    Hey fellow diggers, Minelab is running a contest where you submit a video telling why you love metal detecting. Those of you that know me, or have watched my videos, know that I'm in a wheelchair. My purpose in posting a video was to let people know that no obstacle is too big to overcome...

    A few firsts over the last couple of weeks

    I've hunted a yard in my hometown a few hours here and there over the last few weeks, and there haven't been a lot of finds, but I have gotten a few firsts. The first one was a cool pressed steel truck I found the first day there, in the front yard. I gave it to the homeowner to show her son...

    been slow this summer, but finally a first

    I've had quite a few short hunts throughout the summer, but the keepers have been pretty slim, and nothing all that exciting. I went out last Friday (yeah, Friday the 13th) to a farmstead just north of my house, but I wasn't holding my breath for anything exciting. I've found several Wheat...

    I've told a few of you about my mower

    I finally had a few minutes to slap a short video together. I know most of you are probably annoyed when mowing cuts into metal detecting time, but I think I am as excited about mowing as I am about MD'ing. This is just a little more independence, and it is something I've been looking forward...

    I haven't posted a video in awhile, and here's why...

    Actually, there are a couple of reasons. We have had a lot of rain and bad weather her in Kansas, and that has been keeping me in some. But I've also been very busy with yard work this spring. Last fall I started digging a hole for a flag pole, but I ran out of time. We got back to it a...

    request for a little help

    I just posted, over on the E-Trac forum, a video and a few pics of a 1914-D Wheat penny I found some time ago. I'd appreciate it if you guys could check it out and give me your expert advice. Thanks in advance. My key date Wheat penny post on the E-Trac forum

    Lucky key date find (or, Man, am I a noob, or what?)

    I was reading a forum post tonight, and I saw someone post a comment about only cleaning the dates off on their Wheat pennies to see if they are 1909 VDB or 1914-D. I keep all of my older Wheat penny finds, and I thought I might have a 1914 amongst them. I pulled them out, and much to my...

    A short hunt at a new yard nets two great keepers

    I was on my way to a house in my home town last weekend, and I happened to spy part of an old limestone sidewalk. The yard isn't in very good shape, so I called the owner Tuesday afternoon and asked for permission to hunt. I only had about two hours, so I started out next to the old sidewalk...

    another trip to the same yard yields some keepers

    Got back out on Saturday and landed two more silvers and a couple of Wheats. Enjoy, and happy hunting. http://youtu.be/ZnK0mNU_Z5M

    a few assorted clips from short hunts

    This video starts with a few short hunts I had earlier this year, on those few ocassions when we had 50 or 60 degree days. The last clip is a live dig from the yard I've been working. Hopefully I'll have something worth filming this weekend. Saturday is supposed to be in the low 70s and...

    finds from my 2nd weekend at the same house

    Here is a video of my 2nd weekend at that same house. I actually hit it Saturday and Sunday, but Saturday only yielded two coins so I decided to put the clips together. Oh yeah, my camcorder was dead on Saturday, so I had to video using my phone. This video includes my first attempt at a live...

    my first attempt at a metal detecting video

    Here is my first attempt at a metal detecting video. These were my finds I posted a week or so ago, all from the first day I hunted this yard. Please give me any feedback or suggestions on lighting, sound, macro/close-ups, etc. I think I have this so there are no ads, but please let me know...

    getting random false signals

    I noticed last weekend that when I'd pinpoint a target and then lay my E-Trac off to the side, sometimes it would start registering a signal and bounce back and forth between a couple of different readings. I first thought I must have laid it directly over another target, but I moved the coil...

    finds from an old yard I've been hunting

    I started hunting the yard of an old house in NE Kansas a couple of weeks ago. You can tell by the wood work and the old in-ground swimming pool that this house was owned by someone very wealthy. My first day hunting there was March 31. I ended up pulling 4 Wheat cents, a 1906 Indian head...

    heading to south central Missouri this weekend

    We are headed down to south central Missouri (30 miles south of West Plains) this weekend to visit family. I had a tip on some private land that may have had troops camped there during the Civil War, but that fell through. Does anyone have a good Civil War campsites map or source for info for...
