Just skimming the surface is what we did this evening with coins literally on top of the ground! Doug and I went out for a couple of hours last night to hit a site I found last month that is under construction. That meant easy digging and in some cases no digging at all. We started out with a...

Copper set the tone of the day, (pardon the pun) with all the best finds being copper coins. We went out door knocking and the first place was a spot we have wanted to hunt for awhile but nobody had ever been home, well we found the owners home today and they were super nice and gave us...

Got out for a couple of hunts recently one on Saturday with Doug and Malachi and today with Goes4ever and Starky. Saturday Doug and I went back to an old park that has been good to us and I got the only keeper a 1949-D Rosey. The rains kept coming hit and miss and when it got harder we packed up...

We had a little group hunt with the Bell-Two Crew, first at an old park that has been good to us over the last couple of years and then at a private residence. We started out at first with a bunch of clad and then moved to another spot in the park. I got 12-30 signal that sounded good and deep...

It wouldn’t be the 4th of July without it being a hot one, so for that reason Doug and I along with his nephew and son Malachi took off pretty early this morning. We rolled in at about 7:00am to our hunting site and started right in hitting a new area for us. The clad piled up quickly and Doug...

“What this country needs is a good 5 cent Nickel” …Goes an old saying, well Doug and I got some “Good 5 cent Nickels” today. We went back to an old site where we had some great results last year, digging many Indians, seated coins, V nicks and more but lately the pickings are getting slim there...

Diane and I went out to a little park that at one time had an old house on it and we had a very good day. This is the second time we have been there, the first time I found a couple of wheaties, a spoon handle and part of a pocket watch case. I was hoping for better this time and man oh man it...

I found this today, still has gilt on it and part of the thread still in shank. Marked Superior Quality on back and in script the letters I believe are C D, any help appreciated. I did check some button sites but I could not find this.

Today fellow Dayton Digger Tom Johnson and I took a drive down to Hillsboro to see if we could find a wedding band that a gentleman lost in his garden two years ago. The mans daughter asked Tom for assistance and Tom asked me if I could go along and help. We were shown the garden plot and we got...

Found this at an early 1800's house, it is brass and about 3 long large loop has some wear on top as if it swiveled or turned some. Maybe some kind of horse tack....but I just don't know!

Doug, Diane and I went out for a short hunt in the afternoon, this site is extremely trashy but always has potential for some keepers. Well the danger of hunting with your wife is that she will skunk you...well that happened but she also skunked Doug which is amazing! Doug got a wheat I got two...

Went out door knocking ended up at a house we had huntef before. My sole good find is the side of a small powder flask, typical size used for pistols. It has an Eagle spread wings with a shield, stars and crossed pistols underneath. I think there is some writing under the crossed pistols that...

Yep it is nothing but clad but boy oh boy I am happy, why you ask? Well it was my first hunt in 6 weeks and first since my hip replacement. My walking has gotten much better in the last few days and I was moping around the house reading all the great posts and watching the videos of all the...

I just wanted to say thank you to all those who have given me such kind words of encouragement and have bestowed their prayer upon me. I have so far done well, suprised the re-hab people a bit...but it does come at a price I will not hide that from you. All in all it is marvelous what they can...

Here is a short video of last few hunts before I go into surgery Wed Feb 15th for a hip replacement. Clips are of finding silver quarter and old token and a view of winter coming into the Ohio Valley. Also pictured is a lightning rod insulator it looks as if it went through a fire...or pehaps...

A Winter View As I look out the window I see snow a falling And in the corner my E-Trac is a calling “Not now my trusty friend” “ We must wait till the snow will end” The targets are there they will wait Until the snowy weather does abate Then once again we search the fields Recovering all the...

Does anyone know any trick to hunting a yard that has one of those Invisble Dog Fences I have tried noise cancelling, switching channels lowering sensitivity etc. I find you get constant squeals and blips. I am at a loss to know what to do. I am using an E-Trac.

Got out the last couple of days enjoying the warm weather. Spent most of yesterday in hospital doing pre-admission testing so we only had a short time to hunt, I did get three wheats and had a deep nickel signal, 6+ and was thinking a Buffalo but it turned out to be a 1952 Jeff. Today we went...

Here is a slide show of our favorite finds for 2011, Diane had a super first year of detecting and I was pleased with my results as well. Hunting With Bell-Two #84 Best Finds 2011

I remember seeing a posting about Minelab giving free checkup on your detectors as long as they are still in warranty has anyone done that? I am thinking since I will be on the shelf for a couple of months after surgery it might be an opportune time to take advantage of that.
