    A snowy field hunt nets a large cent

    I made it out this evening for the first time in my area this year. I visited the field that I found the 1793 Liberty Cap Cent last year. Since everyone has been posting videos, I figured I might as well follow along. So, if you are interested here is a link to it...

    My 1793 Liberty Cap Cent is in the April W & E Treasures

    It placed as one of the best finds of 2013. I wonder what this coming year will bring to the surface

    since I can't be swinging

    Unfortunately there's still a foot and a half or more of snow in most places so no detecting. This picture was from this morning while waiting for my daughters bus to come. [attachment 284919 rps20140224_082811.jpg] So, I have been working on setting up some shadow boxes for a display at one of...

    Google maps and problems beyond the help of skew

    So, what do you folks do when a map is not drawn to scale accurately across it's extents? Do you reposition the overlay as you go along, pinpointing your areas of interest?

    What was your favorite or best find of the year?

    Since there isnt much else to talk about right now. Most of you probably know about my 1793 Liberty Cap that I found, obviously that's the top of my list for favorite and best finds. But a close runner up would be that 3500 to 5000 year old copper adze or the rare 1840s New York Militia eagle...

    Passing by West Point

    on the way to Radio City today to see the Christmas Spectacular. Just rode by West Point on the Hudson River. As I am sitting on the train I am looking out at all these great places to detect along the river from my place all the way New York City. I cant imagine how many cannon balls George...

    Detecting with my daughter at the town beach

    Not one Cent.......Detecting in the foothills of the Catskills

    I made it out yesterday for about three hours back to Ulster county. It was a nice afternoon to be out in the woods. [attachment 278253 selfieofmountains.JPG] The Catskills may not look like much now, but you should have seen them a billion years ago..... Anyhow, I gridded off some areas of...

    1851 Goodyear buttons, spoons, and other artifacts from amongst the stones

    It was right around freezing yesterday morning when I went out detecting. This site is in Ulster county New York at the site of an old farm. The farm is long gone with the only remains being extensive stonework throughout the area. Some nice finds in the past at this location have kept be...

    My family gave me awesome metal detecting gear for my birthday yesterday

    I was born on Halloween night and my wife and kids surprised me with such a sight. A new Predator tool and metal detecting cap! I am such a lucky guy. [attachment 277492 rps20131101_075406_427.jpg]

    Hours of detecting for only one Carson City seated silver

    I guess I'll have to live with it. I'm just kidding as usual, of course I'm excited to find it. I wonder how it made it all the way from Carson City to a farm field in the Hudson Valley New York

    CTX'r and fellow forum member mentioned in article about assisting archaeologists

    Thought this was worth passing along. Angelika is a good friend of mine, forum member, and CTX user. Congrats to her for being part of this.. http://episcopalcemetery.blogspot.com/?m=0 Angelika did not dig any targets, but pinpointed and graphed them for the archaeologists to recover.

    One hole, four King George coppers

    It has been slow going for a couple of weeks due to sparse targets, and little time to get out detecting. I was able to get out this morning for a little while and found three KG II's and what I believe is a KG III but will have to look closer to see if it is a KG I . Anyhow, these coins were...

    A little lunchtime silver

    Unfortunately I am working today, but at lunch time I found a nice piece of silver jewlery at my secret silver spot [attachment 275658 rps20131005_135648_351.jpg] Cleaned up [attachment 275659 rps20131005_141823.jpg] [attachment 275660 rps20131005_141957_733.jpg] [attachment 275661...

    Nicked a King George this morning, found two mercs this afternoon

    How can I dig about twenty five pieces of tin foil without bending it from the shape it was in for the past seventy years while in the ground, but then nick the possible KG.. Honestly the thing was so shot it isn't a big deal, it is odd though that the coin is practically smooth on either side...

    Looking ahead, will better detectors or better methods of detecting mean more at the end of the day

    Title pretty much says it all. What do you think? I believe that detecting technology will improve but, I also believe that we can build upon or detecting forefathers (and mothers) experience in order to help us find more. Personally I think it will be more thorough and thought out detecting...
