    G. Washington #4

    I added another GW Inaug. button to the collection yesterday. This is an Eagle with Star, the most common of the Washington's. I was hunting a new field close to a new job. I knew what I had when I saw the dashed border, then with a little cleaning the scrawny eagle appeared. The button was bent...

    Looking for a White's Eagle Spectrum

    Must be in good condition. I don't mind a few scratches as long as it works good and has a few battery packs. Small coil a plus. Thanks, Ron

    Oops, I did it again

    I went back to the site I found the Washington Inaugural button a few weeks ago. Things are pretty slim pickings there, so I was happy to get a few tombac buttons. Then I dug a big flattie, thought...hmmm, that's about the size of a GW, flipped it over and nearly flipped when I saw the "GW" in...

    Lightning strikes twice

    Two years ago in December, I was hunting around a cellar hole and made the find of my lifetime. Never did I think I would do it again but last week I found another Washington Inaugural button, same type as before...Eagle with 8 pointed star. The second button was a little rough but there was...

    Anchors away

    Ii didn't have high hopes for this little field. It was brush-hogged, which means the grass and brush was mowed down and left there. My spirits lifted when I liberated this nice two-piece Navy button, most likely, Civil War. It was the only button I dug but I did set a record for oxen shoes (5)...

    Some cellar hole finds

    I went back to the cellar site where I got rained out the day before. It turned out to be a pretty good spot as I hit a flat button first, a gilded spoon, gilded button, what looks like a whizzer (the thing with the two holes) and a decent New Jersey copper. I had found NJ coppers in the past...

    Stock coil for the F70

    I bought a stock coil for the F70 to be used on my F75 and in testing it out for a week, it has done a pretty good job. I hunt a lot of spots in the woods and this coil can get in some tight spaces. The light weight makes the easy-to-swing 75 even easier. Pinpointing is a snap, targets are...

    Meeting house site

    I went to this site 3-4 years ago with a different machine and a lot less experience than I have now. This place is pretty neat, 1/2 mile up a hill in the middle of nowhere. There is a stone monument about 8 feet high erected in 1904 which reads, in part.....THE FIRST MEETING HOUSE WAS BUILT ON...

    Disc. @ 5

    I started running my machine in Disc. 5 yesterday just to try it. As some may know, this puts the machine in a High Gain mode and I had to throttle down the Sens. to 65-70 or it spazzed out. I was running it in 10-15 Disc. and 75-85 Sens before. The nice thing about the High Gain is it gives...

    Farm-fresh field finds

    I went on a few small hunts last night and today to some fields surrounding a farmhouse. Some of the fields were cut, but the good fields weren't. Still managed a few good finds as these sites were hit very hard over the years. For coins, I got a no date KG copper, 1936 Washington quarter, 1903...

    Small coil for F75

    I'm at the point where I'll keep my machine for a while and am looking into a small coil as I hunt a lot of cellar holes. I can't find very much on what's available....there's the 6x9(?) and I heard there is a smaller elliptical coil. I'm even thinking about the 10" stock F70 coil (for fields...

    Little broach

    I spotted a pine forest on a hike to find some cellar holes and it looked like a good place to hunt. Never did find any cellars but got this plated broach, my first piece of jewelry with the F-75. RonNH

    A few new ones from an old site

    The grass is too high to hunt in fields, so I went in the woods behind a field that has given up 3 reales, 3-4 LC and lots of buttons. I noticed barbed wire in the woods a few years back and I suspected the field was bigger. I started finding pewter buttons, always a good sign as these date to...

    Saving New England Volume 1

    I just got Bill Ladd's DVD in the mail yesterday and watched most of it last night. It's very well made and takes you on a journey to some cellar holes and other places out in the woods in New England. The video makes you feel like you are right there digging away and experiencing the thrill of...
