Up & out of the house at 5am this morning for a few hours hunt before the family even woke up. Researched the site of a cellar hole 20 minutes from my house. This site seemed to be hunted pretty good prior, but as I've heard others say, "a pounded site is never completely hunted out". I had no...

I had 1/2 a day in the morning to myself today, so I decided to hit an area that I've been wanting to check out. No cellar holes found as I had hoped. As I was making my way down towards a small river, I was randomly swinging the coil on an existing trail (State land with some trails). I was...

Had a vacation day planned for today. Originally I wanted to hunt a cellar hole or two, but rain in the forecast deterred my plans. I wanted to be close to my vehicle should the skies open up with some heavy rain as predicted. I checked out the radar in the morning and it looked like the...

Got the day off this Friday 6/13. Hoping the weather cooperates. :crossfingers: Anyone available for a hunt? I have open permission to hunt an old property in Scotland, CT or I am also open to hitting other areas if anyone has any thoughts. I'm open to traveling a bit if necessary. Reply to...

I've been working on getting permission to hunt an 1850 house for a little while now. Finally got the go ahead & hit it today. No coins, other than modern Lincoln's and Jefferson nickels. Dug a bunch of trash & a few keepers (keepers for me anyways). There seemed to be a lot of fill at this...

You are very welcome Dave. I enjoyed hunting with you and Todd. Anytime you want to return, just say the word- there are plenty of areas to explore. I still want to see if there is a cellar hole out in the woods like the property owner had mentioned, but could not give specific details as to...

I have open permission to hunt an old 153 acre farm (1775 home still on site). I hit it yesterday and didn't get too much in the line of keepers. I hunted mostly right around the house. Hoping the many fields will be more productive on future hunts. I found this lead item about 9" deep at the...

I was able to get out today & hit a cellar hole in Northern CT. It was tough going today, with nothing fantastic to show for the effort (about 10 shotgun shells, a few bullet casings, a few square nails and a toasted coin I can't identify). I'm still getting to know my machine and this hobby...

Just stumbled across this find from last fall. I just started detecting this past year (thanks to Thiltzy for introducing me to the hobby). I have no idea what this may be. I assume it's not real old based on the threading on the inside. Any guesses on what this might be?

Hi all. New to the hobby & obviously new to the site. I'm looking forward to learning from you all. I want to say thanks to Todd (Thiltzy), Dave (Heavymetalnut) and John (not sure of site name) who were kind enough to let me come along on a hunt this past Saturday. thumbsup01 I came up pretty...
