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

    Got back to the old neighborhood and obtained permission to hunt one of the older homes built in 1947. It was supposed to be a sunny day but clouds built in and pretty much put a lid on that thought! Dad and I had about 6 hours of swing time before it got dark as we arrived around 10:00am. Both...

    Fun weeknight hunt

    Got out to another homesite tonight not far from home for about three hours. Temps were in the upper 50s as we're about to get more rain tomorrow, so tonight was the best night in a while before the weekend gets here! Started off finding a lot of mangled aluminum - kind of like can slaw on...

    Yesterday's park and house hunt

    So yesterday I spent some time in Knoxville visiting friends and managed to get out to a park that I've never hunted before. It is one of the oldest in the city, and I figured SOMETHING would come from it - turns out that it was a day of "twos"...ended up finding two Indian cents, two Wheats...

    Thanksgiving Day Hunt yields a first...

    Had the day off today and wanted to get out and make the most of it since it's business as usual tomorrow in the retail world. Got up at 530 and was on-site by 630...had until noon to hunt today. I researched the old maps of the area and started in an area that three structures stood about 150...

    Button ID

    Went to Knoxville last weekend and hunted a park - found some clad and right at the end I got a sweet solid hit and out comes this button from about 4-5" deep. Looks like a steel backing while the front appears to be brass. Any ideas on age or use? Thanks guys!

    Cold and blustery hunt yields silver!

    Woke up this morning to a half-inch of snow on the grassy areas but the roadways were dry. On Mondays I usually get up around 530 or 600 and start hunting right at sunrise, but today I slacked and didn't get on-site until about 800. I was hoping the sun would come out and warm things up a bit...

    Toasty penny trifecta

    Got out last night for a 2-hour hunt - not quite ready for the cold and the wind that will be reality for the next few months! I hit the fairgrounds and went back to an area that gave up a few Wheats and a Spencer round earlier this year. The ground was frosty, but still diggable. It felt good...

    Back to the 1920 house....what an assortment of finds!

    Got back to the newly demoed house site today bright and early at 6:30am - I brought the glasses but forgot to charge them and was only able to film a couple digs plus an intro. Maybe next time! First coin was a shallow 1936 Buffalo nickel followd by a beautiful green 1926 D Wheat. Worked over...

    Large medallion

    Found this last night, it's made of brass and has a 1908 date under the panther. Any ideas?

    Newly demoed 1920s house shows lots of potential!

    So last night there was nearly a full moon and the rain had finally slacked off from the previous two days. I had set some new coins in the test garden and have been playing with the settings trying to get the deeper "plants" to hit more confidently...many thanks goes out to Jim (Niagaracounty...

    A few goodies today!

    Had about 6 hours to hunt today and I also tried out a new pair of Pivothead recording glasses - I think they are going to work very well for live digs! I recorded a couple recoveries, including an Indian cent: http://youtu.be/renPel0K_Tw Found a very deep and toasty token likely 100 years...

    A few goodies from a "new" hammered site!

    Took the Deus out today for about 9 hours total to a place I've never visited before. This place has a LOT of history from likely before the Civil War, and today it serves as a park and part-time golf course. It was about 80*F and windy today, almost perfect weather to hunt! Hunted again with...

    2 more silvers from the abandoned house...

    Went back last night to the house that gave up a couple of silvers last hunt - and found a couple more silvers...in the form of jewelry! I started off where I found the Buffalo nickel using Deus Fast and quickly found some more lead roofing nail caps. These hit fairly hard in 18 kHz although...

    What are these?

    Made of lead and a little smaller in diameter than a penny - found these at a homesite dating back to at least the 1950s

    Map research pays off again!

    Found an abandoned home site on 6 acres that is slated for office buildings in the next 1-2 years - there were at least three houses on the property at one point but one house was demolished in the 1980s. I remember driving by that place in the late 1980s and noticing one of the houses being in...

    Great day for a hunt!

    Spent almost the entire day today with tabman and Dad and we hit three different places around town. We first visited a new-to-us rental house in the old neighborhood but between the three of us we weren't able to hit a single old coin! We surmised that fill dirt must have been the culprit or...

    12 khz hunt with reloaded v3.2

    I was chomping at the bit all day yesterday to try out the Deus at a site I've pulled almost 20 deep early Wheats. Hunted it before using 4 kHz but the EMI was troublesome, and didn't want to hunt in other frequencies due to the can slaw quotient of the site. I decided "Screw it!" and hunted the...

    Reinstalled v3.2 tonight on a whim...and now 12 khz is HOT! :jump:

    I read on FB where a Deus user re-installs his v3.2 software every few weeks or so due to the "unspoken updates"...things like small bugs getting worked out, that according to him XP wouldn't announce but they would provide it on their website. So I figured...it's worth a shot, and rewriting...

    Deus Fast results from a hard-hit site...and a tiny surprise!

    Went out last night to the homesite that has produced many tokens, Wheats, junk jewelry, and rare silver in the past. I decided to stay close to the area that used to be the front door and driveway edge and was looking for masked targets. Set up Deus Fast and the only thing I changed was GB to...

    Cast iron leg?

    Found this at a site that burned about 100 years ago. Appears to be a piece nailed to one end...any ideas?
