    It wouldn't be the holidays without a picture of Verns postcard perfect home

    C'mon Vern, you guys always do such a great job of decorating. Besides it will give the rest of us some incentive to finally fix up our homes/cardboard boxes.

    Now that there is snow on the ground a question

    I know that the big snow shovel will get detter depth, but isn't the five inch snow shovel better in tight or trashy areas ? How much depth do you lose by using the smaller shovel, and should I turn the sensitivity up when using the small shovel?

    The few from the weekend

    I only had an hour or so on Sunday so I headed to an old school yard. Aside from the ton of clad these were still hiding there.

    Ya'can't have Thanksgiving dinner without an Indian

    So I went out and found one this morning. The 1909 would have been great if it was an S V.B.D. Gotta go, Maria is yelling "You had better get ready, we have to leave in 15 minutes" That means I still have 12 minutes before I need to start. Enjoy your dinners!

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone

    It is a day to give thanks for what we have, as well as our friends and family. I will also be giving thanks that I don't have to be at my in-laws until 4:30 That means...yep metal detecting in the morning! Weeeeeeeee!

    Someone asked me for this again

    These were the mod's I did to the 70. Since there is no Sunray probe available and I am used to one on my Explorer I mounted the uniprobe on the shaft, it's out of the way and pinpoints better than the Sunray. The second mod is a folding bipod which adjusts to several sizes, keeps the detector...

    Two sites, two finds

    Site one dates back to the 1700's thats where the large cent came from. The quarters were about two feet apart at site two, also from the 1700's I have been to both places before. I think the moisture in the soil is helping some of these come to light.

    I hunted a picnic grounds

    In operation since the 1930's and still being used. When I asked permission the manager said "A guy was coming here on and off for about a year, so I don't know if you'll find anything" Well, this has to be the toughest place I have ever tried to hunt. There are 70 years of bottlecaps and...

    1803 Large cent

    Wow, I can actually see some bit of detail on this one. Usually the ground here eats everything away.

    A question for veteran detectorists

    Could the older analog or any metered machine for that matter distinguish the difference between silver and clad coins? If so how difficult was it to see/hear the difference?

    Got out for a bit this past weekend.

    The medal is a 1962 Olympic commemorative Italian, the buttons are 1800's farm finds, the Indian is an 1884, and the quarter was at a school that dates back to the fifties. Happy hunting!

    A reminder to my fellow woods hunters

    Now is the time when Yellow Jackets are very active with nest building. Be sure to watch out around old stumps and such. Keep a bottle of sting relief with you and a couple of Benadryl tablets. (No I didn't get stung today) Happy Hunting!

    The weekend's finds

    The weather was perfect for detecting so I got out for a few hours. Aside from the usual pile of clad I found the wheaties: 1910, 1940, 1941, 1951, 1953, an unreadable Buffalo, a 1917 Merc, a 1946 and 1948 Rosie and a piece of jewelry stamped 1871 Forsythe on the back. There was probably a stone...

    Sundays eye opener

    I found this at a homesite that I pounded with my Explorer. I thought I would give the XLT a try, she certainly didn't disappoint me. 6 inches deep read a solid +92 93 and was lying just about flat. The condition alone was enough to put a smile on my face , when I saw it was a "P" (no mint mark)...

    I wish every find was like this

    This one is in great condition! I need to get it graded. Boy was I happy when I flipped it over and saw NO mint mark! I always hunt with my Explorer, but just bought a used XLT for my brother to use. I took the XLT out to try a custom program I used on one of these years ago. I guess the program...

    Not much, but OK by me

    Because of the weather my time out this weekend was very short. I did find a large chunk of an old brass or bronze bell and a 1943 S quarter along with the usual clad and a few wheaties.

    Why a 5 inch coil is a must

    Out for a bit on Friday. This British penny was in an area where a house once stood. Tons of junk in the ground, one of the worst sites I have been to. Using the Excelerator 5 inch I was able to isolate this one. A shift of the coil a inch or two to either side and a solid junk signal yelped...

    Don't look Vern, you may get homesick!

    Nameplate from a wooden Alaska refridgerator, late 1800's. Even though I prefer the "dug" look of my finds I bet this brass piece would look nice all polished up.
