    Back from WI.

    Well i'm back from my Wisconsin hunting trip. Got to go swinging with dad at lake Michigan where the water is down like 15 feet. We found a ton of Little Cleo fishing lures. Like 40 some. Then went to an old field that was a ball field in the mid 20's till the 1950's. I found my first silver...

    Well, two kinds of hunting if you know what I mean. Traveling up to Wisconsin for the deer hunting season and to do a little coin hunting. Taking my MXT Pro with me and might have to stop at a few parks on the way up from Texas. Dad took his out on the banks of Lake Michigan and found some nice...

    Hard ground and hard times

    Here in San Antonio we have had rain but not much. I own a 300 acre ranch and that old ground is getting hard again to hunt stuff. Plus a tragic event in the family last month so I am heading out one more time to check some local parks. Had to load all my metal detecting items on CL this morning...

    Musket ball find

    Have not had much time to swing lately. So I went out to my ranch here in south Texas. I have 205 acres and since it rained here the other day the ground is much softer. So I headed out to an old field by a creek on the south end of my ranch. I put the MXT PRO on relic and started swinging...

    Permits?

    What a crock! I have been to these parks dozens of times. Went to one of the city parks this morning, did about 2-3 minutes of swinging around the jungle gyms. This park ranger pulls up and asks me if I have a permit to metal dectect? Say what? I repond. He says yeh the city now requires a...

Most around tables where spectators watch. Found some keys, a diamond studded earring and a couple of matchbox cars some kid lost, a Tiffany...

    HARD ground is a workout.

    Pray for rain for us Texans. We have had only 5.3 inches since October of 2010. So I'm using a jackhammer to dig up my VDI's. The ground is hard and the probes bend! Happy swinging...

    Silver has dropped

    Went into CD Clark today to get a estimate on silver and it dropped. Had 6 silver rings and estimate was only 7.25 for all...ahhhhhh. NO! I walked out. Keep saving the silver, it will go back up. Oil too dropped from 114.00 a barrel to 108.00. Good for drivers, bad for us oil people who drill...

    Found a John Tyler dollar coin

    Went to a volley court with 9 courts in it. Found a buttload of quarters and a coin I never seen. A 2009 John Tyler gold color coin, a smiggin bigger than a quarter. Neat! Never seen one before. Rubbed a little Ajax on it and it shined right up. Just as a hint, I live in a big city. I thought...

    Dimes, dimes and schools

    Just thought i would tell me story for the day. Schools are a real nice place to find change. Middle schools or Jr. high what some folk call them. I went last Saturday when school was closed. Took my MXT Pro to the front of the school where busses and cars pick up the kids. That small grassy...
