Saturday was a debate on detecting as there was a convention to hit from 10-3. It was also grey and possibly rain. I went to the convention, but there were many tables which I didn't think were related to the theme, so I didn't stay too long. I headed up to a new spot that I wanted to check...

Saturday I continued the streak of having to get up around 6a. :girlcry: Well, it was for detecting and not work. ;) The guy who facilitated last year's penguin hunt wanted to set something up. Well, it turned out to be 7 ppl. It ended up being a place I knew about that was 'pounded' to my...

Last time I posted, I said I was better. Well, I was wrong. Things got worse and I been down for quite a while. Good thing the last few things I found were the two reales and the trime. Sorry for my absence from the forum. I did check the feed from time to time to see all the great finds, but...

Since I dug that 2R, I haven't had it in me to get out. I'm still only ~75-80% better but I think the exercise is a key component to recovery. Sunday I tried to get out to a spot, but it was nothing more than an aesthetic hike. If I had found more, I'd prob have taken more pics. You couldn't...

The start of the day was pretty bad. This was a research fail. It had all the signs and even looked like a depression with some stones, but some of it was bedrock and the whole site had very little iron. It also pissed me off with how hard it was to hike through all the past logging. They left...

Somehow it took a bit more effort to break double digits with coppers in the past 4 weeks. Maybe somewhere I had someone who was jelly and was the opposite of a well-wisher. Well, I still persevered. Oddly enough, it is my second counter stamped coin and also consecutive. Copper #9 was also...

Apparently my coil is becoming a hoover for coppers. The weekend after the spill was the DB, and the following weekend was a matron. Last night was another copper. I went to a busy spot that I knew once had an house on it. I got lucky the assessor still had a build date for the house, even...

Finally I found some time to make it back on the forum. I haven't even perused threads offline, so I missed a lot. But I haven't been missing much in the ground. Here is a compilation of things and pic overload. In April I did get out to a spot I tried to trek to in the snow. As we were...

Wednesday I attempted to partake in the White's Easter promotion and went looking for one of the eggs after work. Well, someone was inconsiderate and didn't let it be known that it was found and people wasted their gas going. I at least knew of a spot not near there I could hit just in case...

Saturday was all rain so I took the time to do some errands and get a few things done. What came Sunday was some nice weather to be out. One of the times the past summer I went to a spot where an old mill was, to give it a try. What I didn't realize, that if I had followed the old cart path...

I figured by this past Saturday the snow should be at least somewhat manageable, but alas, I was wrong. I started off going west of the river to a spot I had planned out. It was a big hike in and of course it had to include up hill and down hill multiple times the way in and the way out. I found...

The snow from Eugene has once again put a damper on detecting for a while. I (we) just can't win here in NE. A few weeks ago I was able to try the MX sport for a little while. It was extremely windy here and I didn't think the finds were worthy of it's own thread. The story was better...

With the snow that finally broke the streak of detecting, there was some down time. Since I didn't wanna sit around I got some displays going. I had the 'coin' display and the buckle display before, but I changed them very slightly with the addition of the other displays. I did pull that recent...

This weekend I didn't get to every site that I wanted to, but I still managed a few keepers from the sites I did hit. I made it to a real small site, but somehow it had two cellars and a separate chimney. Someone had been there the day before hiking through. It almost looked like they dug one...

The weather still seems to be surprising this year. The ground has been of and on frozen, but it has allowed for some detecting to still continue. I thought things were bleak with the last snow that dumped 6", but the blanket didn't last long. The first hunt of the year I was met up with Kev at...

Hope all had some good time off. I did work some OT and got some cash toward a new shovel. I got out for about an hour on Xmas and hunted a site way in the woods. Another place they seem to be logging this year. The actual cellar was hidden as there was something built right next to it, but I...

The NE weather has really been affecting things. Last weekend was snow that was melting the next day. The weekend before was frigid, yet I still managed an outing. The next to last outing I got out to a spot that I would think is a sift-worthy. Very active for it's lifetime and this time I was...

I posted this here as the star of the hunt was the big bell. This was the hunt that I was too busy to take pics for and ended up taking items to the club meeting for show and FOTM voting. Well, now all the items are not present and I have to find them to take pics. However I was able to get the...

Saturday was a beautiful day to get out. Mark, Robert, and I planned to hit a few cellars. They had three spots planned out, but there ended up being four cellars total. I had the final cellar planned. We hiked in for a ways to find that some of the trail and a few spots had been chewed up by...

Friday I skipped out of work a tad early for a nice sushi lunch and then a hunt at a permission. The owner is a coworker of the gf. The house was built 1880 and is definitely near an old area. The owner kept saying that the driveway was an old carriage road (must be before the 1868 map was...
