Went out for a short hunt a couple of hours at an old school site, that has spots with lots of junk; spots with lots of iron; and spots that are clean. I figured that would give the 17" CTX coil a workout or shall I say let me learn more. Pinpointing was not a problem, that was my main concern...

Been on a dry spell lately not much finds and not much to video but today I went over to my Brother's house to try to find his shed key he lost a couple of years ago. Well did not find it but I did find the lawn mower part that I could not find five years ago for him Found 8 copper memorial...

Nice bell Todd, it is nice to find a big one that isn't broken I really am partial to bells.....hmm wonder why?

Did not have a lot of time yesterday between yard work and Memorial Day doings so I was able to duck out for about an hour or so. Decided to stop by at a place we had hunted before. This place has a huge yard and a lot of history but I do believe that it had been detected before the current...

Just wondering if anyone carries while detecting? That is if you are licensed to do so.

Found this the other day, Need some help on ID. Could it be military? Has number 386 and F Co.

Did what is probably the last field hunt of the year. Returned to a field where I got an 1867 Indian last time, this time I got a nice copper thimble only slightly mushed, a Disston Saw logo. I was getting a jumpy 12-23 amidst a bunch of iron and when I saw the coin in the hole I was thinking a...

We went to the fields and an old house today and while everybody found something Doug knocked it out of the park. The first field we tried is one that is filled with a lot of modern trash and so we haven’t hunted it very much in the past. It has given up a Large Cent, merchant token and a very...

Last two days in the field have been hard hunting not much found and dealing with very windy conditions. I dug my first Chinese Cash coin, a HR button or perhaps saw badge and did find a Indian Artifact a very nice hammer stone. Any help with ID on the coin date etc and on the HR item would be...

A friend on another forum posted this: Ok guys you are the best I know with these types of finds...what is the answer? found this flat button last weekend and was wondering if any of you could help ID it. It hard to see in the photo but on the back is an eagle facing to the right with a single...

Monday and Tuesday were dryer and warmer here in Ohio and so we got out to the fields to do some detecting. On Monday we went to the “Eagle” field so named because I got my first…and only….Flying Eagle cent there. This field has been good to me with Seated Dime, Indian Head and gold ring there...

At the end of last season I had a great run of Indian Heads, finding 10 in 10 days. This field accounted for 6 of them. This is the first time we have been back since the snow started flying. Today it was good to me again. Two Indians and two tokens. Found a wick adjuster for an oil lamp, a nice...

We went out a couple days last week, first to our favorite park which has given up many nice things, though lately she has been stingy. Doug, Malachi, Diane and I hit it for about 4 hours, and out of that time only one keeper but it was a dandy! Doug joined the 1700's club with a 1767 One Reale...

Any ideas on this button came from a field where I dug CW Infantry button and large CW Eagle button. It is very crusty and a bit fragile I am going to try a bit more cleaning but...I don't want to ruin it. Stars on it makes me think maybe military, we have gotten at least three other Eagle...

Field hunts have such great potential for wonderful finds, old coins, tokens, buttons etc. One of the real bonuses is surface finds. We are blessed here in Ohio that we have a rich heritage from the earliest inhabitants of this great state. If one keeps one's eyes open and has a basic knowledge...

I have been able to get out a couple of times during the last couple of weeks and Saturday was nice so Doug came down and we hit the ....muddy fields. In those hunts I got 5 wheats 1909,1911, 1928, 19? and a 1949-S and a gold ring! It is the thinnest gold ring I have seen. Marked P 10k that had...

I was having a problem with my WM-10 Charging properly sent an e-mail to Minelab Service USA and got a quick response and a new unit in just a couple of days! All I can say is WOW fantastic service. They know how to take care of their customers! :yahoo:

Unearthing Family History In February of 2013 I got permission to detect a house in my hometown that I have been wanted to detect for awhile. I found many wheat cents, a silver Washington quarter and some artifacts. One of the neat things was an Ingle Systems token for a J. P. Bley, a little...

These are clips from our videos for 2013 hopefully showing we have a good time detecting!
