Decided to go back to the field I was at yesterday. Glad I did. Started off real slow, and I mean slowwwwww. First signal is what I think a piece of a shoe buckle frame and I say that only because of the hole where the pin would have gone. Next was a nice button, shank intact. I am really...

Today I went back to the field where last year I got that really nice CT copper, seated and a 1/2 reale. This field did not disappoint this time around either. First signal of the day, a very nice sounding 84-85 VDI. Of course everybody knows what it turned out to be....an ox knob. Boy do they...

On my way to work one day last week I noticed that in one of my favorite fields the corn had been cut...:yahoo: Today I went there and got a few keepers. The IH is 1889 with a nice green patina. The LC has no date or lettering that I can see. What I can see is the head which I am thinking is a...

Got this a couple of weeks ago and I finally got around to cleaning it up(as best could). I am assuming some sort of musicians button but I have no idea of the age. Photos are of the front, back and one to show thickness.

Got out for about two hours today. Right after this post I'm off to work for a delivery, isn't life grand :lol: Went to the house where I had previously gotten an early militia eagle hat plate. Well nothing that good this time but I did manage some keepers. The silvers are a 1935 Washington...

So I get a call from Robert. He is fed up with work so he's leaving and wants to go detecting. WooHoo, you betcha. He arrives at my house and we decided to go to a park that I had noticed a field getting mowed last week. We arrive and not 2 minutes into the hunt I get the sterling ring. got...

Well its been quite a while since I've posted or been on the forum. Went back to my favorite park today and got me some goodies. Got 2 silvers, a 1898 Barber and a 1961D rosie. Managed 5 wheats with the earliest being 1918.(2 no daters) Got my earliest Jefferson, a 1938. (Think that's as old...

Had to ship the old trusty V3i off to Sweet Home for a new toggle switch. Seems that after 7 years of pretty good use those switches just give out. In the past White's customer service has been excellent so I am expecting the same treatment. :cheesysmile:

Seeing that most of my fields that I hunt have now been planted I went to a park today. This is the park that Rob and myself have repeatedly hit and have gotten many, many silvers out of. Today I ran the V3i in the Hi-Pro single freq 2.5 and got some keepers. The 2 mercs are dated 1917 and...

I got to do my bosses house this pm. Its a 1902 in the city. Very small yard, front yard had two 5'x7' areas and back yard was maybe 20'x40'. Started in the front and got a 1911 wheat and a nice 1924 buffalo. Probably the nicest buffalo I have dug. Told ya, short and sweet.... Another coin...

My friend also owns two other properties in this town so I decided to detect those also. 1st house - 1 wheat - 1955 and clad 2nd house - 3 wheats - 1934,1938,1944 and clad, musket ball Now this third house is where I have been twice before and gotten 11 IH's, Barber dime, merc, buff. Was...

Went out this morning to the field where I had found the really nice CT copper. Went in Hi-Pro 2.5 freq. Found the musket ball first then a bunch of junk. I got a nice VDI of 78-81 and out popped this draped bust. Don't think I'll get a date but there is enough of the bust to ID the coin. Gave...

Went to the Digging In New England (D.I.N.E.) hunt which was in West Kingston RI. The hunt went from 8am to about 4pm. It was a great time and got to finally meet some members face to face. A huge turnout with people from New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire that I know of. A big farm and we...

Went back to the 1900 house that last week I managed 6 IH's and 2 silvers from. I was pretty sure that I had picked that front yard clean......boy was I wrong. Right near the front door I get this 66 VDI (now where did this come from) proceeded to dig and what's in the hole another IH. Well how...

To start with the 1910 wheat was found on another hunt at a park Today I went to a house that a friend had purchased to flip, a 1900 colonial. First item was a memorial cent :girlcry:. Oh no not one of these hunts where the expectations are high but .......that was not the case. Next up was a...

Had to go into work for a little in the PM so I decided to hit up the field that RobW, KPMoose, Lee and TrooperBri have been to. Decided to do a little experiment with the V3i. Ran in Hi-pro single frequency, 2.5. The first good find would be the very toasted copper which I think is a...

Went over to a field that I have been hunting and managed some keepers. Lots of junk (nails), on ox shoe, and the following buttons. The back mark on the little one says Double Gilt. The last good find was unexpected to say the least. Had a good VDI of 80-81, dug the plug and saw the silver...

Lee came up to MA today and we hit up a farm here that in the past has been pretty good to everybody,until today. Sorry to say, no coppers, no IH's, but I did get a wheat(1953)...:lol:. My best find would be the boot heel plate, think I have 5 now. The other smaller item I thought was a tombac...

Got out with RobW today. The ground was tough to get into at first but as the day progressed it became softer. Rob killed it in the old coin dept while I was the bug on the windshield. Don't know if he'll post so I'll give a review. To start with he gets a wheat, then a 1860 IH, then a flat...

Not having the usual amount of hunts as in previous years these choices were simple. Number 1 best find for me is the 1787 Ct copper(its a Miller 33.34-Z.11) and number 2 would be the MA militia button (dating from 1808 - 1823).
