Diane and I were invited by a friend to do a small group hunt, our sites were a cornfield, bean field and two old houses. The finds for us were not many but Diane made an interesting find and an outstanding find. I got a first for me so it was a good day hunting with some new friends. We...

We got out Thursday for a short hunt, weather was nice, went to a field that we have had good luck at in the past and found that it had been turned. A bit tricky walking I found a button but we decided to move on and wait until some rain comes to wash down the ruts a bit. We went to the field...

We went out to check some field sites and were pleased to see one of our permissions had been cut. The corn stubble looked decent so we decided to detect this field where last year we had an amazing run of finds including 13 Large Cents. My first good find was a button and that was followed by a...

We went back to the field where I had gotten the Indian and the Shield Nickel the day before and was rewarded for years of patience and digging those darn 12-06 to 12-09 signals out in the fields. What are those signals typically, foil, small bits of copper or brass and these so many of these I...

Saturday morning was a brisk but sunny day here in South West Ohio and drove out to the fields and was pleased to see a field I have permission on was cut, the bean stubble was a pleasing site since the corn last year in this field made swinging the coil more difficult. My first good signal was...

Coppers Are A Girl’s Best Friend! We went back up to meet with Bill to check out some possible field sites but both of the ones were still in beans. So we went to a site that last year Bill found a lot of great stuff and the day before pulled a couple more Large Cents! This is a huge field...

Old Silver From The Field! My friend Bill sent me some pictures of his finds from the last two days from a new site…some pictures….well let’s say they knocked my eye out, the fantastic finds he had made. He then invited us to join him the next day in hunting this field with him, what a...

House Hunt and Two Field Hunts I have not been posting much lately, so busy with work around house and other things but field season is starting so I plan on getting out much more often. My nephew Jim has an old house he is renovating and he asked us to come and detect. The yard is very...

Taking advantage of a moderating temperature and a nice breeze Diane and I went out and did a door knock. He stopped at an old house that I have been eyeing for a while, we had been detecting in an adjacent field all winter and turning up some great finds. The lady that answered the door was...

Here are a couple of videos showing our Large Cent finds over the years.

Did a couple of door knocks on the Fourth and met some wonderful people and made some good finds. First house was an 1850’s house and we had high expectations but not so much was found but we were invited back and plan to do it again soon. Doug got six wheat cents earliest 1925, Diane got two...

Diane and I went out Thursday and took a friend out to the field to try his luck. Fairly new to detecting he has not found anything “old” so we hoped he would get his first keeper today. That goal was accomplished when he dug a mid to late 1800’s suspender clip, not the coin as I was hoping for...

Went out today for a short hunt it seems as Spring is turning into Summer here in Ohio as it got into the upper 80’s. Went to a field that is still open to us not fertilized or planted as of yet. Went to a different spot and while there were not a lot of signals at least I was getting some high...

When we research a vanished home site sometimes we know of little else other than the name of the owner. And more often than not there is not much more information that can be found about them. In this case I was able to track down some more details about the original owner of this property and...

I was able to get out on Tuesday for a short hunt, it was cool and very cloudy but I am trying to get it as many field hunts before the planting starts. First I went back to the field that has given me a couple of Large Cents and some Indians including the excellent 1872 Indian. My first good...

Saturday was a beautiful day here in Ohio, so I invited my friend Bill down to do some field hunts. We both made some good finds. Our first stop was a corn field that has given some good things up in the past. I found a couple of buttons and an elegant suspender buckle that was slightly bent...

Monday’s weather forecast promised warmer temps but with some chances of showers so we decided to go out and hit the field site I found last Saturday. My first good target turned out to be an Indian Head and only after getting home and cleaning it did I find out how good it really was! It turned...

A new site gives up some promising signs, and a few old coins and some nice relics. This site was an easy one to find as there was brick and glass evident and the old map in this case was dead on. I found some neat relics including a large axe head, buttons and an old marble, it seems...

The last couple of field hunts have given some finds, mostly relics and buttons….lots of buttons! I went out to a site that has given some nice items including Large Cents and marbles…a lot of marbles! So of course I found a marble and one coin an 1885 Indian Head. The next hunt...
