So, as I said in another post the other day, me and my dad went on a little Ohio trip for a day, and I did a bit of research to find some old parks and towns in general. I managed to find a town with a reaaaaallllly old park, the town was founded in the 1820s i beleive, and this town square was...

Hey there guys! I know I'm never really on the forum, but I'm thinking about getting on the forum a lot and being a lot more active, and I guess this is part of it! So, me and my dad were talking about going to Ohio this weekend, and i was looking all over the state for some nice towns, and one...

I found an 1863 church that had a school next to it on the 1870 maps. I checked Google earth and found the church, but the spot where the school was is now a grassy field. I went out with my dad on Saturday and after a little searching, we found the owner of the property. It obviously has been...

As the title says, the pictures i took may not be with the right lighting or from the right angles, but if you read my dad's latest post, you will see I found a flat copper, nothing on it. I am almost 100% sure it is a coin and not a slug, because i've seen my fair share of slugs, and I don't...

I dug this tonight at an 1870s house. I'm not sure what it is. Anyone have any ideas?

Indeed, it was a very fun day of hunting. Dave, it was a great pleasure to finally meet you in person, it was fun to detect with you. Tony I am glad you got back out, though it wasn't for long I'm glad I was able to detect with you again as well. Tim as well it was very fun detecting with you...

We went out today when my dad got home from work. I'm sure he'll post this again with our other finds, but I wanted to post it first. I dug my first Canadian Large Cent, a 1909. And it's in pretty good shape too!! Thanks for looking & HH

My best find this year has got to be the 1887 Seated Dime I dug this December . There are probably a few seconds, but i'm going to with the 1897 Barber Half that I dug in Wisconsin

I received the 2 coins last week. It was really cool to hold a 400 year old coin in my hand. Today, I received my AD hoodie. It looks great. I want to thank Tony for running the contest & Angie for supplying the prizes. I would also like to thank the entire AD Team for helping with the contest...

My dad and I hit a house in our home town this past Saturday morning. I was finding a few wheats, but after about a half an hour i got a good signal about 8" down. after digging almost 10" I pulled out a really cool Token / tag from the KERSTEN & SMILEY GRAIN & COAL CO. It shows the 3 road...

I went out for a bit this afternoon and found this, I think it's a ring, but I'm not sure. It's to small to fit on my dads pinky finger but the overall size is HUGE . My mom thinks it could be an old napkin ring. ANY IDEAS It is stamped NF 925 on the inside

This weekend me and my dad decided to try some towns we never been to before near our cottage in Wisconsin. The first town we went to, the park yielded 1 wheat and maybe $0.15 in clad. Across the street there was the village hall (Built in the 1850's), I decided to do the parkway, and got a...

Me and my dad went out again today for another hunt. I've been saying I wanted to find MY first merc. 20-30 min after we started ,I got a nice 12-44,45 about 6 inches, dug it up, saw that beautiful silver rim, got a nice 1916 merc, I also found a pretty cool token, and a bit of clad & 1 wheat...

Today me and my dad went out for quite a long time. We found a few old coins, so I am happy. When we got to the first park, within 3 minutes I got a 12-32 about 7 inches, when I got it out, it was an old pulltab, but then about 25 feet away I got a 12-32 01-31 09-30, and decided to dig it...

I am beginning to REALLY like that town that me and my dad have been going to. The last few days have produced a "first". Besides yesterday, we have gone there 4 days in a row, and each time produced something amazing. We were going to go to a park in this town to try it, but there were tons of...

Today, me and my dad went to that house that we have been posting about the last couple days. What is cool is the fact that the last two times we have gone there, we have gotten a first. Yesterday my dad posted about my Rosie, but today I got my first Indian Head. I figured at first it may be...

My dad and I had about an hour to kill after he got home from work. We hunted an old closed down motel on historic Lincoln Highway. Our first signal was a cool United States Marine Pin. It's not an official issued pin, but it's still pretty sweet. after that we found a key, a key chain, a...
