised. Lol. I had to look up what the full scale of the last pic was. Wonder if the cockney will instantly know what it is a replica of. Aren't we in the business of finding things? Lol. Well, maybe it's not a booming business. Cool is the word we are using still...

For those who like pics, there are a lot. For this past Wed meeting for the detecting club I got lucky with finds of the month for my jewelry award and the canteen. The gf even won in the silver ring category for her first ring. So there's no confusion, that statement was about her first...

After the cellar hole this weekend, there was no time on the 4th to get out. I actually spent the morning doing yard work :barf: . Sunday, though, I was able to get out with Mike hitting a school. The school was built this century but it was near center of the town and rechecking the map it...

Wednesday night I got out with Kevin to a park. Not much came up but I did pull up what I think is a pin/button. Unfortunately it was in my pocket when I was going into work the following day as I was going to take a pic with the USB camera and it fell out while taking my celly out to check the...

I tried to follow up on the one I was told to come back during 'Spring' to give the owner some time to decide. My luck tho that every time I drive by coming home from work there happens to be someone home, yet the times I try to go ask there happens to be no one home. ugh. I headed to the store...

I went back last night with Bama. I only nabbed 1 more wheat, a 1918, near where I got the buff and V and other early wheat. I did manage a nice pocket spill totaling $1.51. However while out there a few locals stopped by and talked to us. Sure enough, they brought up, without any explanation...
