Hey All. Been a bit since I've last posted. Met up with Frank to hit some new sites day after Thanksgiving. Not much to report except part of a colonial shoe buckle as well as a bridal rosette. Went out yesterday to the spot I raked up and scored 2 more NY Municipal Police Dept. Buttons...

Hey all. Been a while since I've posted. Summer was way to hot for me so I barely went out. In the time I was off I've been looking for a 68/69 Charger, Super Bee or a 69 Roadrunner. For the last 3 weeks I went back to a virgin site I discovered several years ago that still produces. I've...

Hey guys. I'm looking to buy a 69 Charger, 383-4 & looking for any tips from any classic car owners things I need to consider. Would love to have a Gen. Lee version. Thanks in advance, Roger

Hey All. It has been by far my toughest season ever! I have been searching & hunting new spots galore and have had such bad luck I was really beginning to wonder if something was wrong with my machine. In the last 2 years I have had to replace my original 10" DD Stock Coil as well as my 6x9...

Hey Guys. Hope you all had a great 4th! Take a look at this program and let me know if I should make any tweaks to get more depth / better performance. Doing an air test I was getting 8" on Large Cents, Indian Head, Modern Quarter, Buttons & a Knee Buckle. Thanks in advance, Roger

Pretty wild! 500 year-old shipwreck loaded with gold found in Namibian desert | Fox News

In short it is a light weight gun that was used to move with & support the infantry. http://www.americanrevolution.org/artillery.php From wickipedia. The Galloper gun is an artillery piece used circa 1740 in British colonies (later the United States). It has 1½, 2, 3, 4 and rare 6 pound shell...

Hey Guys. Was out yesterday & nabbed these 2 items. The bottle was on the top of a filled in cellar hole that someone has used as a personal trash pit. Was cracked apart but with the help of crazy glue it's back in one piece. I seem to recall that these are beer bottles. As far as the...

Hey All. Got out with Frank on Sat to hit some new sites way out in the woods. Was hoping these sites would cough up relic's galore but they had been pounded really hard a long time ago & we had to work hard to get what we got. Was happy to nab what I got as well as my 3rd IH of the year...

Got out for a bit yesterday to some new area's. On the way to 1 site I came across this mound & low & behold a Colonial site. It must have been hit hard a long time ago as targets were almost non-existent, except a little 1'x1' area. The spoon was about 3"down & the button was under the...

Happy Easter All. It's been a while since I've posted (been busy with basketball with my 2 boys every Mon, Tues, Wed & Fridays since Oct) but here is what I've found so far this year. The only item I forgot to post last year is the small petal bell with the horse & W.E.B. initials. Got the...

Looking to get out this weekend but hate digging in the snow. Any ideas where I can go?

Here are some additional pic's. 1934, 1949, Google Earth.

Got out today to a spot I've wanted to hit for a few years now. It's pretty far from home but I finally did it. I spotted these from historic aerials from a shot take in 1949. I was also able to see them in the 1934 shot, which is the earliest one available. Unfortunately the Topo's that go...

Hey all as I've been doing this for over 5 years now I've built up quite a collection of CT, NJ's, Regal Coppers as well as Counterfeits. I picked up a very interesting book http://www.amazon.com/Whitman-Encyclopedia-Colonial-Early-American/dp/0794825419 by Bowers, Q. David. It's a very...

Hey all, been a while since I last posted, but here are my finds from the last few hunts. One of these was with my buddy Frank. We hiked to the site & as I was pulling my tector over my shoulder I hear a SNAP! Snapped my toggle switch right off getting ready to start the day's hunt. :mad: Was...

Had Thursday & Friday off from work. Thursday decided to go back to my old virgin site where I got my cobb years ago. I gridded the heck out of this place with my 6x10 D Coil and was rewarded with 2 more coppers. One is a CT Copper, I believe it was a 1787. The other I believe was a KG III...

Got out with Frank yesterday to raid a spot of mine that I haven't been to since last fall/winter. Best hunt for the year! 1st target of the day was the St. Louis Bookmark! After that I took a stroll down coin ally and pulled 1 IH & 3 Wheaties. Coin ally is probably a 10 x 30 lane that has...

Got out with Fast Frank yesterday for an all day hunt. Temps were 46 at the start of the hunt and went up to about 70. Was able to cross off my 1st Shield Nickle off my bucket list. :clapping::yahoo:

Howdy Folks. Been a while since I've posted any of my finds so thought I'd bring you all up to date. It's been a hard year to find any coins and buttons have been even harder to find. So far to date I've netted 5 LC's & 1 IH. Nabbed my 1st DB of the season on Sunday at this Briar Patch....
