    First gold ring of the year for me. Shucks, first hunt of the year!!

    My place was covered with snow. I had to get out of the house and thought about a snow hill I could MD. [attachment 150453 01-18-2010snowhill.jpg] I got some pocket change and this 44 mag. [attachment 150448 01-18-201044mag.jpg] A guy came up to me and wanted to know if I could find his...

    Study done on what was fired in a 8" columbiad.

    I was going through my pictures today. I took this picture while visiting Ft. Sumter in September. It is a 8" columbiad. [attachment 149105 9-12-09columblad.jpg] I was curious as to what was fired from these things. I couldn't see in the canon. I turned the flash on in my camera to get a...

    This question is for those who have a hearing problem.

    A life of construction work has taken it's toll. The doctor has told me I have lost half of my hearing. I am wondering is there a headphone that can help me find targets better. With hearing loss, I can't hear the higher tones. I have yet to get hearing aids. If I was to get them, do they work...

    Flat button and bell?

    We had a bomb threat at work. By law we had to clear the area and miss a days work. Bummer:rofl: So I went MD'ing a place across form my work place. I try to make the best of a bad situation.:rofl: It is a real trash pit. I mean real. It is an old junkyard. The porch area was the only place...

    I need help from you deep woods type detector-est.

    I have been an urban old house type detector-est. Some houses I have found over 40 wheat's and a lot of neat old stuff. When I lived in the city, I would go to the old part of town. Usually it was the slums. I'd MD them 6 AM when most of the trash would leave the streets. I also dressed to look...

    Week end hunt.

    I MD'ed two places. One was a demo-ed house and the other was the dirt from houses they demo-ed already. They used the top soil for the park and walk ways alone the new road being built in town. It is all a real mix with old and new. That is what you will see in these pictures. Here is the whole...

    So, how does the F-70 work on a salt water beach? I know.

    I asked the question. I know we have a lot of guys that have tried it out, but I didn't get any responses. I MD'ed four beaches this past week. I am no expert. This is what happened to me and how I dealt with it. The first place I tried it out was Saint Augustine Beach. I was there to see my...

    I bet you never MD'ed a place like this.

    I rarely get out to MD anymore, life is just too busy. This was just too tempting. Yesterday, as I pull out of the parking lot at work, they were demo-ing this old house that was over grown with brush. Today I had to go play in the loose dirt. Problem was I had a hard time getting my detector to...

    Typical WV. finds.

    I had a couple good hunts. I rarely get to MD working 6 - 10 hour days and I am always working on the house we bought 3 months ago. Yea, a fixer upper. One hunt was in a park and the other was at an old home site. I found a lot of old iron thingies. Square nails are a menus. [attachment 131192...

    These are the coordinates to my favorite MD'ing spot. Help yourself. There is too much for me to MD. I only have a few hours on Sunday to detect. They are demo-ing houses faster than I can MD them. It is about 20 city blocks long and 5 city blocks wide. They don't have all the houses demo-ed...

    I stopped at an old roadside park the other day ............

    and thought it would be a good place the find some silver. It was about an acre and had the old grills still there. They were small about two ft. high and there were 8 of them made of stone. The park is not used any more as it is a thing of the past. The road used to be the main road to town...

    I got out and MD'ed some demo-ed houses.

    Well I found some that wasn't demo-ed yet. I like to MD the ones that have stone foundations like this one. I dug 3 ceramic lid jars. No cache. [attachment 118132 2-16-09dem-edhouse.jpg] Ever dig down 4" and find a hole? I mean this thing went down. I put a 2x4 in it so no one would fall into...

    Confession is good for the soul.

    I heard that when you confess that you have a problem that is half way to being cured. I have got thinking about the obsession I have with metal detecting. When I am driving the car, I am always on the look out for new places to detect. Sometimes I will drive a different route just to find some...

    Spring is here!!!

    That is called positive confession. I work out doors every day. Two days ago it was 3 deg F. I like it and think it is refreshing. Today it got up to 58 deg. F. T-shirt weather. I went detecting. The second place I went to today, there were still kids sledding in the lot next to where I was...

    Snow hill hunt!

    I just had to get out. I thought I would detect coins in the white fluffy stuff. Wrong. All those coins were on the hard frozen ground with an additional 1" of ice on top of that. Besides that I think the kids were aiming for me. [attachment 116961 2-1-09snowhill.jpg] This place was a county...

    I bought a Garmin 750 and would like to know good place to buy accessories for it?

    It was under $200 at Sam's Club. I'm a little frugal. Is there a better(cheaper) place than Garmin. com to buy accessories? I'm am going to get a case for it and I am planing a trip to Europe. I would like to buy a map of Europe for it that cost less than the $150 Garmin is asking. I have an...

    Sure the snow was flying and it was 27 deg. F.

    but that was the only time I had to try out my new Lesche Ground Shark shovel. Besides the snow keeps the ground insulated. Man, can that shovel tear up some lawns. Of course the lawns at these demo-ed houses no one cared. I have had a few signals that I didn't know if I really wanted to dig...
