Here is a corrected picture...thanks again Dan!

We went out to the “Iron Field” Saturday and we had a super day. Doug started it off with an 1832 Capped Bust Half Dime…laying on top of the ground! I had been digging some buckles and shotgun head stamps when I dug a first for me, a Quarter Cut Large Cent, a Classic Head! Diane was...

Field season is starting up here in South West Ohio, so far we have been hunting two fields that have been cut while waiting for the others to be harvested. The first field a new permission is a very junky site, with a barn that had been taken down recently which masks some of the better items...

Boy I am glad that the farmers are starting to harvest the corn and beans. I went out Thursday and found a site on one of my new permissions. Spent about an hour and a half there seeing what may be found and came up with a few finds. A wheat cent lying on top of the ground was followed by a nice...

Went out yesterday to check out some fields, first we stopped at an old house that we have hunted before and this time picking were slim, I got a 1920 Wheat and a Sterling Silver bracelet. We went across the road to check a field that the old maps indicated a house site, we spent about a half...

Saturday was a nice but windy day here in Ohio and we were looking forward to a good day of detecting. Went out and checked some fields but they were not cut and then did a door knock in where we got permission for two old houses and 400 acres of fields. Earlier also got some new field...

Saturday was a cool crisp day here in Ohio as the group got together for a hunt. Doug and his son Malachi joined Diane and me for a day of door knocking and detecting. First site was one we have hunted before, a mid 1800’s abandoned house that is in the process of being torn down. Again the...

Return To The 1803 House Today we went back to the 1803 House where I got the beautiful Two Cent Piece and the Lincoln Campaign medallion last week. Today was a good day with everybody getting some thing good; Bob used my E-Trac today on his second ever hunt. He got a 1947 Dog tag and his...

When you search fields and old houses sites you find a lot of miscellaneous brass item, normally they are quite discolored and you can not tell if there is much of a pattern on them, some of the designs can be intricate and beautiful. Even the simple lipstick tube, buckle and drawer pull can...

My neighbor wanted to learn about detecting so today I took him out to a park and lent him one of my detectors, he caught on very quickly and dug a few pennies….and junk! I dug a few pennies, two nickels….and junk! We decided to go to another place and on the way he said he had a friend that...

Went out today and did some door knocking. Is it just my area but out in the country no one seems to be home on Saturdays anymore! Finally found someone home got a yes, not much in the yard but did get two wheats and a 1951-D Washington.

That is about permissions. First stop door knock the lady was real nice although we only had about an hour or so since she was leaving for work but we can come back tomorrow. My first dig on a 12-30 12-31 signal turned out to be an 1875 Indian, numbers a bit low when I saw the coin I was...

Went out for a bit with my nephew Paul and his brother Bill and my wife Diane did an old house that Paul got permission on. Not a lot of finds but some good ones. Bill got a 1924 wheat, Paul got a Large Cent and a nice flat button, I got an 1890 Indian and Diane got a holed and crusty Large Cent...

I did a door knock yesterday and got a permission on an old house, started by digging old wheats, 1911-1917-1919 ad was wondering when an Indian would show up, finally did a nicely detailed 1902. The Indian has an iron stain and I am working on cleaning that. Finally popped a Merc, both...

I decided to go through some of my stuff that I have had in my boxes of miscellaneous finds, brass buckles, rings, rein guide, decorative pieces and run them through the tumbler…and I was pleased with the result. Many different types of buckles some similar to ones I have seen posted on relic...

We went out this weekend did a few old houses did not find many old coins just some wheats and some relics of which this is the best one, a huge key, looks like a big door or gate key. This came from an 1830-1840 era house.

I found this wonderful little rocking horse at a late 1800’s house. At first I thought it was lead but after cleaning it I can tell it is brass. The appearance to me seems to be vintage as it just has the design look of an earlier period. It is approx. 2 3/4" long & 2 1/4" high

Did a old house hunt, found a lot of clad, a bunch of toy cars, an emblem for a Ford Car, part of a cap gun, a 1927 Mercury Dime and solid brass money clip with a monogram on it. We will go back again later this week since we did a fast hunt due to a thunderstorm coming in.

I went to a park this morning and found this piece of jewelry; it is a fur clip that was used to hold a ladies fur stole together. Fashioned as Charlie McCarthy the famous dummy of Edgar Bergen it was made in the late 1930’s and first advertised in Women’s Wear Daily in October 1937. It turns...

Diane and I had a couple of hours to go out and hunt so we went to a small park that we have not been to before. Found some wheats and I found one piece of bling a nice Sterling Silver ring with stones in it.
