    A rainy hunt and a few relics today...

    Had plenty of daylight left when I got off work today and I was ready for a hunt after a long week at the grinding stone, LOL. Changed into my best detecting clothes just as the heavens opened up and started to down pour rain. It has been above freezing the past two days with rain and much of...

    German WWII defensive position hunt...

    I was talking to my detecting buddy last week and he said he wanted to do a forest hunt. I had been recently given a WWII German defensive site near by to detect, our museum curator took me on a first hand tour of the site several weeks ago. I called my buddy, filled him in on the details, the...

    Happy Thanksgiving and a quick hunt after the meal...

    I cooked a 5 lb boneless ham, cheesy scalloped potatoes and green beans for Thanksgiving, only thing missing was the cornbread and cranberries. Saved the Turkey for Christmas as I was the only one off work today, kids in school and wifey on the run doing errands and taking Maw in law to the Doc...

    The local ski resort opened today, my wife and daughter had big plans of going skiing and I planned on detecting however, my daughter tried on her old ski boots and they no longer fit her. No way to get her replacements on a Sunday here in Germany. I went detecting to the same field as...

    A water hunt today...

    I went to a drained lake today but it was not drained enough, turned into a water hunt and I was prepared for it. Put on my waders for about the fourth time and used my Minelab XT70 in knee deep water. What a bummer, only found 4 coins totaling 50 Euro cents, did not even come close to gas...

    A quick 45 minute hunt with a friend today yielded some nice relics. Called my friend and asked if he wanted to detect, said he was studying for an exam, college student, but could use a 1 hour break and that

    A few finds, need ID help on an older coin...

    I trimmed hedges and trees most of the morning to early afternoon today. Wifey and daughter came out to help voluntarily, I thought this was unusual and got suckered into taking them shopping this evening, LOL. Managed to get out for a 1.5 hour hunt before shopping on one of my favorite...

    Trapped in the 1800s but I did dip into Medieval...

    A few hunts worth of finds this week, just the better stuff. But first, a picture of two old wooden beer kegs I acquired a few months ago. <center><img src="http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb7/BavariaMike/SeptDec08/WoodKegsS.jpg"></center><p> The bigger keg still has the brass quality...

    Medieval and post medieval finds from the beer token field...

    Spent several hours this past week hunting the beer token field. I call it the beer token field as it has given up so many beer tokens, 30ish tokens. It has also produced a few medieval finds, two nice seal matrixes, several coins and the first gold to come from my area found by my Alaskan...

    Drained lake hunt gives up a 1912 Russian coin...

    I asked a work colleague to keep an eye on a swim lake a few weeks ago that he passes by every day on the way to work, yesterday he said the lake had been lowered. So I hit it for about 1.5 hours after work. Most of the swim area is exposed and easy digging. Talked to a few fishermen while...

    Weekend hunt gives up a few nice coins and relics...

    Finds from a hunt on Saturday and a few finds from another hunt last Thursday. I did another medieval parade/festival Sunday dressed as a medieval soldier, it was a good time and I like my sword a lot, LOL. We did a U-turn at one point and I got to see the whole parade go by. This is my 6th...

    German Ghost Town detecting and exploring...

    Through my job on a military installation, I have just been given access to a few German ghost towns. These towns, 58 in all, were evacuated by the German Army between the early 1900s-1935 to form this training area. The Americans took it in 1945 and have used it ever since. I explored this...

    This little problem happens on occasion, I find a target, good VDI and tone, dig, rescan hole, target gone, no tone, no VDI but wait, there is a coin in front of my face in the bottom of the hole. What gives? I have learned to work around the problem using my pinpointer when this happens but...

    Medieval battle weary and a water hunt...

    I did a water hunt last weekend. Saturday they were having a Triathlon so I went to the other side of the lake and realized they used the whole perimeter of the lake for the swimming event. <center><img...

    Another seal matrix and cockerel tap valve...

    I did two short hunts this weekend on the next field. Was digging the deep weak targets as there is not much left and once again was surprised at the great finds. Most targets jump around the VDI and are 6
