The weather was not too cooperative for detecting this weekend but I'm grateful for any kind of December hunting. I hit a few tot lots in the rain with nothing amazing to show for it. I also hunted the spot where my father and I scored 6 silvers last weekend but all I managed was 5 more wheats...

I just placed an order, which only after the fact do I realize was not right (I'm and idiot). I've tried to PM Angel and Epi but I do not see the PM in my sent messages folder even though it says it was successfully sent. Am I losing my mind?

My Dad came to town for the Thanksgiving weekend, and in addition to the family time, turkey, football, and fun we managed to get in some good detecting time together. Long story short, we hit a whole bunch of different areas - most of them wooded, out of the way spots. The best however proved...

So much to do and so little time to do it! Saturday morning was taken up by chores and errands and whatnot but I did manage to get out for a quick 2 hour hunt in the afternoon. On the flip of a coin I decided to hit one of my old favorite spots that I have hunted 30 times already but not at all...

I assume it's a buckle anyway. Looks like it has two patent dates on it but I haven't had any luck with either. Any thoughts?

It's been another while since I've been able to get in some good swing time. Work has monopolized so much time that hunting has taken a back seat. I've found that beyond actual time to hunt it's very helpful to have time during the week to just THINK about where to hunt next. Otherwise I find...

Life has been pretty much all work lately, which has been tough to take during the nice Fall weather we have been having. This really is the best time of year for detecting. Finally though after two weeks I was able to get out this weekend. I mostly stuck to tot lots, but I did spend some time...

Not too much digging for me this weekend but I did alright with the time I had. I got out Saturday evening with about an hour of daylight left; I hit a local park and managed a 1952 Rosie and a silver dime that looks like it spent some time on the train tracks. This is the second squished silver...

On Saturday morning once again I found myself a bit hesitant to go hunting because of a long list of things to do around the house. But after last weekend's hunt it was a little easier to convince myself all that stuff can wait. I headed back the same spot a few towns over that gave up 7 silvers...

Not much hunting for me lately - I got out once over the past two weeks for just a short hunt and scored a bit of clad. Yesterday (Saturday) was too busy for detecting and even though this morning was free I was having a hard time convincing myself to go hunting at all. I couldn't think of...

Saturday was supposed to be stormy with all day rain - perfect tot lot weather. I hit a few with decent results. I had so much fun that Sunday morning I hunted a few more with even better luck - a handful of clad and a 10k right with three tiny diamonds. The ring is the largest size of any I've...

I got lucky tonight and happened to be able to get out and happened to come across a site I've been watching all summer. It's a local construction spot and they had just opened up an area that had been fenced in since the start of the project. Conditions were rough, with the Etrac running in 14...

For the past four summers my family and I have vacationed at the beach in New Hampshire. It never felt like one week was enough so this year we went for it and took a two week vacation there. It was hands down the best two weeks of my life. I will say that a two week vacation is far, far better...

I was able to get in a few hunts over the weekend. I find myself more drawn now to wooded spots; no doubt due to the time I've spent and finds I've made at just such a spot this summer. So I tried a new wooded spot last Friday. It was rough hunting but after an hour or so I had scored 5 wheats...

Still not too much detecting lately... work is all consuming and the new home has a long to do list. \:[ I did get in two short hunts recently though, once last night and then again tonight. Both evenings I hit a local wooded spot. I was hopeful that I would extend the silver streak at this...

Well, another few weeks since my last hunt. As a personal update, we closed on our old house and got the check today, so we are officially moved! All that's left to do is get settled in the new house... So far, getting settled seems to mostly involve me and the Mrs. accusing each other of having...

The whole buying a house, selling a house, moving business has kept me from detecting for a little over a month. I tried to get out a few weeks ago but on the drive there I got into a car accident and totaled my car. Thankfully no one was hurt (and the detectors were undamaged). However, having...

I dug myself silly this weekend at a whole slew of locations. Mostly hit some tot lots that had gone neglected in my month away from detecting. They were productive, but not how I would have expected. The '46 wheat, '40 nickel, and '43 Merc all came from different tot lots. The wheat and the...

Well... it was a beautiful day in upstate NY. We had just listed our house for sale, and had received and offer, and had countered with an offer good until 9pm today. Rather than sit around and stew in my own anxiety I got out for some swing time. I headed to a wooded spot that gave up a nice...

My dad came to town for a visit over the holiday weekend, and we managed to get in some good swing time. I've only been out once in the past month, so I was pretty surprised to find the dirt as bone dry as it was... digging was rough if not impossible in several of the spots we hit. We both had...
