Howdy Folks! I went hunting today, and managed about 5 hours in the field. While I didn't find gold today, I am not terribly disappointed with my hunt. Among other things, I found 3 rings, and 2 of them are silver (925). I also found a Wyoming National Guard challenge coin. You'll also note a...

Howdy Folks! After being sick with the flu for the first couple of weeks of 2013 (not the best start for the year, BTW), I finally got out toward the tail end of January despite the weather being funky. It wasn't terrible, but not very pleasant either. Anyhow, I visited two of my favorite...

Howdy Folks! Got in a short hunt recently. It hasn't been easy to do any detecting at all while trying to create my own business, and working as a fugitive recovery agent *and* a process server *and* holding down a day job. Very little time for detecting! Anyhow, I digress! It was all fine...

Howdy Folks! It has certainly been awhile since I've posted on this forum because I've been as busy as a one-legged man at a Riverdance audition. Between being a fugitive recovery agent, process server and holding down a day job in the bargain while building my own business, I haven't enjoyed...

Howdy Folks! I have been busier than Michael Flatley with a leotard full of fire ants! Between working a steady day job, working as a Fugitive Recovery Agent, and now expanding my very own business as a Process Server, I have precious little time for metal detecting. That being said, I have...

Howdy Folks! Long time no see! Been awhile since I done much in the way of metal detecting because I've been making radical changes in my life. So sit back, have a cup of coffee, and I'll fill you in. Got a call from Snickerdoodle yesterday wondering what had befallen the Colorado Gold...

Short Hunt Brings Silver and Gold! Howdy Folks! I had the day off yesterday, and should have spent a great deal of time hunting. That did not happen. The weather was overcast and cool, and the recent snow still covered too much ground. I went out an played around a little, but just...

<blockquote>Howdy Folks! Okay, so I ain't been around much lately. In fact, I ain't hardly been out hunting lately either. Between my knee still not being right since having surgery in January, returning to full time work and taking classes for Citizen's Academy with the Sheriff's Office, I've...

Howdy Folks! I am interested in hearing about any metal detecting incidents of encounters with Law Enforcement Officers (LEO's) and how you were treated. I've had several myself, and wonder how many others have had LEO encounters while metal detecting. Of the ones I've had, most were...

Howdy Folks! I needed a modification on one of my brand new birthday holsters, so cruised down to Highlands Ranch to get that done. After getting the adjustment I needed, I headed out to a nearby park. I figured I might as well do a little hunting in Highlands Ranch while being there and all...

Howdy Folks! My totals for the year are way down after that knee injury limited my hunting time. Add to that, I don't believe I've ever seen as much rain as we've had in June and July so far. Colorado is a semiarid state, but we've been building an ark because it just keeps coming! Anyhow, I...

Howdy Folks! It has been awhile since I did much hunting. Between the loss of our cat Pyewackett, training for concealed carry permits for our handguns, my wife having two surgical sessions to remove catarachs from her eyes, and a bunch of other stuff, I just ain't been swinging lately...

Howdy Folks! My people have a saying: An it harm none, do as you will. However, that notion of harm none also extends to myself and my loved ones. Anybody comes looking to do us harm is going to find out they've made a terrible decision. After my home was burglarized twice in another town...

Howdy Folks! We left on Friday for Hastings Nebraska after I ended up stuck at work all day and didn't get free to leave until after 8:00pm. I drove all night to reach Hastings by 5:00am, and we went to our room to catch a quick nap. By 7:00am, we were up again and headed to Dyer Park where the...

Howdy Folks! The wife and I will be leaving for Hastings Nebraska this evening after I get done at work. There is a competition hunt there that is first class, and I look forward to fetching home a whole bunch of silver and maybe even some gold. We attended that hunt last year and it was...

Howdy Folks! As you know, we just lost a terrific companion animal when our russian blue cat Pyewackett got really bad off and we had to put him down. I ain't gonna bemoan our loss here, but simply to explain that I ain't been hunting much of late. However, I did get in a few hunts that I...

Howdy Folks! I've lost quite a bit of motivation for metal detecting of late. Oh, I've done some hunting and made some good finds. I have all manner of cups and containers with coins and jewelry sitting on my desk and a nearby table, but just ain't had much enthusiasm for taking photos to show...

Howdy Folks! Here is a video, with some photos, taken at Sapulpa Oklahoma where we enjoyed the Indian Territory Treasure Hunter's Club annual open competition hunt. Day one was hot, above 90 degrees, and the humidity left me dripping wet all day long. Being from a semiarid state, it was...

Howdy Folks! Just a quickie note to let ya'll know that we'll be rising early to pack up the car for our trip to the Indian Territory competition metal detecting hunt in Sapulpa Oklahoma. Naturally, we'll be bringing Gator along. Can't leave home without our trusty Jack Russell. Anyhow, I...

Howdy Folks! With other errands to reign in, I didn't get much chance to hunt today, but did manage to hunt for about three hours. I found another 1958 wheat penny, a few kid type jewelry items, a silvery looking cross that is actually a cheapie, and the odd find of the day; a token good for...
