    Starting February on a good note!

    Got out yesterday in between rain showers and managed to pull a few goodies from yet another rental. The ground was waterlogged, and any holes dug quickly began to fill with water. My first signal right after checking GB was a surface "95" hit that sounded "too good to be true". I took a picture...

    Ended January on a strong note!

    Found another rental near the old neighborhood last week and called to get permission today. It was a lovely night for a hunt - overcast, temps in the upper 40s, and a slight breeze was blowing. This house had a 400-watt light in the backyard that made it very nice to see by, and I didn't even...

    Finally got a chance to hunt!

    It seemed like a lifetime between hunts recently, between less than ideal weather and the sloughing off of a few items I don't plan on moving with - I finally managed to get out to a new-to-me rental property only 5 minutes from home that was built in the late 1950s. Pickins are pretty slim as...

    More house hunts...

    Got out to four different rentals yesterday with Gerald. Both of us hit many coins but the only silver between us was a single Merc bagged at the first house about an hour into the hunt. We both scored multiple Wheats, telling us we were in the right neighborhood, but I guess it just wasn't in...

    Three different houses today...third time's a charm!

    Made it out for most of the day since the temps were in the 40s here - it was a gloomy, misty sort of day and all three locations I hunted were mucky (so much for cleaning the detector!) Started out at a recently vacated house whose original owner passed last summer, but this person must have...

    Field stripping the upper shaft

    After a few rainy and muddy hunts, it was time to disassemble everything and begin a sort of cleaning process. Didn't want mud to get inside the camlocks and was surprised to see very little inside of the shaft after getting everything broken down for cleaning. The build quality if this upper...

    Short hunt turns up first silver for 2015!

    Made it out tonight before much colder air hits the region and makes detecting life miserable for us for a few days! Found another rental house not far from Monday's hunt - this house was built in 1942. As I got started detecting, a neighbor came over, curious as to what I was looking for. We...

    Almost skunked...but not quite! :detecting:

    Gerald and I got out today to another rental house - there seems to be no limit to the amount of rental houses available at any given time in the city that are worth hunting...usually if the house is newer than 1960 I won't hunt it but today's hunt took place at one built in 1938. We started out...

    First hunt of the year!

    Got out this morning with Tabman, and we started at an older rental which happened to be unsuitable for hunting due to fill gravel being brought in at some point. Dad and his older brother Doug came along as well, and between the four of us there were 3 detectors swinging at once! After less...

    Final hunt for 2014

    Went back to the abandoned house tonight for a couple hours only - the temp was dropping fast and the wind was starting to pick up so I kept it short. Ten feet away from where I found a silver dime last time I got a nice "91-92" signal...clear and crisp...and found the neat dolphin ring next to...

    Sloppy hunt yields a 1943 copper penny!

    Was in Knoxville on Sunday and decided to check out a site that recently had 4 houses demolished which dates back to about 1900. To my dismay, I learned that the four lots were scraped and then refilled with only the best red clay native to the region. Wasn't able to get any video since it...

    I wasn't leaving WITHOUT a silver coin!!! :sleepy:

    Another night hunt completed on a house built in 1949 that is currently bank owned. The ground was very soft and easy to work with, and this site had plenty of coins at the 6-8" depth range, unfortunately most of them were Memorials! I spent 4 hours total here, using 12 khz with the usual high...

    A few goodies found a new home for Christmas

    Made a trip into one of the older parts of the city today to a new-to-me corner-lot rental house. I only hunted the curb strips and front yard today and have saved hunting the backyard for another time!!! Rain came and went, which stopped me from filming the hunt in its entirety - seems like the...

    This rental house didn't stand a chance...

    Gerald (tabman) and I hit this new-to-us rental property built in 1954 - we weren't expecting the number and quality of targets that it would give up! Not 5 minutes after firing up our detectors, Gerald gets a nice high-toned signal with his AT Pro, and before digging it out; I scanned it with...

    Got a Compadre yesterday...

    ...and will be giving it as a gift to my nephew-in-law who has expressed some interest in detecting. As luck would have it, he lives directly behind our house in the same neighborhood so I'm sure he and I will be trying out the detector in his yard, and on some of my test garden targets. So now...

    Dad's Christmas present for his CZ6

    Just got this from Fleabay for dad's CZ6....He's been using the stock 8" coil for a long time, but there are places we hunt that he could benefit from either the larger or smaller coils! http://www.ebay.com/itm/131372782646?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Another night hunt less than a mile from home

    Found a rental house built in 1940 that I spotted on the way to the post office last week, and decided to give the owner a call. The "For Rent" sign had been removed from the front yard, so this was a time-sensitive matter! The owner told me that he had already rented the house and that the...

    Last 3 Hunts...

    Very nice coins! It's always important to listen to that inner voice on those weird targets and "dig it!" We are fortunate to be able to hunt comfortably this time of year...

    A few good targets among the trash

    Tonight I revisited a homesite that gave up a few Wheats and a silver Rosie on the first hunt. Set up a "trashy park" program with a lot of notching since there's a lot of can slaw present: 12 khz Reac 3 Silencer -1 Full tones TX 2 Disc 2.0 Sens 80 Notch 00-48 56-78...

    :crazy: Dad and I scored some silver today :crazy:

    Got back to the old neighborhood today for about 6 hours of hunting at one of the famous rental houses that almost always produce silver! I wasn't ready for today's finds though, and Dad surprised me with a Merc at the end of the day after stating he didn't find any silver on this hunt! First...
