    A Lurid Little December Hunt.

    It got up into the 40s and I figured, what the heck? I stayed very close to home, figuring an hour would be it. I was out for an hour and 15 minutes before I got tired of chipping items from the frozen playground. First hunt in 4 weeks and it sure felt good to stretch out the old detecting...

    Two Milestones!

    Another nice day, and the first time I've hunted two days in a row in quite some time. Here's the clad, a few wheats, a rusty handmade nail, and a tag of some kind. [attachment 179450 111410-1.JPG] Yes, I track my clad. For those of you who ask yourself why, I ask you, "Why aren't you?"...

    Sunny and 65 in mid November!

    I have to confess. I haven't had the detecting bug very often lately. Sort of waiting for the end of the season which I'm ready for. That said, when I get a nice day, like today, I have to get out. Rare for me to find this much stuff in a November hunt. Weather usually drives me back home...

    It's been awhile.....

    but I'm back, baby! I have managed a few short hunts recently, but had no desire to photograph or post them. Today I woke up with no strong desire to detect but I was also extremely bored and the weather was OK. Around 45-50F, which is the best treasure hunting temps in my book. I really...

    Columbus Day Loot

    The story? The short version anyway. I had no plans to go out detecting. Naturally my neighbors had plans of their own, and I decided to seperate myself from their inconsiderate nonsense. I drove to a site I hadn't been to yet in 2010. Turned out great! Everything: [attachment 175983...

    A milestone.

    I've been out two or three times since I hurt my back. Feeling much, much, better. Found a silver coin and tiny gold earring on my birthday. No pic. Was 33 coins from this goal when I stopped that day (a week or so ago) but I didn't want to risk it. Made it out for 90 minutes yesterday and...

    Happy Birthday to my GTI 2500.

    While I can't give my poor, old, GTI 2500 a proper birthday gift, I can pay homage to her here. I first swung her exactly three years ago today. According to my detecting spreadsheet my total finds with the old girl since then value: $6503.30!!!!!! Here's another of my favorite finds from a...

    Friends (Please don't respond to this post.)

    I am a bit embarrassed about how long that last thread has become. That said, it is a nice feeling to read all of your kind words (of course I read them all and responded as best I could) and advice. Today I feel almost as good as I did three or four weeks ago when my back started acting up...

    Out of business for awhile. (Off Topic Ramble.)

    My back saga continues. I could barely get out of bed Sunday morning. Monday was no better. Took me about five minutes to get dressed. Arranged for a few days off work and went to see my doctor. This guy does not listen to me, I swear. He is also anti pain medication and relies on muscle...

    Best hunt in 2010! Triple Gold!!! Silver!! (Plus, sadly, yet another cop encounter.) (LONG)

    What a day! It's Saturday so, as usual, up early, out early. Back to the spot that has given up gold two of the last three times I've been there. It was 78 degrees at 6 am (hot for this time of year) and when I got there and my back wasn't feeling too spiffy after my 45 minute drive. Here's...

    Hunt with new detector. (Not really.)

    With all this talk about new detectors, I decided to switch up my routine. I changed the settings on my trusty, old, GTI 2500. New tone. Treasure talk off. New program. Hit one of those one time a year sites John wrote about. Pretty close to home base. Unlike that lucky duck John, I...

    Back feeling a whole lot better.

    I've been staying away from the forum only because reading about metal detecting always makes me want to go out! Managed a quick hunt yesterday to test out the old back. Felt fine. Decided today to try out my favorite hunting style. That is, up early, out early, home early. Now the problem...

    Well I've done it this time.

    My back has been bothering me since about Thursday. Odd, because the last time I detected was Monday. I figured I slept funny one night. I felt like crap yesterday but woke up this morning feeling fine. When 1pm came along I was terribly bored and figured a little hunting would help keep me...

    Here's a bit of a story for you. (Plus some other thoughts.)

    Had three hunts this weekend. I was going to post the finds in one photo but I ran out of space on two paper towels. Here's the story. I frequently write about folks I meet while hunting. Some good, some bad. I always welcome friendly and polite kids who want to tag along with me...

    Weekend stuff.

    Nothing too exciting. One silver ring. Three gold plated rings. Cool T Rex pendant. I wish it was gold. :( First ever foreign silver coin. 1966 Canadian dime. First new Lincoln cent. 2010. Musket ball. August 2010 was my second best month for clad ever. 2029 coins. Plus all the...

    Best stuff from past three hunts.

    Y'all must be tired of looking at my clad so I won't post it this time. There was a lot. I recall Uncle Willy asking me a few weeks ago when I though I might hit 6000 coins for the year. I replied at the rate I was going, sometime around the third week in August. Well, I hit 7000 yesterday...

    Sunday Hunt. (One of those finds.)

    My silver coin streak is alive. 1941 dime. Five wheats. Tiny silver ring. Coin from Trinidad. Some junk jewelry. One of those finds you ask? The locket. What's it made of? It isn't marked. It had a lot of little black marks on it so I thought gold plated. Took an eraser to those marks...

    More madness. (Long Post Alert!)

    Another one of those 24 hour periods. 21 hours actually. 5 hours in my truck, 9 hours swinging, 7 hours eating, sleeping etc. First an explanation for the silver quarter in photo below. I was cleaning my detector in the deep sink at work and was asked how long it would take me to go...

    Best hunt of 2010?

    Perhaps. Found a little of everything. Here's the story. I was saving this hunt for better conditions, that is, after a nice rain. I have the itch and the humidity left us so I figured a nice afternoon out was in order even if it is very dry. Got to site one which is the site I was saving...

    If you thought I was too tired and sore to detect today then you haven't been paying attention at all!

    Nobody read my post that said I was too sore to even walk this morning. After a hot shower and coffee I felt like a million bucks. Off I went. Found two silver rings, three wheats, 183 coins including my first dollar coin in months, junk chain and pendant that had me hoping until I got home...
