Hi all. Kevin here. It’s been quite a while since I have relic detected, and I am itching to get back into it. About 10 months ago I made the move from CT to Little River South Carolina. I’ve been doing some beach detecting (I’m only a few miles from the North Myrtle Beach area beaches and...

Hey all. I thought I would give water detecting a shot this year. I just picked up the White's Surfmaster PI Dual Field from a local dealer. I have a sand scoop that I bought (very cheaply) from Thiltzy (Todd) a few years back. It is of the smaller variety and I think may be too difficult to...

I had a permission to hunt an 1890 house in Mystic. Had to work today till 1:00, so today was the day to hunt since work is 15 minutes from Mystic. Had only one good find on the day. The homeowner really liked it, so I let her keep it. Anybody have any idea what this might be? I'm guessing a...

A few weeks ago I got the go ahead to detect a house right around the corner from me. I hunted a couple weeks ago and then again today for a few hours. the first day out yielded me an engraved spoon (aluminum) and my first bell. Today, I focused on the same area of those finds and it payed off...

Managed a 1/2 day hunt today at a cellar hole I've been to a couple times prior. Pulled the usual bullet casings, shot gun shells, misc. iron etc. Found 2 keeper buttons, one with some gold gilt. I'm not quite sure what the other item I found is- some sort of belt plate, but maybe too small to...

Had a great time at the Diggin in New England event a couple days ago. Amazing how many detectorists showed up (I think a little over 130). Very well organized. Well I didn't find a lot, but I did manage to be lucky enough to put my coil over the right spot :detecting: and pulled my oldest...

I found this coin on my last hunt of 2014 in a cornfield that Aloldstuff had a permission. I had posted it previously in the relic forum in late December. It was a really toasted coin that I could only ID the counterstamp. It reads R-BEEBE. I tried to clean it using the peroxide treatment...

First off, a big thanks to Al for the invite today. Got the pm and call from Al shortly before 9am this morning. I told him I would get my gear together and head in his direction. When I started loading my truck, I realized my digging shovel was in my wife's car- she was at work, 15 minutes...

I'm on vacation 12/25-1/6. If anyone is up for a hunt anytime after the 28th, let me know. Willing to travel to get in some hunting - been far too long. Hoping the weather holds out. Reply here or pm if interested. Thanks.

The last 2 months have not afforded me much time to detect. Finally was able to get out yesterday at a permission in Mansfield, MA near my sisters house. I had received permission from an old high school friend who is a builder. He purchased an 8 acre property with a barely standing house...

I couldn't convince my daughter to go detecting today, but she agreed to hit a local flea market with me. The first deal of the day was for a BUNCH of old bottles. This was the last day that this particular vendor was setting up at this flea market. I was checking out some old bottles and...

It's been quite a while since I have had the opportunity to :detecting: . Heading out tomorrow somewhere? Maybe to the farmhouse in Scotland or the cellar hole in Portland where I found the CW era Eagle breast plate? Anyone interested in heading out to one of those spots or any others? If...

I'm back from a mini family vacation to PA & am looking to get out and :detecting:for a day or two. I am available tomorrow, Friday or Saturday. Anyone available? Post here or shoot me a pm if interested. I'm more than willing to drive a bit if necessary.

Family plans forced me to a very short hunt again today. Got out for a little under two hours early this morning. I hit the same area Lou (Twobit), Jim Mangoave) & I hit last Saturday. Had mostly junk iron target readings. I dug an oxshoe, a hoe, a bunch of nails, bullets and finally dug a...

Up & out of the house at 5am this morning for a few hours hunt before the family even woke up. Researched the site of a cellar hole 20 minutes from my house. This site seemed to be hunted pretty good prior, but as I've heard others say, "a pounded site is never completely hunted out". I had no...

I had 1/2 a day in the morning to myself today, so I decided to hit an area that I've been wanting to check out. No cellar holes found as I had hoped. As I was making my way down towards a small river, I was randomly swinging the coil on an existing trail (State land with some trails). I was...

Had a vacation day planned for today. Originally I wanted to hunt a cellar hole or two, but rain in the forecast deterred my plans. I wanted to be close to my vehicle should the skies open up with some heavy rain as predicted. I checked out the radar in the morning and it looked like the...

Got the day off this Friday 6/13. Hoping the weather cooperates. :crossfingers: Anyone available for a hunt? I have open permission to hunt an old property in Scotland, CT or I am also open to hitting other areas if anyone has any thoughts. I'm open to traveling a bit if necessary. Reply to...

I've been working on getting permission to hunt an 1850 house for a little while now. Finally got the go ahead & hit it today. No coins, other than modern Lincoln's and Jefferson nickels. Dug a bunch of trash & a few keepers (keepers for me anyways). There seemed to be a lot of fill at this...

I have open permission to hunt an old 153 acre farm (1775 home still on site). I hit it yesterday and didn't get too much in the line of keepers. I hunted mostly right around the house. Hoping the many fields will be more productive on future hunts. I found this lead item about 9" deep at the...
