I went to a farmhouse that was built in 1850 tonight. I've hunted this place a few times before and it yielded me one coin...an 1821 Large Cent. That was with the DFX... This is the first time I took the E-trac to this site. It is just hard to discribe how excited I am about this hunt! The first...

I went to a new site tonight that belongs to a teacher friend. She doesn't have much of a yard, but it kept me busy! Those little yards in town have alot to offer! The house was built in 1895 in an old neighborhood. I thought it was going to be a quick hunt, but the targets just kept coming and...

I went to my wife's cousin's house tonight. It was built in the 1920's and has a nice corner lot at the edge of town. I hunted this house last year and dug some wheaties and a susan B the last time, but no silver. I knew there had to be some silver in this yard, so I gave it another shot. It...

I went to a garage sale and this fella had a bunch of old relics and such. There was a lot I'd liked to have bought, he had some really neat civil war stuff and some nazi things. I found this and he didn't know anything about it. For a buck, I figured it looked old, but I have no idea what the...

I went back to a house that I hunted last year... Once again, I did not find any silver with my DFX last year at this house, just some clad and a few wheaties. The house was built in 1895, and is quite large. The front yard is small, but the back yard is quite big. I got all my finds today in...

I got out for about an hour tonite to a small park that I've hunted before without much success. I don't know any history on the tiny park, but I know it must go back to the 50's or so now! The other park was from a couple of weeks ago...finds were sparce, but I did get a nice keeper! 2 parks...

I posted this on another forum, but I think it applies to all forums... We recently had a troll inquiring about several of our members' rings... Let's keep this in mind! I think it is a good time to remind our members of some of the things that can ruine a good hunting experience. We all love...

I wanted to hunt last night, so I called a buddy of mine to see if he wanted to come along. I first hunted this site with another detectorist who found the site, but no longer hunts. I haven't hunted it in a couple of years and he pounded it with his DFX pretty good. It was a site that held a...

I went to a new place tonight. I got permission from someone whom I bowl with. The house is over 100 years old, but I can't tell anything more than the shape of the place and the sandstone foundation. It has been renovated, added on to, and a pool put in...So, there was alot of ground moved...

Got a late start tonight and decided to hunt a teaching friend's house. It was built in 1887 and it was a quick run through. Found a few wheaties, an old costume jewelry fake amethyst pin, and this really sweet token. I haven't been able to find much about this Doctor or the time period, but I'm...

I went to a new house that I got permission to hunt. Today is my brother's birthday, so I went hunting with him. I knew going in that I was going to let him dig my really good signals, because he was using my Ace250 and it does have its limitations..lol. I started my hunt with digging a 1953...

I decided to go to a park that I had hunted last year that didn't yield me anything but a bunch of clad. It is an old park, but I just couldn't get anything. I figured it was slammed over the years. It sits in a small amish community that dates back to the 1840's. I took my daughters with me...

I went to a house that I had hunted last year that was built in 1890. It sits on the main street in town and has a large curb strip. I spent the majority of my time in the curb strip this evening and I found several things I missed last year with my DFX. I got a 1945 merc, followed by an 1882...

I went to my neighbor's house that I hunted last year with my DFX to see if I can squeeze out anything that I missed. I was in charge of the baby sitting tonight, so I could only get across the street with my girls for about a half hour hunt. I pulled two wheats and a couple of quarters and...

My neighbor asked me to watch his boys tonight for about a half hour and I hunted his yard while watching the kids play wiffleball. I got a really nice signal that I thought was an indian head, but first found a wheat...then another, and another, and another,... Then I finally got to my original...

I started my day at 11 am at a house that I have hunted before with my DFX. This house was built in the late 1800's in a historic town. The first hunt netted me a whopping memorial penny... Today I also only found one coin. This time I got a dateless Buffalo nickel. I then moved on to a house I...

Went to a friends house, my first virgin site with the ET. The house was built in the 1920's and I had to get to it quick before he lost it to the bank. It was a faster moving hunt than I'd prefer, but I was able to pull a couple of nice finds amongst the mountain of clad coins. I found no older...

Went back to my friend's house again this evening for a couple hours. Pulled 5 wheats oldest being 1917 and this 1891 Indian head penny. I also found this really neat Radio Orphan Annie Secret Society token. It was folded in half when I found it and I was surprised that I was able to straighten...

Went over to a friends house that was built in 1910, which I've hunted 3 other times and pulled different tokens and an indian from. Hit it really slow with the e-trac tonight and found some stuff I missed. I got two wheaties, the oldest being a 1919, and the other a 1940. Then found this neat...

Decided to go over to my neighbors yard that I've hit several times, because I couldn't get away for no more than a short hunt. I have found a silver dime and a beautiful SLQ in the past along with several wheats. Tonight I hunted for about 45 minutes and came away with nothing but coins!!! I...
