SO all day today I couldn't stop thinking about the cellar hole I found the shoe buckle and draped bust yesterday.....SO today, I bee lined straight to it after work. There was a slight drizzle which was comforting considering how warm it was today. Immediately I was attacked by the FLIEBALLS...

Got out of work a bit early today, so I went the long way home... lol I stopped by a new cellar hole I recently received permission to hunt.

I thought the rain was gonna let up so I ventured off into the woods after an old cellar hole. By the time I reach the site I realize how cold and miserable I allready am. I figured this spot had been pounded to death and was losing ambition pretty quick. Just as I told myself..what are you...

Got out for a quickie. This home was built in the 1740's but was a tavern from the 1760's to 1790's the homeowner told me. This is the same place that I had previously mentioned that a homeowner found a King George II Copper in the fireplace. Anyways...I hunted for about an Hour and a half. The...

Last night I stopped by my honey hole for an hour and popped out an Indian and this awesome Seated Dime. Today I had the opportunity to do a whole different section of the farm. An area that was once a church until it burnt down, it was built in the 1770's. So I focused on what was once the...

Got permission to do some colonial yards today....The first stop was a colonial home. The yard had been raised to build a retaining wall. SO I can only imagine the coppers that are under 3 ft of fill....but there was a little side piece that hadn't been disturbed...I managed a batwing buckle and...

Today was a complete wash out, so I didn't have work. SO i figured it would be a great opportunity to try out my new Garret Pro Pointer. Most of the sites here in my neck of the woods still have waaaaay to much snow to detect. But fortunately I found a spot that hardly had any snow on the side...

Here's a group shot of my last two hunts. Last weekend I found the designed button, Crotal Bell and 1853 Seated Dime. Today I found a 1906 V nickel (MY FIRST!) And the Barber dime in the same hole...nice little spill. Todays site was pretty early, but I'm pretty confident it was hit hard. The...

I pinpointed some sites in the summer time but never had any luck finding them....way to thick. Anyhow, I figured I'd go back today and see if I could find them now that the leaves are down and the ferns and briars are at bay. After a grueling hike and several attempts of walking parallel to the...
