So I put on my costume today and headed into the woods to do some trick or treating. My first 3 sites were complete duds, no bodies home and no candy for my bag. BUt finnaly I found a little hole in the woods off the beaten path that didn't appear pounded to mince meat....I spent 2 hours and...

Was in the woods before daylight today with my handy dandy headlamp. I hiked a good 40 minutes before I finnaly reached my destination....I finnaly found the cellar hole after passing it and returning back down the road. This cellar hole was very small and caved in....easy to pass up. I didnt'...

My buddy finnaly made it out from Ohio to do some hardcore New England Cellar Hole Hunting! We almost flipped his S.U.V, He crawled into a cubby hole with a glow stick that illuminated several venemous spiders, We got turned around in a briar field and had to rely on the compass to point us back...

Got out of work early today so I went back to my SUPER DUPER SWEET SPOT and focused attention in the area I just got the Half Cent last night. This Copper was DEEP (10-12 inches ) and was barely reading on my machine but kept hitting at Half Dollar. Usually this is a piece of iron or a nail, but...

SO here I go again. It's raining today worse than yesterday...which means no work. So once again I slip into the rainy woods....I always end back at this site....The ground being wet has helped ALOT! Anyways, heres 3 buttons. One large colonial button with nice design. A plain flat button with...

Today was a complete washout. So I had no work and my wife was babysitting a house full of kids so Sniffy exited stage right. I went back to my old faithful site with no real high hopes of finding much. This time I focused on the same area I found my first capped bust dime..Not 5 ft away from...

Went further up into the hills passed the site I found the Bone Inlayed 2 tined fork....The land owner told me there was several old dwellings but his nephew went back there in the 90's. I asked him what he found, and he just kinda laughed and told me he didn't find much and gave up...This was...

First off, My 3.5 year old son dug and pinpointed this token so I give him complete credit for this being his first copper. However I did have to break some roots for him...He was so excited &quot:grin:ADDY I GOT A COPPER and the rest of the day all I could hear is copper COPPER...COPPER! I...

Got out today for a hunt. Most of the sites I hunted were hit hard at some point, but managed to find a couple keepers and my new favorite button!

Here's my weekend coppers. 1731 KGII Farthing, and a 1794 Liberty Cap large cent. I haven't been posting much lately, I jut recently had my 3rd baby. My time has been cut down drastically...BUT I have been in the woods....short after work hunts, and 3 hr sat. hunts...Thanks for checking it out...

Got out today for a colonial hunt with Foundation Hunter (Gary). I headed down to his neck of the woods today. As we headed to one of his early colonial sites, I notice a spot that looked very VERY good for a cellar hole. I had him stop. I dashed up the bank and sure enough a colonial cellar...

AHHH finally the weekend! I got a few hours to hunt today so I decided to go back to the spot that has rewarded me with a nice handful of coppers, capped bust dime, and two other marine buttons just like this one. (only this one is smaller). The draped bust was trying it's very best to hide...

Found this today at a site that has only produced (no backmark) colonial buttons, a KGII, and a farthing....I can make out what appears to be a bust facing left, and BRIT....Im stumped, it's bigger than a large cent. Someone had a nice house fire and this poor coin fell victim. The other side is...

Slipped in to a little colonial spot today after work...yes...work on saturday! ahh...anyways, the last time I was here I dug a big handful of colonial dandy buttons...( I threw in the designed dandy I found the other day into this pile of buttons). I just knew there would be some coppers here...

So today was pouring..no work. So I spun down and picked up Heavymetalnut for another Colonial cellar hole hunt. After the long hike to the site (getting soaked before we even arrive) we began detecting. At first the targets were very far and few in between, but after a couple buttons popped up...

So today was a rain day...no work. So what does sniffy do? HE DASHES FOR THE WOODS! I spent a couple hours in some areas I really haven't focused much attention. It once again pays off to go very slow and listen very carefully to tones. I don't pay much mind to VDI numbers, it seems to be a...

What a beautiful day today was. My only day off, I decided to spend a couple hrs at a site that has been producing well. I slowed the DFX down to granny gear and decided to really focus. IT paid off very well. In between the iron grunts I found another marine button (Not but 3 ft away from the...

Today I got about an hour block of time to myself. So I hopped in the jeep and headed to a site that I'd nailed pretty hard in the past few months. Only this time I was running the DFX at full blast....everything peaked right out. I was very happy to dig this button at 9-10 inches deep. This is...

I FINNALY DID IT...MY FIRST MILITARY BUTTON! I headed back up to the spot I just found the capped bust dime (in the pouring rain). I spent half the day up there and managed 5 buttons and this brass clamp whatsit. This area is huge and it will take a long time to go over all of it. But the...
