Al and I headed out on Sun morn. We hit a new park that looked to be promising, as they were dozing it...there were signs of old pottery etc. But alas....EXTREMLY trashy, even with disc. on it sounded like a machine gun, no matter how slow I went. After awhile, and nothing but some clad we...

Sunday, Al and I headed off....we drove about 45 min to a spot we wanted to hit only to find it covered still in snow >:# So we drove south to a park that HE had some success at previously this year...again, the dirt fairies blessed him :angelic:...I managed a really nice 1888 Liberty...

I leave my detector in the trunk of my car at all times.... I came to work this morning arriving at about 8 am. I park my car in the municipal lot behind my building. It's not the best of areas, always shady characters, and I've had to call the police numerous times. I was in my office working...

I was hoping to play hooky for the whole afternoon. I was planning on going to Hampshire County for some legal filing and thought I'd hit some spots up that way ..the wind and temps were just too cold :frozen:...so I headed back towards work >:# But as I proceeded back into Hampden County, the...

With the snow finally melting, my back feeling much better...it was time to hit the dirt. There is still snow on the ground so Al and I had to think about where to go...somewhere that has had enough sun to melt the snow AND thaw the ground...we headed to the park..where we pulled over 100...

This week, the kids have the week off for Winter break, My wife and I both took the day off on Monday to take our daughter to The Boston Science Museum, which is totally targeted at kids. I figured it was just going to be one of those days, dealing with the mobs of people, looking and playing...

Al and I went out today for a bit...I was hoping it would be for longer, but :frozen:...and the ground was SO HARD >{...I had to leave a few targets in the ground cause I just could NOT get to them >:# >:/ at some point I was actually using a rock to hammer down on my small shovel hammer like a...

Silver Thimbles and other relics that have been waiting I'm still cleaning the finds that did not warrant my immediate attention during the detecting season (2012)...and have not been posted...I think I have 2 0r 3 bags left In this round of cleaning, I came across some interesting items that...

I found this...of course..have no idea what it is? :dontknow: The base metal appears to be maybe brass, there is clear glass that looks like a wreath, then the center is like a starburst pice of plastic. Anyone have ANY ideas?

I'm really bad about cleaning up ALL of my finds. If it's not a coin or a relic that immediatly hits me, it goes into a gallon size ziplock in my truck, and I get to it whenever...I have bags of them! So being that it was a day off, there's a foot of snow on the ground, my wife was not around...

Dan and Dave...and other relic hunters...I need some help identifying and dating this buckle I found. I found it earlier this year, in a park that boarders a river, in a town that dates to the late 1600's. I have not found any other early artifacts there earlier than early 20th cent. I am...

I was hanging at a tota of 96 silvers for the year...so close to the 100 mark. With only a few weeks left in the year, and the busy holiday season, living in new England where you don't know when the ground is going to say no more, along with a death in the family with the funeral on...

Sunday was a beautiful day to get out, I was 8 shy of the 100 silver coin mark for the year. Kept hitting stubmling blocks getting out the door, including a rather funny story about my boots, which my dog had chewed the laces and I asked my wife to pick up some for me, so I had to restring them...

I have heard people's mixed feeling about the use of the x-5 on the e-trac. I bought one last year and used it a few times. I didn't seem to notice much difference and thought that the stanadrd coil worked good enough. Well......I was wrong >:# Al and I have been POUNDING a particular site...

Al and I hit the park that has been AMAZING to us this year...we have pulled over 100 silvers from it, countless wheats, buffalos, V's, indians, 2 halves, jewerly. etc. There area some very trashy areas in the park. I put on my x-5 to go through these area. Yesterday, I decioded to go through...

Continued from WHAT A HUNT!!! So as I stated, Monday I was unable to hit our new Hot Spot...so being a bit unfamiliar with the area, I went to my GPS and plugged in Parks near my location. Up came a park about a half mile from where I was. I drove there, the park didn't look to be too old, but...

Found this during Al and I's field hunt. The small end is threaded. I am thinking it is a winder of some sort. Confirmation? Suggestions?

Al and I debated if this were to be a field hunt or a park hunt.......I'm still not completely decided...being that the best finds were coins...I figured this post belonged here...but it also could be posted in relics...... I give credit to Al for keeping his eyes and ears open and finding us a...

So after being a thorn in my wife's side for years, and my finds just sitting in boxes being forgotten about. I decided to get a display cabinet to put my finds in....and put it in my office..which works to get it out of my house from my wife.......and enables me to talk about it with clients...

Al wasn't up to par for our ritual weekend hunt. I thought about going cellar hole hunting, but it had been raining and still looked like the bottom would drop out any moment and I didn't want to be out in the woods when that happened, especially on a dirt road >:#...so I decided to hit a park...
