Oh Boy did it feel good to finally get out! Tim and I were pounding out some research on a (hopefully) new honeyhole and stumbled on to a sweet new place to hunt in the process. Tim tracked down the owner and had him meet us at the site. Super nice guy and practically bent over backwards for us...

I've seen a few people have taped thier grip on the E-trac and I'm considering doing it too... I'm wondering what you used for tape (electrical?) and did you put anything under the tape to keep it from getting gummy on the original foam? Fill me in!!

As many of you know, I started the Clad for Kids program two years ago with the best of intentions in mind. It was a small idea that has grown into something bigger and is very special to me and many of the forum members that have contributed to its success. We have done some really great things...

I just thought I'd share this... not every day that any of my finds would ever end up in a magazine, but my 2 reale found this year made it on the cover of Ohio Metal Detecting magazine... I wasn't expecting it, but a friend of mine on another forum develops a quarterly magazine for Ohio...

I have shared this with the other forums I'm affiliated with and thought I should share this here with those who contributed this year... So, I get a message on Youtube about Clad for kids from this guy... He goes by Grizzlygroundswell ... I kinda knew what to expect by his name. He first sent...

Like many of us that record our hunts, there always seem to be a bunch of one good find hunts that just sit in the camera... I figured since we are all snowed in and frozen, I'd show some of the one target hunts, Tim and I's less than fruitful hunts, and a few good finds along the way. I got the...

Tim called me today after he got permission to hunt an old highschool from around the 1910-20's we've been wanting to hunt. He took some video of tonights hunt. We were in wheatie heaven tonight. I got 8 and Tim got 9 wheats, but no silver coins:huh: They've gotta be there, but we only hunted...

This is pretty cool... My buddy Tim and I were talking and I was telling him that a few years back I remembered a reference to wireless headphones from Radio shack. Well, he went down and checked to see if they have anything of the sort. Well, they do. They are made by Auvio and sell for about...

Man, I had some fun tonight. A buddy of mine that I work with brought over a pile of coins for me to look at... Put it to you this way... I've never seen that much silver in my life. He has between 30 lbs and 40 lbs of silver coins... Mostly Morgan silver dollars. I did find one 1921 Peace...

Last night my wife and I met the last 3 families we were helping. The first family we met at our local park at 7:00pm. We were met by the mom's sister who had taken in the mom and kids. She has four kids of her own and the sister that moved in has her 3. Needless to say, I'm sure it is quite the...

Send a personalized message to your little one this christmas... I did this with both of my girls. It's awesome and it's free. Takes about 10 minutes to make, but I absolutely love it... I haven't showed my girls their messages yet, but tomorrow I will. I might video record them watching...

Ok, this is funny! The last time we went to a coinstar, my daughter Meadow age 6 has been trained well to always check the Coinstar machine... She found me a rosie the last time we were there... So, today I come home from work and Meadow finds me another '56 rosie today!!! LOL She's become quite...

Ok folks... First, I have to tell you how proud I am to be amongst the many great people in the Metal Detecting Hobby!!! What started out as just an idea that I had no idea if it would work or not, has grown into something very very special! It all started with a little girl in Kindergarten that...

I got the urge to do something artistic and make myself a centerpiece for a coin display... My hope is to sketch each of the coin types and place them in the center of a frame with the coins going around it. Here's my start to my Mercury Dime drawing. It's really neat to really pay attention the...

Tim got roped into moving someone today, so I went hunting with a fella that lives a few blocks from me. He had a place to hunt that he had hunted a few times with no luck. He's just starting to learn the E-trac and wanted some guidance with it. He isn't without some really nice finds thus far...

Don and I got together today for a beautiful fall hunt at a spot we hunted a couple of years ago. The last time we hunted here he got a nice fatty indian and I got 3 V nickels, but no silver. Today we both had a good day. Don got the first silver of the day with a really nice 1917 Merc. He also...

I had the day off today so I took advantage of some of the last remaining days of daylight savings. I started off the day by selling 15 silver quarters for $60 so I could go buy a new digger. I lost my other one in the corn field the other night just as it was getting dark. I have been wanting a...
