    Nazi Mother's Cross, Swastika Badge and a boar's tooth...

    It defrosted here in Germany. Detected a few fields of red dirt in a neighboring town, highly mineralized but no problem detecting. The dirt is tough on the finds here. A few of the better finds from the red dirt fields. A poor condition swastika badge made of zinc. Obverse. <center><img...

    Got interviewed on a muddy saturated field...

    I set out after work to detect a grass field but, as I drove by a plowed field I want to hunt, it looked solid and not so muddy. We are coming out of winter and it has defrosted, LOL. I tried detecting this field, within a few steps into the field I was already in 6

    In honor of women's history month, do you remember this? Chernobyl documented...

    The Chernobyl nuclear reactor incident happened just a week after I arrived in Germany in April 1986. It has affected my life, I remember the warnings of not eating the wild mushrooms and many others. This is worth a review and a reality check of just how dangerous nuclear power can be. HH...

    Gold plated, copper based, lead filled...

    I did a 30 minute lunch hunt on the army post today, found 4 pennies in the same hole, at least they are copper and not zincolns, LOL. After work I scouted around my usual areas to see if they are thawed. One field was mostly thawed so I detected it for about 30 minutes. Dug an ox shoe, a...

    Finds from a 1008-1250ish town site...

    A few hunts and finds from a town site built in 1008-1250 AD, the town moved about 500 meters around 1250 and walled the city with a moat around it. The site is just farm fields now. I had originally requested this site on my detecting permit but was denied due to historical significance. So...

    14K Gold ring found after work today...

    Had an exciting evening and cured some of that cabin fever. I received a call after work asking if I could help find a gold wedding ring. The ring was lost Saturday in a yard by a guy who lives close by, I said I can be there in 15 minutes. I arrived and he showed me where it was lost and how...

    Railroad date nail exploration and finds...

    I called my detecting buddy today to see how he was doing and told him I was thinking of exploring an abandoned railroad track from the 1870s that is slowly being dismantled. Asked if he was interested in searching for some date nails with me, since it is frozen and we can

    A detecting story...

    A few years ago in late fall, I drove to a local field to detect, it was a hot day. Parked and got my gear ready. As I was walking onto the field I noticed what looked like a body laying on the ground at the bottom of the field. I thought oh no! I whistled and yelled and started walking down...

    I searched high and low today...

    I thought I would amuse myself today and give detecting a try. I decided to go high and low, went high first to the church where my wife and I were married. This place gives up many clad coins from weddings so I thought I could pull a few with a screwdriver. Arrived at the base of the hill...

    Accidental foundations, a quick lunch hunt...

    I went back to some foundations I noticed just off the main street in a wood line on the army post where I have been driving by for nearly 23 years now. Only had about 45 minutes as this was a lunch hunt. I checked out the foundations, they are poured cement and don

    40 minutes and a whatsit...

    After celebrating two days of Christmas I was ready to get out. Was a beautiful sunny day but cold and windy. I knew it was cold and could only hang about 40 minutes out there, after checking the temps when I got home, 25F/-3.7C, Burrr! The top 1

    Merry Christmas and a quick hunt...

    I snuck out today for about 1.5 hours. Ran away from the first field, no targets after 30 minutes, should have been something there as it is just 200 meters from an old grave yard from the 1300s excavated by the Archies a few years ago. Stopped by my local hunted out fields on the way home...

    OT, How my wife ruined Christmas...

    How my wife ruined Christmas. A few years after we were married and our oldest son was getting at the fun age, we were preparing for Christmas. The tree went up and presents started appearing under the tree. I came home from work and noticed a large present under the tree and it had my name...

    A snow field and a few finds...

    Had to work this weekend, 0400-1200, rare but we are doing an upgrade to the simulators. It was 31F/-1C today with gusts of wind when I got out at 13:30. I detected this field on the NE side of town, it had about 5-6

    Joseph and Mary, and a dog...

    Sunday afternoon started with a light rain and 36F/2C. The rain stopped and the sun came out for about 30 minutes and made for a nice day this time of year. I did a new field, found a 1926 coin just a few feet from the jeep and thought this could be a good, er, uhh, crap, bad luck! It was bad...

    Found a unique beer token today...

    It was a nasty day, 36F/2C with a light rain and a lot of wind but the snow is gone. I called my detecting friend but I knew he would not answer his phone on such a day, and he didn
