Last Saturday's hunt was an invite up into Massachusetts , I was lucky enough to find a 1785 Nova Constellatio and I'll see if anyone here knows what the other items are for extra credit ;). Dan

Earlier this month I had an opportunity to head down to South Carolina (Orangeburg area) with some friends for a long weekend of "treasure hunting" ;) . We attended the "Relicon" hunt that was organized by Axel Macon and Clyde "Kandi Chilson" on a 1000 acre piece of property with supposedly a...

I finally got out this past weekend with Ron Yingling and we were lucky the area we went only had about an inch at most of snow on the ground . we hiked a good ways over half frozen streams and through mountain laurel thickets to reach a remote area with a old cellar and barn . these two areas...

Happy New Year !!!! to everyone here on American Detectorist !

I recently sold off a couple of detectors , the DFX went to a nice gentleman in Colorado and the Deus was sold to a real good guy (Mark) that i've detected with more than a few times . This left me without a decent cellar hole hunting detector but a good friend Dave (HEAVYMETALNUT) was gracious...

I got a very well used Whites DFX that works perfectly , at least four coils that goes with it ( detect 10 x 12 butterfly , original concentric 10 " coil . the eclipse 9" x 6" and the small shooter 4"x6" coil ) , it has the heavy duty Herke arm cup and thesaurus cover over the control box ...

Got out with Donnie B , and Mr. Ron Yingling on Sunday . A good three plus mile hike along some very old abandon roads , i recorded about 4 to 5 old homesites and told the boys i had a good feeling about this adventure. Donnie did good but Ron had the hot coil and claimed a couple of old coppers...

besides collecting old medicine and bitters bottles i like early federal era artwork specifically eagles , one of my latest acquisitions is this old Inn sign

I haven't been out in weeks , work has been busy and I (literally) have been doing lots of mechanical work on my jeep . So it was extremely good to just get out and swing the coil again , just a half day hunt and it was unusually cold in the "constitution state" , we hiked out a good mile or...

More finds from the "Artillery sites" , these were a group early homesteads not terribly far from an American fort and from all the recent artillery , light artillery type buttons many must of been enlisted there. Five of us made the hike in and even though we were forced to leave a bit early...

Same hunt with Donnie B and HEAVYMETALNUT (Dave) great mild December day with good company , the Deus will sure smell out those smaller cuff sized buttons in mineralized ground. This particular spot where we found them have been detected but as many as a dozen other machines and there is some...
