    Big Barber Quarter and V nickel pocket spill

    Well the fields that I hoped had been cut hadn't been, so I had to go to another field that has not produced before. I wandered the field back and forth and back and forth till I was almost at the other end of it, when the detector screamed out with a couple high pitch tones across one...

    A display of my finds at the city library

    One of the great things about being employed by a library is the amount of historical research material I have readily available at any time. But it also gives me the chance to get my display into one of the libraries of a neighboring historic city. This is my first attempt at something like...

    Lunchtime 1859 Indian Head... To clean or not to clean

    Wasn't expecting this.. Rang up as 12 22. This was found at an estate along the Hudson River that I have been detecting for a couple years. You can see it has some detail as is. Not sure what is left under the flaking material [attachment 292436 1859.JPG]

    There was five guys in a field wandering around on crutches!

    That's what a friend of my father thought he was seeing the other day until he stopped and looked closer. It took him a moment to realize that the crutches where actually metal detectors. Now I just have to figure out who these guys were practically in my backyard! :ranting:

    1803 large lying on the surface, a Connecticut copper, and buttons

    I usually stay hidden in the deep dark recesses of CTX-3030 forum, but thought this one was worth sharing with a larger audience. HH I got up early this morning and went out to the 1793 field. It was a fun morning! I've only found one other large cent on the surface and finding a state copper...

    I got up early this morning and went out to the 1793 field. It was a fun morning! I've only found one other large cent on the surface and finding a state copper is always nice. [attachment 291468 20140525_071422_20140525_072503.jpg] Here is a video of finding the coin on the surface 1803...

    Detecting with father and son

    My father and I spent the morning working on my truck replacing the brakes and a wheel hub. For my test drive afterwards, I took my father and son to where I found the 1793 coin and where I was earlier today and found the buttons. My father wanted me to try detecting for a couple minutes, why my...

    Almost skunked but he didn't leave before giving me his two cents

    Feeling a bit bummed that I detected hard for most of the morning and all I found was a skunk detecting for bugs in the same field I was detecting for coins..... He was there as long as I was which was a couple hours and I believe he was doing a lot better than I was.... In the end I detected...

    An antique gem, large cents, and more...A great couple hours detecting with CTTodd

    Todd and I made it back to the homesites that we were at the other day where I found the 1776 1/2 reale and Todd cleaned up with five coppers. Tonight it was windy as heck at the top of the field and I almost decided to go down to the bottom of the field somewhere near Todd since I was fighting...

    The shock, the horror

    Somehow my wife knocked over onto the concrete floor almost all my shadow boxes of coins and relics. All organization is lost as I had it sorted by sites I have detected. I haven't brought my self to the point I can go down and look at the damage any closer.. So very sad.... It's almost like in...

    Two stinkin barbers, 2 spoons, one token with a five on it and 1 silver Washington

    I was out at one of the 1700s farm today. This farm has given up all sorts of great things in the past like a militia belt plate, New Jersey and Connecticut Coppers, a 1700s Irish coin, and a lot more. Today all it wanted to give up was two barber dimes, a token with a five on it, a 64...
