Wednesday, I met up with Noah to hunt a park after work. It was a very small park, smaller than an average yard, but I did manage to dig an 1880 Indian and a Cub Scout neckerchief slide. Friday, Dave drove up from Southern Illinois To a little hunting up here where we've had some rain. I met...

Here you go Dave

On Fathers Day, I went out with Noah for about an hour. We found an 1890s house and got a yes. Once again the coins are much newer than the house, but thats ok, I still managed a few silvers. I dug a 1942 Washington, a 1936 Merc, a1957 Rosie & a Shell token. On Sunday, I met up with Dave again...

I'm from Illinois. What can I say!! (and yes, I realize this is 4 months late)

I was able to get out for a couple of hours on Tuesday after work. We hit an 1890s house and I dug a 1919 Merc and 2 Dairy tokens. I also dug an old button. all I know about it so far is that it was made by Hammond Turner & Sons and they were in business from 1717 to 1950. If anyone has seen one...

I met Dave this morning at the same town that we've been hunting all spring. Dave wanted to try a part of town that we've never hunted before. The first house we hit, I dug a1900-O Barber quarter. The second house, An 1867 Indian. So by 10:00 I was about done with the good finds. The rest of the...

Saturday I stopped and did one house while I was out doing errands. I dug a 1941 Washington in the curb strip. Thursday after work I took a drive to a small town an hour from my home. The first house was a bust, not even a wheatie. The second house was built in 1883. It started out slow but...

I went out after work Thursday with my friend Tim (Noah). I had two 1890s homes in mind but no one was home at either of them. In between the two houses was a house from 1911, so we decided why not. We spent about an hour on the front yard. The Silvers started popping in the first five minutes...

It's been a long time since I've detected after work, but yesterday I had the urge to stop and get a permission. I hunted for about an hour and was able to dig a 1957 Rosie, an 1889 Indian & 7 Wheats. Thanks for looking!

Saturday morning Hiluxyota-Tom and I drove a few hours south to meet up with Daddy Digger-Dave for a day of hunting. We met at a park first thing in the morning. The finds were scarce but I did manage a sterling WWJD? charm and an Air Force medal. After about an hour and a half at the park, we...

I got out this morning for hunt before the rain started. I was only able to hunt for about 45 minutes before it started pouring. No silver today, but I did manage 9 wheats and this Columbian II centavo. Hey, it's something! LOL

I met up with Daddy Digger Saturday for a day full of Door Knocking. I lost count, but I guess it was 10 houses we hit. I ended up digging 8 silver coins, including two dime trifectas, a sterling heart pendant, 3 Indians, 12 wheats, a sterling pocket watch back and a flattened lantern top. We...

While Alec and I were in Connecticut, Alec dug a piece at a 1750 house that we thought was a drawer pull. I even captioned it in our video as a drawer pull. Today it was identified by Isaac Pasette as a thumb plate from a Brown Bess flintlock musket . The best I can tell, this came off a model 2...

I met up with my friend Tim (noah) for a hunt Saturday. Tim was getting a yes from an 1890s corner lot as I pulled up. We hunted this yard for a good 2 1/2 hours with good results. I ended up with 5 Indians ( 2 of which went to the home owner), 2 Mercs, 2 Rosies (1 of which I lost), a 43...

The first thing I want to say is Thank You to Dan, Lee & Al for giving up their time and showing us a great time while we were there. The weather kind of sucked, but the company and the adventure were excellent!! Most of all, my son had a blast and for that I am forever grateful!! I would also...

Here's a little bling that alec pulled from a 1750 yard. Rang up 12-13. I don't know if it's old, but it is cool!

Not quite as old as Dave's, but I'll take it!!

A couple of weeks ago, I got together with Dave for about a four hour hunt. That day I dug a 1900 & 1903 Indian, one Rosie and a few wheats. Yesterday, we got together and I dug a couple of firsts for the year. My first coin was an 1896 Barber Quarter. Then I dug a super toasted Indian, all I...

I was heading out for a hunt Saturday morning. When I got out to my car I was surprised to see it covered in snow. Ok, I guess I'm heading south. About a half hour into the drive, I got a call from DaddyDigger asking if I was going out to detect. He said he was heading north from his home so we...

I dug this today. I'm not sure what this was used for. It has a pat. date of 1875. Any Ideas??
