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...

The two older gentlemen didn't find anything and are no doubt plotting my imminent demise. :lolsign: The younger guy (with the big smile) found a Classic Head Large Cent and a 1783 Half Reale so he's happy. It's a grassy field that I have passed by a million times as it's only five minutes...

I can't believe how stable that Deep High Conductor runs. It's so much more stable than the Deus 1 in Deep. I run my custom Five Tone Sensitive Program in really heavy iron. I use Negative Discrimination (-3.4) on 5 tone Fast, 5 tone Deep HC, and 5 tone Sensitive among other tweaks. Here's a...

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...

I will share my favorite "lightly hit" cellar hole and it's all thanks to Del's "nose" for a site that doesn't look like a site. We hit a site in the morning that was probably hit many times in the past 40 years. There were very few finds made at that site. Del wanted to check out an "anomaly"...

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

I have only found one Nipple button and it was at the Pine Tree Shilling site. That makes perfect sense since Nipple buttons are securely dated by archaeologists to circa 1650 in Thames River deposits.

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...

Thanks! My Mom is so proud of me. I finally made it! :lolsign: I dug it on a hill that my friend, Ron, had found a couple of months ago. It's near a cellar hole but the finds on the hill are, for the most part, older than the finds at the cellar hole. Was it the original cabin? We haven't found...

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...

I'll play.

I can't believe it's been over two years but I found all of these at the same site in early June 2018. There were two others found at the site besides mine. All of them were the same variety - GWI 12B with 54 Edge Border Indentees.

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...
