As many of you remember, last year I started the Clad for Kids program to help some needy families of children that my wife and I teach for Christmas. It started with me wanting to do something to help this one particular little girl in kindergarten that literally had her toes sticking out of...

So, Tim, Don and I all hit our honeyhole early this morning. Well...today was pretty special! The first target I got was another first for me... a liberty capped 1/2 cent piece with a 179? date...pretty rough shape, but I'll take it!!! So, we were about to wind up the hunt when Tim comes over to...

Tim and I hit our favorite honeyhole tonight. They finally got the beans off the other field and we were dying to get into it. I called Tim before we left and I said I felt like there were two Seated coins just waiting for us... He replied that he was hold off for a Reale.... We hunted for about...

My buddy Tim and I went to our corn field of dreams... It is a bit painstaking, but we are usually rewarded at this site. I forgot to bring my camera into the field with me, but Tim had his so I'm gonna show his footage. Looks to be an 1840 Large Cent. Here's the vid and pics... OCTOBER 6, 2010...

Don and I got out for a rare hunt together at an Insane Asylum. This place is pretty wild. The state ran it for years and years, but they decided to close it about 4 or 5 years ago. This site is over 1200 acres of awesome hunting spots. The buildings are still quite usable, but they all sit...

Tonight a friend and I hunted our Super Double Secret Cornfield of Dreams... This site has produced and will continue to produce some really awesome coins. We've pulled Capped bust coins, 2 and 3 centers, barbers, LC's, SLQ's, Indians, and alot of really cool relics. We haven't been able to hunt...

I met my goal of 50 silvers for the year and got this awesome find! I've seen these before and always wanted one, but I never thought I'd find one... It's a 1934 merc that has been cut out... Whoever made this did a heck of a job around all the letters, I don't know how they got it so precise...

Just got my new X-1 probe for the ET and put it to good use in my own yard. I've hunted this yard a rediculous amount of times and only oddball signals remain, so I decided to dig a few. This target was giving me a really mixed signal, but it did bump to a 12-46 once or twice. I cut my plug and...

A fellow detectorist who lives in Germany found these last week. Actually he found several of them along with some other really neat stuff. I had commented that I'd love to have something like that to show in class to my students. He promptly PM'd me and sent me these!!! The eagle is a Nazi hat...

I was turned on to this site and it is pretty amazing!!! http://mapper.acme.com This mapping devise is very very acurate! Type in a location and use the map to get the crosshairs on anything, a building, or house... once it is in the crosshairs, click topo and it will drop that location onto an...

The Dynamic Duo does it again!!! LOL Tim (DeepBeeps) and I work great as a team. I have the ability and job to know every street in our two towns and there isn't a place that I haven't been since I deliver pizzas. I'm constantly on the lookout for new sites and this one has had my eye for years...

After 19 hours of driving yesterday and 1070 miles... I'm back in the dirt!!! Florida was nice, but the water hunting proved to be futile.(Thanks again John for the Surfmaster!!!!!) I came away with alot of clad, bunch of big ol' hoop earrings, one titanium ring, one silver ring, and one silver...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I look like a manatee in distress..good grief! Now I know why you guys use the long handled scoops. I am really having a rough go of it in the water. Today I went to a place called bathtub beach...supposed to be a...

I went to some garage sales the last couple of days and found some really cool things. The first things were I got 10 coin holder books for $1.00 Woohoo! But the coolest thing I got was this bayonet. It's a 1907 model Wilkinson British standard issue bayonet! This was the standard issue for WWI...

My buddy let me borrow his Excallibur II for my trip to florida next week. I met him at his work and he put the detector and charger in my trunk. I got home and couldn't figure out where to plug the charger in...I called him and he tells me there is an adapter for it. I searched everywhere and...

I couldn't resist buying this for $10 at Target... My wife thinks I look rediculous...she's probably right, but if she doesn't like it...it's gotta be funny!

A friend that I teach with let me hunt her house again. I hunted it a couple of years ago a couple of times. Once alone and once with a friend. We were both using DFXs and only found a couple wheaties there in the past. It was super hot today and I was being baked pretty good by the sun. I took...

Tonight I went to a school in the Garaway district that I believe was built in 1915, but I'm not really good at the Roman numerals on the front. I hunted this site a couple of years ago with my brother and didn't find anything but clad coins. I was able to hunt the front of the school, but there...

I went to a friend's house tonight who was a DFXer because he wanted to see what the E-trac could do. I got there at about 9:00 and didn't have alot of time to hunt, so I was swinging around rather quickly until he had to use a flashlight to shine in my holes..lol Picked up 3 wheaties in the...

Tonight I went hunting with my buddy Deepbeeps (Tim). I took him to the 1850's farmhouse to help me clean up the place. It didn't pan out like the other night for me, but he got a couple of wheaties and I picked up this part of an old handsaw, this odd 3 ringer skinny bullet:huh:, and a flat...
