This has been a fantastic week, for me, for Diane and for my hunting partners. To recap, I have dug two Indians, one an 1862 Fatty, and a super sharp 1887. Two Seated Liberty Dimes 1862 & 1890, same hole! Coin spill! A very nice Buffalo 1937 and some really cool relics. Diane got a really nice...

Today it was a bit cooler a relief from the 90+ degree days we have been having. Decided to go back to the old Church site again and this time Diane decided to come along. I had went back Wednesday and it was brutal hot the only keeper I found was a smashed ring, the band might be silver but not...

It’s Good To Have A Friend I went back to the old House-Church site where I found the 1862 Fatty Indian yesterday. It was hot 90 degrees and the sweat was dripping off my forehead. I was hoping to squeeze out another keeper or two between all the iron. After covering an area which I did not get...

Sometimes you just have to revisit an old site, my nephew Paul's mom owns a house in town that is quite old, there also stood a Church on this site in the 1800's. We have hunted it in the past with only moderate results, the yard is littered with old square nails and other debris from the Church...

Jared and I went out to help find a lost wedding ring, the gentleman had lost it while trimming his trees. It took about 10 minutes and I was able to find the ring nestled deep in the grass. We were happy to help and it always gives a great feeling when you can find it. Hunting With Bell-Two #116

Alicia Keys fans will recognize the song title, which is easier than recongnizing what I found today. I had a good quarter signal reading 8+ inches, first thing in the hole was a marble and then at the bottom was what looked like a silver disk that was blackened and had bumps on it. Felt like a...

Met up with Kyle to do some fields up north of us and had a fun day. Got some artifacts, 1 Indian Head and a Sterling Silver ring that Diane found. Kyle got three Indians and a Large Cent. Hunting With Bell-Two #115

We had an interesting week of detecting. First we went back to the field where I found the Scout Fob and Merc to give it another go. I did not find much but Diane found a nice 1899 Indian Head lying on top of the ground! A couple of days later we went to another field and the only thing of note...

Found in a farm field says Libertad which is Spanish for Liberty has an uncanny resemblance to a SLQ can't seem to find out where it is from. It is copper and 28mm in size. Other side is virtually slick.

We hunted an abandoned house site that has a field where an even older house had been situated. The house site was extremely junky large bits of iron and scrap metals all over. A couple of wheat pennies were found there and I made the only good find there a watch bezel that appears to be gold...

My wife and I went out and did a quick field hunt and while I did not find much she made a couple of good finds, her very first Eagle Button and a 1940 Ohio Chauffeur's license.

Went out Wed through Saturday and had a good time although my finds were not plentiful. Doug did well with an Indian, V Nickel and a Merc. I did get an Indian and some interesting artifacts. First hunt was a bottle dig with the Dayton Digger, Steve Greene and Mark Ferguson. Friday finally got...

Here are some pics of the Coppers I dug Saturday after I cleaned them some. Lightly washed, Olive Oil soak and washed, toothpick to loosen contamination.

We all know how it is when you are in a slump; the fields have not been kind to us lately. So we went out Saturday and checked the field I had been wanting to hunt for the last month incredibly it was still a sodden mess so we decided to do a door knock. We got permission at an 1870’s house the...

I finally got permission on a house I have been eyeing a long time, nice folks said I come come back anytime. Most finds came from a small section of the front yard, back yard has tons of junk but front cleaner. This comes from two days of short hunts. The first day I started getting a bunch of...

We went out to a new field Sunday that has three sites on it, found two of them. Both of these are close to the road so junk was a problem. First site was obvious you could see the bricks and glass from the road. The crew, Doug, Malachi, Diane, Paul and me were joined by Paul's brother Bill. The...

We went out Saturday with the Crew, while the temps hit the upper 40's the wind was close to that in speed! As we were walking in the fields at times you felt it almost push you over...and if you know me that takes a powerful wind! We hunted two fields and had moderate success with Doug having...

Well the crew got together while we could Saturday enjoying the decent weather. We visited three home sites owned by the same gentleman and had some decent finds. Doug had a total of 13 Wheaties and two tokens, one for Crystal White Soap and the other for laundry bluing. Malachi had a decent day...

Here are a few pictures and a video of our finds, we had a decent year despite missing almost four months due to my hip surgery. Diane had a great year with some really good finds and I had a couple too, not as much quantity but some good quality I hope you enjoy it...

Went out yesterday to our field sites, first find was very large Tombac button, then moved across the road to hunt the site where we have found Indians, seated dime and more. Found a crusty and beat 1910 wheat and a small buckle. The mud is so bad now with the rain we have been having it makes...
