    If Treasurehound has the MD Flu, what do I have?

    The answer is the MD Plague or something much worse. I was thinking no detecting today. I had a long list of chores that I had to do. I'll still have them to do tomorrow. I am so damned predictable. I set out 8 hours ago to hunt for only about 2 hours and then come home and do chores...

    I thought I would never do this........................

    I'm goal oriented. I like setting metal detecting goals. Some posters have commented that goals and a hobby don't really fit together. I still like setting metal detecting goals. Did I just say that? That said, I took a road trip today with no particular goals in mind. I am trying for...

    I swear I wasn't looking for trouble.

    I wasn't supposed to detect today. It was going to be chore day. Problem is it is too darn nice out and it had rained over the weekend so off I went to a new site. Started out nice with the junk dolphin ring and the 20 cent Euro coin from Spain. Then the clad started coming and man was it...

    Mothers Day Weekend (Tiny Gold)

    I went up to see Mom and on the drive home I hit a few places that looked good that are too far from here to detect. I did pretty well, I think. No silver. I found the tiny bead and knew immediately that it was gold. Turns out it's 10K and weighs .8 g. I looked for more but that was all...

    Thursday's Junk

    I was NOT going to post this but somebody asked me to post a hunt with all my junk so here it is. Lots of pennies at this other guy I knows favorite hunting grounds that I have only hunted once previously. I reckon he's not digging pennies. I found three wheats with two (1911, 1940) in one...

    I'm detecting and posting too often

    I had to go out today because it was so nice. One upside to hunting so much for so long is my batteries are lasting 17 hours instead of 12-14 that I had been getting. It seems that fewer hunts of longer duration are better for them than many short hunts. A touch of sunburn which is A-OK. The...

    A little something for everybody.

    I had a few goals in mind for today and hit them all. It took me 5 hours at 2 new sites. I am loving these new sites! I have a years worth of hunts lined up. For Oakman. Here is the clad less 50 pennies that I mistakenly put in my tumbler before photographing. Take note of my cruddy nickel...

    Thursday

    I got permission to hunt a 200 year old church. I had dreams of seated coins all night. Actually, I am not usually fond of this type of hunting. 200 years means 200 years of junk in addition to coins etc. It is a very small plot of ground. There was so much junk there I had to use my trusty...

    I tried to post this ealier...

    and got a possible hack attack warning? What gives? I had a lot to say but since I already said it once and don't feel like retyping it I'll spare you guys. The photo should do. Same old stuff from me. Here is what I'd like to know. Why do old, deep, hand made nails give off such nice coin...

    If you hate photos of monster piles of clad don't look. (Seriously DON'T look!)

    I had been on a serious Easter winning streak for several years. It probably ended today but there were bright spots. The dolphin thing in photo 2 might be white gold but I doubt it. The watch also looks like it was once decent quality. It reads 17 jewels. A cool Euro 20 cent coin, a new...

    Replay of Thursday (Help with Whatzit requested.)

    I hit the same road I had tried out Thursday. My plan was to find 30 coins at 5 different sites. My plans changed when I hit planned site 2 and it was off limits for the day. I ended up hitting three sites including the two I had hit Thursday. I got to find out just how lazy I get toward the...

    Took a Drive and......

    I found about 5 new spots. Untouched ground (untouched by me that is) means a drive of around 40 minutes to an hour. I managed two hours at each of two schools who were on spring break. I had yet another run in with some idiot teens. They were cussing and swearing and bullying some younger...

    First Gold Ring 2009 (Long post again.)

    Let me begin by saying our weather man is an ass. Prediction of temps in t he 30s and rain mixed with snow had me making other plans for today. I headed out around 10 with a temp of 48 F hoping to get in a quick half hour. Still no precipitation and temps still in the upper 40s as I type this...

    My longest hunt in 2009, thusfar. (Opinions requested, ConfCav et al.)

    I have been out 19 times now in 2009. I managed 3.5 hours today and man am I sore. I went to one of my many clad sites. This place is also great for jewelry and silver coins but I concentrated on a football field today and scored mostly clad. Take a look at photo 2 with the wheat cent. See...

    Gold, gold, gold!!!!!

    Sometimes you don't know what you have until you test it. I was putting stuff into 2 x 2s for my brag book and I took a close look at the bird pin I found this afternoon. I got out a gold polishing cloth and rubbed it down and it shined up nicely. I thought at best it might be gold plated but...

    2009 First 1000 coin summary. (Long and Winding Post.)

    Had a great time today. Drove about a half hour to a site I know this other detector likes a lot. He has a 2500 too. He still has the white coil and when we have hunted together before I usually outpace him about 4 to 1 for finds. That said: Today was perfect weather wise. Strangely the...

    Spent some more MD money.

    I only use MD money for major purchases. Until yesterday it was just that big gold coin. This is what I bought the day before yesterday. It is my first legal handgun. I started the pistol permit process on the Thursday after Election Day. I have a few MD sites where I will feel safer with...

    Yesterdays Hunt

    I have not been visiting the board or detecting in 4 or 5 or 6 days because I was a bit too busy. I'll catch up Sunday when it is supposed to rain. I got out for an hour yesterday and scored 2 silver dimes and a .925 soccer ball pendant in really good nick. A mood ring. Bunch of clad as...
