    I think time to make a switch back

    I think I've had about enough of face book. I really don't care for the format. A few years ago the detecting world just kind of migrated over to FB. It had a couple of advantages like ease of posting in general as well as pictures with ease and videos But I am going to try to focus on regular...

    The Trick is to find something Great But not too Great.

    I was informed this week that my Gold Posey ring find from last September in Colchester has been declared Treasure Trove and I won't be getting it back. Two museums are going to bid on it. The land owner gets half the money and I get the other half. Damn it. I wanted to give that ring to my...

    A couple of finds from Sept UK

    I had an excellent hunt in Colchester this past September and scored my first gold coin 1672 Charles 1/2 guinea and a Gold and enamel posey ring from about 1650. the inscription reads " I am But a Token" and it's a corker of a ring. I did well with other "normal" finds as well but these were the...

    An Exceptional Coin

    I hit this coin two weeks ago at my GW/USA site right on the lip of the cellar hole. It's the third 94 that I have But it's in far better shape than the others. Get out there.

    Hit a big ole Spanish

    Got out on an invite over the weekend to a spot where my host had found over 12 coppers in two days hunting. I mucked around with some trash and buttons but didn’t score until the end of the day with a super deep iffy signal that I went after because of the site I was on. At over 12” with the...

    A fine day to detect

    Three of us got back to the same cellar as Gary and I were at last weekend. We did well again and all had some nice finds. My favorites for the day were a set and a half of colonial cuff links a KGII and a lot of colonial buttons. Gary did well with another GW and we brought another friend Eric...

    Out on a gorgeous day to be alive

    Got out with a couple friends today to multiple sites that all gave a little. I hunted the Deus and the Equinox just because. No other reason. Tons of buttons, shoe buckle frag, sleigh bell, Smoothie KGII, suspender parts and a gold ring that I think is 1700s early 1800s from the font and high...

    Got the monkey off my shoulder early

    I always figure that I will hit at least one Reale each year. Last year I didn’t get it done until December. It was a close call. This year I’m way ahead of schedule with this 1 Reale. It’s the nicest shape Reale I’ve ever been lucky enough to fine. Very pleased to have it. Get out there.

    A few keepers today

    I got out to a field today that I've been detecting for a week. We call it the button field for good reason as we always dig lots of buttons there. Today was no exception as I dug about 6 buttons and a LC while there for two hours. One button today was special Dan says 1820 or earlier. I like it...

    My button made the book

    I'm Published it's official. Back in 2008 I found a steamship company button at a cellar hole dig. I was contacted by a family member from the company and they provided proof of who they were so I donated my button for them to have. Now it's in a nice book that just came out about steamships...

    Hell of a week of finds

    On thursday I got out to a fresh cut hay field and was hunting with my CTX and hit a target I've wanted for a long time but realistically never thought I would get. I hit a Native American Kettle Point. I hit it at about 8-10" and it was a very tough target to hear and dig. If I hadn't been on a...

    Terrific Day in a Hay field

    I got out to a hay field this weekend to do a little testing with a new coil and what a surprise I got. The field is level and has a stream for one boarder and is what I would call a natural camp site. I was marking targets with flags and then testing the new XP Deus Elliptical against my...
