October 22, 2017 – Cornfield hunt produced a 1876 seated dime, Three IHPs (1869 and 2 no dates) and varies farm field finds. I thought I finally found my first cannon ball but it is made of lead. Not sure if this was a weight for something?

August 12, 2017 – This property has produced many musketballs and a few coins in the past. For the first time in many years we can detect the east side of the field. This hunt produced 4 musketballs and a toasted copper. Last week my cousin and I pulled out about a dozen balls and a couple of...

March 26 & April 15, 2017 - The Muck Field has been a favorite go to field for the last five years. Located close by to the Saratoga Battle Field it has produced Rev War relics and colonial coins. In the 1800's there must have been a homestead due to the amount of brick, pottery, nails and...

Saturday November 26 - I took my brother-in-law, who was visiting from out of town, to one of my older permissions that I hadn't been to in over a year. It was nice to see him dig his first colonial silver, a 1773 real. He also dug 3 colonial coppers, musketballs and buttons. I found a bunch...

September 18, 2016 – Field has been hunted for about 40 years according to the owner. This field is in the immediate vicinity of where the British army stopped overnight before the battles of Saratoga. It also appears that there was a post-colonial structure in this field. I worked hard in...

March 20, 2016 – A last second decision to change field locations turns out one of my best finds ever. I have permission for 60 acres of fields that have turned up a mix of Rev War through 19th century finds. It’s a place you can walk for 20 minutes and not get a signal but once you stumble...

January 3rd – Out at a new permission with my cousin. 110 acres with an abandoned 1830’s house, almost a half mile of frontage along the Hudson River. This place has potential for Rev War activity with its river frontage and high overlooks it is just finding the right spot. My only keeper for...

December 6, 2015 – A friend of mine bought a house that was in foreclosure to flip it so of course I asked if I could detect the lawn. The house was built in 1854, sits on a village street and still has its old barn in the backyard. I also vaguely remember many years ago as a kid my father...

I'm looking to add to my library of reference material. I know you can find almost anything on the web but most nights I'd rather sit with a book rather than the laptop. Brian
