We had a few nice days so the crew got out to dig some here in Ohio. We went out Saturday to a spot we have been at before but today it was dryer and easier to hunt. I expanded the area a bit and I got a Large Copper an N/D Matron Head. Checking further out in the field we found another site and...

Having seen some impressive results and getting information from my friend ToddCtTodd Yerks I decided to get the Deus with 11" Coil, remote and WS5 headphones. Using a program from Todd we went to a couple of fields that have given us many Large Cents, Indians and CW relics in the past but...

Diane and I took advantage of nice day to get out to the field where I found the Colt Trigger Guard to see if we could find some more parts to the revolver. We did not have luck there but we did get a few things mostly bits of brass and things like that Diane found the handle piece of what I...

Have not been out too much due to cold rainy weather, I went out with my friend Bill to find some sites on a permission he had and we were successful, I got an Indian Head and a very early Pewter Button with Goodyear Patent on it. The crew got out a few days later and slogged through the mud and...

Haven’t been out much due to Christmas doings and lousy weather, I did get out earlier in the month to find a ring and that was sucessfull, yesterday the sun came out and temps were in low forties so I took the opportunity to get out to a field. When I got there I found that the farmer had...

Trying to take advantage of good weather before the impending cold snap makes things…shall we say…less pleasant we got out for a hunt with the crew. Diane, Doug and I visited a field and despite the numerous signs there was not much there except for my find of a very nice early button with a...

Last week we went out to a couple of new spots and while we did not find tons of stuff we did make a couple of nice finds. We will hit these spots again. First spot Diane and I went to was a small cornfield and the stalks made swinging tough and I expect when they deteriorate swinging will come...

Monday was a beautiful day here in Ohio so we went out to find a new site. I thought it would be an easy find due to some permanent points of reference, but the same old map that has been accurate for us in finding sites in the same area seemed to be off quite a bit for these sites. When I...

Some days it seems the finds just jump out of the ground and other days.....not so much! Friday we went to a new site....might as well try detecting in a land fill...yep that contaminated with modern trash. We moved along to the field that has been good to us, not much going on there, Diane got...

We returned to the field where Doug found the Draped Bust Large Cent and again it gave us some good finds. Diane got the first keeper a Large Cent which I think is 1835, the date was so weakly struck it is hard to tell. An interesting thing about this coin is that the reverse is rotated 180...

What a wonderful two days of detecting for the Bell-Two Crew on Friday and Saturday! On Friday I went out to meet my friend Bill who needed some help finding sites on a couple of his permission fields, Diane decided she needed to get some things done around the house so I went by myself. The...

Monday promised to be a pleasant day a typical late October day in Ohio. We went to a new site in a large field and I was able to find it fairly quickly. And what a site it is lot of older finds, no modern contamination to speak of. Diane made the first confirmation find a bent spoon and I too...

Saturday was a cool and brisk morning and very windy but with the promise of full sun later in the day so we decided to go to the fields. Doug and Malachi joined us for our adventure. Our first stop was at old site that is for some reason contaminated with much modern trash. We have occasionally...

With apologies to Peaches and Herb for using their song title but it is very fitting. We went out to 5 different fields yesterday and had modest success, mostly Diane's doing. We got some buttons, including her Eagle Cuff Button, a couple of coins, I got a 1919 Wheat and on the last signal of...

Back to the fields and it feels so good! We got back to one of our favorite fields from last year, the beans were fresh cut and we were pleased to be out of the tall corn stubble of last year. Our friend Bill came along, he is a bit north of us and his fields were not yet cut so we gladly...

Haven’t posted much lately but here is the results of a house hunt and some field hunts. The fields are just starting to be cut and hopefully soon some of the better producing ones will follow suit. We did a door knock and the lady said that the house had been hunted many times before and “You...

Earlier this year our club, "Dayton Diggers" did a demo at a local Cabela's and a man approached our club president Roger Snell to tell him about a cannon ball he dug up in his garden and he invited Roger to come up to his house to see it. Roger went and the man showed him the garden plot where...

We had the opportunity to get out to a permission that we have been working on for over a year, it was not if but when it would be granted. The 1865 house is a stately mansion that is a showcase of the area and since they are remodeling and some pipe work would mean the yard would be torn up it...

We have gotten some much needed rain the last few days so we decided to go out and detect at a couple of old house sites again. The first house has not given up anything really old despite its age, the yard has immense amounts of trash and iron and has had some fill in it in spots. The best...

It has been so hot and humid here in Ohio we have not gotten out much. We have been detecting at an old house for the primary purpose of trying to find a ladies wedding ring, a very trashy site and 8 acres to cover with the possibility of the ring being anywhere. So we go out for a couple of...
