I haven't been digging much the past year. I did get out with my buddies, Del and Ron, about a month ago and should have posted this sooner. It's not every day when you dig BIG SILVER! :shocked05:We weren't finding much that day, except for Ron, but we don't like him anyway. :lol::rofl: I had...

I ran into some guys metal detecting a field about five minutes from my house. My powers of persuasion garnered me an invite to join them. I haven't been out much this summer. Work is getting in my way. However, I have been out enough to figure out that my tried and true custom Pitch Programs...

Can't wait to try this baby out. I also have the full size headphones inbound.

It's confirmed. The coin was peer reviewed in hand at the Whitman Baltimore Coin Show today. I found a unique and hitherto unknown die marriage of a Connecticut State Copper. I found a Miller 33.42-T.2. The 33.42 obverse is extremely rare in its own right but only known to exist with a Z.2...

I normally don't detect much in the summer; however, I secured a permission at a standing colonial era home that is now abandoned. It had been occupied for approximately 270 years so there are layers of colonial era relics, 1800's and 1900's coins and relics, and an unending amount of pulltabs...

Hey everyone! I finally made it! This is my 1,000th post on AD. What did I win? Lol! In all seriousness there is so much knowledge on this forum, it's unbelievable. I rarely post on the "other" forums. It's been a real pleasure to read your posts and share my finds with you the past several...

Got out with Rick Yingling this past Sunday. We hit the site that has been producing early 1800's military buttons and Del's cannonball. :envious: I decided to concentrate on the spot where we had found buttons. Within a few minutes I had found an 1813 - 1814 1st Regiment foliated script A...

I went solo this weekend for a few hours. I thought all of my buddies were on a road trip farther North and I had to get out. I wrestled with going out up until the last minute loading up the truck. I'm glad I did. I found six buttons including a Cuff Sized 1814 - 1821 Eagle and Cannon Artillery...

Hi everyone, I haven't posted my last few hunts with The Deus Dudes and we have all had some great finds in the past month. In late December I found a button that I have been wanting badly for years. It's an 1814 - 1821 Eagle and Cannon one piece Artillery button.:loveit::loveit::loveit: That...

Got out with Del and the Yingling brothers, Rick and Ron, yesterday. It was a beautiful Sunday in the woods of New England. I was very nervous towards the end of the day because I hadn't made that one good find and time was running out. I decided to hit what we call "The Paddock" in a last ditch...

Hi everyone. I got out with with HeavyMetalNut and Del on Sunday to hit some cellar holes in the woods. There were early military buttons found at the sites several years ago and so I was excited to have the opportunity to hunt these cellar holes. :daydream: We had a great time, as always, and...

A few weeks ago I posted my very first Continental Army USA button. We went back to the property and lightening struck for the second time. The first one I found a few weeks ago was a Large Size USA button in great condition. The second one is a Small Size variety. The second one was found...

I received an invite from Grant Hansen to hit the standing colonial home site where I found my USA button two weeks ago. This was our third hunt at the property. It's a standing home in New Jersey about 15 minutes from my home and the finds can date from the early 1700's to yesterday. You can...

Hi everyone! I haven't been out detecting in over a month until today. It's summer break time for us. I have been itching to get out and dig some holes. I got an invite from a good friend to hunt a standing colonial home permission today for a few hours. I was running 14khz and Reactivity 5...

Hit some colonial cellar holes with my friend, Ron, yesterday. It was a struggle for most of the day as three of our planned sites were choked off with vegetation. :girlcry: We switched over to an improvised back-up plan and hit three sites that we had been to previously. These back-up sites...

This past Saturday, Danny, Ron and I revisited the small cabin site where Danny dug the 62nd British Regiment of Foot Button two weeks ago. We had high hopes as we marched to the site on the snowy trail! Snow in May! All three of us are swinging Deus machines now and we got to work to see if...

Got out Saturday with Danny and Ron for some colonial cellar hole digging. It was a beautiful day for digging and I was quickly shedding clothes as the temps warmed up. Danny and Ron were both sporting brand new machines and each made a great find. Danny got the find of the day with his Rev War...

Got out Danny on Sunday to hit some cellar holes. It was a great day for digging in March. I love the weather we have been having this year. The day started slow for me and I only made a couple of finds before our lunch break including this possible International Order of Odd Fellows silver...

Found about 16 years and 1000 miles apart! I found the New York State Seal Staff Officer's Button in Connecticut on Sunday. I found the New York Militia Staff Officer's Button in Chickamauga, GA about 16 years ago.

The walls have eyes! Last Sunday, I stayed with my "new" Modus Operandi for metal detecting. I had been staying around the cellar holes and not roaming around. I had noted for several years that Del seems to love to roam around sites. I know he's looking for hot spots and he always comes back...
