    13" Ultimate Coil vs 10x12 SEF Silver dime trio & Colonial Button

    Greetings all. Finally got my 13" Ultimate coil in the mail on Saturday, after 1 month+ of waiting! Got out briefly on Sunday to try it out. My first stop was at a very hunted out Union encampment. First few signals were trash so I decided to move from that area and as I did I noticed that...

    1st Large cent, 1820-40's US military coat button, MANY other buttons etc

    Spent most of yesterday afternoon back at the field that I found the capped bust 1/2 dime in. Kept hoping for some more coinage, and finally did manage to find my 1st large cent. Unfortunately it is in poor condition and I can't make the date out, before I cleaned it I think I saw an 8 as the...

    WAHOOOOOEEEEEEDrapedBust1/2dime!!!!!

    I still can't believe I found this! I honestly never thought I would ever find anything like this beautiful little coin. Everytime I see other members post pictures of 1/2 dimes I almost salivate, then when I found a 1/2 of a 1/2 seated dime last week I figured that would be as close as I'd...

    Colonial buttons & after swinging a 10x12 in the hot sun a 1/2 seat is better than no seat!

    Last year I'd been granted permission to detect some of the grounds on one of the oldest houses in the area, but our one trip there was extremely hot and miserable, and fruitless, so I hadn't been back since. A few cannon balls had been found on the land but we aren't sure where exactly. The...

    Etrac with the X-5 squeaks some silver out of the trashy park

    Have been hunting a local park for quite some time now, and it's pretty much hunted out from several years worth of different hunters and different detectors. Decided to give the old sunray x-5 a college try there the other day because I hadn't used it a whole lot and figured I didn't have...

    Indian artifacts, awesome condition 1869 Indian head penny, silver dimes, CW Relics

    Finally have a decent grouping of finds to post, took long enough...well over 6 hunts represented here! The 3 dimes all came from a "hunted out" park, 3 different areas & 3 different hunts (so technically not a trifecta). The barber is my nicest found detecting, can still read the liberty on it...

    Some ringtails and other nice drops

    Here are my latest finds from a spot I've been hunting over the past few weeks. Am only able to get on the site after hours when it is not being used so my hunt times are usually not long. Included in one grouping is a small sterling ring I found, not old but still silver. What I seem to be...

    New Site yields sharpes, pistol bullets, eagle button etc.

    I recently got permission (after making lots of phone calls and doing some research) to hunt a site that we were certain that it had Civil War activity. There were supposed to have been a few sharpes bullets recovered years ago before the people responsible for the property put the squash on...

    Some CW bullets and relics

    Here are my combined finds from several different hunts. Some days I hunt all day and am lucky to find one bullet, other days I hunt an hour and find three...go figure. Got a couple of pieces of a broken spur (no luck on finding the other piece, could be in someone else's collection already)...

    Some more CW finds. Need help on bullet

    Have hit the "hunted out" encampment site a few more times this past week. The weather here has been incredible and too nice not to be out digging relics. Found a few more bullets, my first complete pinfire (wahoo! ), a smashed general service button with great details, percussion cap, and...

    10x12 SEF finds some deep CW goodies & my 1st Buckle!

    Well this year is certainly starting off very nicely for me and my etrac. I"ve been out every chance I can get while the weather holds out and the past couple of days I've been using my 10X12 sef coil to try and find some goodies at a "hunted out" Union encampment site. Some of the finds...

    First CW Bullets/relics of 2012

    Got out twice this week. Monday met some friends at a house for a few hours that one had gotten us permission to hunt on. My two buds were probing for bottles when I arrived. I was itching to detect.... (actually they were too, they just didn't want to admit it...). The one who had been to...

    Good Start to 2012 Silver, tokens & Rings

    The weather here in swampeast Missouri has been very mild so far this winter. I managed to hunt all the way thru December and a few days this year already too. I obtained permission to detect a big yard at a circa 1907 house right before the New Year and scored my last silver of 2011 there, a...

    My 1st Silver half, a few other silvers and some CW relics

    I recently got permission to detect a couple of houses I'd been eyeing. One of the homes was built in 1900 and the other is older (and a 3rd across the road is older still but I havn't contacted the owners there yet, saving that one for last). They are both on a hill which is within sight of...

    Finds from last several hunts. Silver, wheaties & CW bullets

    Took me a lot of hours and many, many hunts to get enough good finds to make a decent post. Hunted a couple of older yards a few months ago. Just knew I was going to clean up on silver at both. Ended up with a big pile of wheats, one '39S Mercury dime that was probably 10 inches deep and only...

    Beating the brush for CW Bullets. My 1st Sharps & others

    Hunted an extremely brushy area this week that borders a field which held a large encampment. I was hoping that the briars and bramble may have protected a few goodies from the dozen or so hunters that have beat the open field to death. The first day it was below 40 degrees out with...

    One little, two little Indians, and my other little finds

    One little, two little indians. Two little indian coins. One indian flattened by a steam engine, one little indian coin. I detected a yard of an older home on Monday and started off great with a pocket spill of 3 wheaties, then another a foot or so away. Picked up some memorials here and...

    More Civil War Union Finds from the fence row

    I posted last week showing some bullets and buttons that I found in the fence row bordering a very hunted out encampment. Yesterday I took a machette and cleared out a bunch of brush, and hunted pretty much all day using a 6x8 sef coil. Wasn't there but a few minutes (after swinging the...
