Have to appreciate the "nads" of Daddy Digger as he approached the muscular farmer as we drove past his No Trespassing signs! Turned out to be a very friendly man, and a yes to hunt his yard. Way to go man!! Sad though, Digger Don and I just couldn't scoop up any of the many Indians that Dave...

Back to the ol school site, formerly also an 1850's road running though this sports field. Always managing to pull more silver, just seems to be very tarnished lately. Now if only I could find gold at this site. Pulled probably a few hundred pull tabs. I think I'm due.

I"m curious if we can put together another hunt in Connecticut. As an Illinois detectorist, I enjoyed hearing the experiences experienced by my friends here. Frankly was a little jealous as I haven't had the opportunity. So much deeper history on our east coast!! Anyways, thought now would...

Bull dozed 1920's school became a grocery store last year. Field in front has been picked to death...... but when there is short time and I have to get out it's been a place to renew my sanity. Couple hours there and 5 silvers pop out. Turned my machine's setting for "deep" off. Not sure it...

And here they are. Enjoy.

Love your Charger! Here is my beast! 428 cu in was standard in 1969. :grin:

Well the gentleman only gave us an 8 foot wide path to hunt in the front plus the parkway but along the area we could go no further the goodies began to pop up. 1881 and 1907 Indian plus a 1915 rare girl Park and Recreation Association of America pin. Partner in crime Digger Don also pulled an...

There once was a chauffeur who fell in love with his bosses wife. Unfortunately he was caught in the act, and he fled through the bed room window. Fortunate for me I now in the year 2017 found it, in an act of courage, beating out this crummy rainy day! Obviously this is a before and after...

It's sad when you can't remember which houses you've detected. Been doing this since the 80's. Finished up work a little early and saw a man in his driveway and asked permission. After the yes, I ask if it's been detected, and he's like not in a long time but once. Finally realize it was me...

Just thought I'd share a few buttons I've found in honor of Don. I know how he loves buttons!! :grin: Top gilded with floral pattern I found a few inches away from the large cent in Prinston IL. Center war of 1812 button was a week ago at a farmer's front yard. CLR works well bringing out the...

You all obviously had a great time. Hope to join you if possible next time. While Don and Al were away had to capture these beauties. Not as old as your captures but still...... :yes: Tim In case wondering why I haven't posted much, I needed my 18 year old daughter to show me how to down...

While you boys are grabbing all the colonial relics I had to grab some of the other local Wheaton IL goodies. My first barber quarter of the year and it's a beauty. Hope you guys are having fun. :grin:

Would love to try my luck out east after the snow melts. I know you all are meeting up now. how's about a follow up hunt? :grin: If you need references, Digger Don will vouch that I'm not a serial killer, LOL!

My name's Tim youngberg and I've been detecting since the early eighties in Wheaton Illinois and a few outlying towns. I'd like to thank Digger Don, not only for inviting me to this page but also for inviting me out today. It's always good to get out even when you get skunked and find nothing...
