    Double Largies from an 1810 House this Afternoon

    I did some door knocking around 11 this morning and got permission to hunt a very old 1810 field stone house. The owner told me it had been hunted before, but I could try it if I wanted. I told him I would show them what I found if they'd like. They took off to run some errand and told me to...

    2nd Hunt at a Civil War era home

    Last weekend, I stopped at a farm market stand at an older home, asked permission and started detecting the front lawn. The area is filthy with clad, so I spent most of my time removing coins and trash from the surface to a 6" depth last Sunday afternoon and yesterday afternoon. Last weekend, I...

    Return to the Large Cent Trifecta House

    I've been hunting the "Large Cent Trifecta" house for the past couple weekends. The finds are now few and far between. The CTX really cleans up! Once I've run in both direction over the same section of yard, I have gone back and nothing. I hunted a new area of the yard today and here are the...

    Went Back to 3 LCs in One Day Home - 4 Silver Evening

    We took our youngest back to college today for the start of his second year (6 hour round trip). We got home around 3 PM and I was out the door by 3:15. Last weekend I obtained permission to hunt an old property and walked away with a Large Cent Trifecta - Draped Bust, Coronet and Braided Hair...

    Old House Hunt - Just the Best Stuff

    After my hunt yesterday, I went out last evening to secure a spot to hunt after church today. I managed to get a very old brick place in the country with a lot of large trees and huge lawn. All I detected was across the front of the house down to the road. The house also has 2 massive side yards...

    My First BIG Silver, Ever!

    I stayed home this weekend and hunted locally today. I got permission to hunt the yard of a guy I had left a note for about a month ago. The signals were few. I think that this is the first hunt where I haven't dug a bunch of wheaties since I can't remember when. I thought I might get some...

    Finds from the weekend hunt

    Got back to my brother-in-law's again this past weekend. Boy did we hit it hard. I think I wore him out, LOL! He's always tell my sister, "He's like the Energizer Bunny! He just keeps going!". My feeling is that I have to make the most of it while I'm there. It's a 2 1/4 hour drive for me, make...

    Managed to Squeeze out another Silver Today

    I went out and did some door knocking this afternoon. I ended up at a small, old country farmhouse. I was expecting older stuff, but all targets were deep. I managed the usual clad, 14 wheats and squeezed out one Silver Dime. YES! Any time I dig silver, it has been a good dig. Thanks for...

    Hunted Close to Home Today

    I was heading to an old Federal Style house to ask about detecting when I saw an elderly gentleman who just finished picking tomatoes out in his yard. I stopped and introduced myself, asked permission and we visited for a bit. I then went to detecting while he was back and forth taking tomatoes...

    Best CTX Weekend Hunt So Far

    My brother-in-law is finally feeling better so I took the 2 hour up to hunt with him this weekend and WOW!, did we have a good one! I always think that the current rip can never be as good as what we've done in the past and am always surprised. I found my oldest silver coin to date, a well worn...

    This Morning's Hunt

    Went back to the house I got the 1908 Barber Dime and 1854 Large Cent at 10 days ago. I took it really slow and covered an area I had pulled the dime and 20 wheaties from last time. I was thinking, "There has to be some Indian Heads here." Silver still evades me this week, but my new thing is...

    2nd Large CTX Cent

    A few weeks ago, I left a note asking for permission to detect the vacant lot next to a house I dug 4 silver and wheats at. Well, today, I got it. Only thing is, I didn't dig it because the guy across the street was out fiddling around with his motorcycle so I walked over, introduced myself...

    First CTX Large Cent / Squeaked Out Another Silver

    Got permission to hunt a late 1860s to early 1870s Farmhouse yard at 6 PM last evening. I went out at 9AM this morning and hunted for 6 hours. All of the Indian Heads were hiding, but the Wheaties just kept on popping! 20 all together! 1911, 1914, 1916, 1917, 1926 D, 1940, 1941, Two 1944s...

    My BEST CTX Day Yet!

    I went back to the house where I found the 1902 Barber last weekend. There was an area I found a couple of wheaties in the last time. After hunting around the Barber spot, and not finding anything, I worked my way over to where the wheaties had been. I hunted it 90 degrees to the way I hunted...

    Squeezed out Another Sliver

    I never did hear from the guy I left the note for yesterday so I went to an old standby site. The guy that lives across the street ask me if I ever found anything good there. I told about the 3 silver and multiple wheaties I have pulled from there. He told that many detectorists had been there...

    Squeezed a Silver out today

    I took a ride with my wife to take our daughter to work this morning and stopped by at a house on the way back to knock and ask permission to detect. They said yes and I went home, picked up the CTX and went right back. I spent about 4 hours there so I could cover the entire yard as closely as...
