    Road trip to France shopping, Hooters in Germany and a quick hunt today...

    It was a beautiful awesome day here in Germany, sunny and in the low 50sF/11C. A work colleague and I did a road trip to France for some quick shopping and a little culture, had fun there but the shopping center was a mad house full of people. Walked into the store and the whole place wreaked...

    Not a cannon ball...

    I went back to the field behind an offensive position from a battle that attacked a castle in 1704 today. Yesterday I hit a target I just could not get to partly because it was almost dark and I did not want to waste too much time on it and there were several rocks in the hole. Today I brought...

    Three hours on the great Bavarian fields...

    Got out for about three hours today on two fields. Rain, sleet and a little snow but, all bundled up and prepared for, it is easy to deal with and it was a fun hunt! I also found a dead deer today, small deer, hunter probably shot it, the deer took off and he could not find it, the deer wasn

    Detected in France today...

    Headed off to France this late morning to detect a farm field and to eat some French fries. There is a big notable difference when you cross that line known as the border, I crossed over at Saarbruecken Germany on Autobahn 6 that leads into Metz France. About 10 miles into France I hit a toll...

    Hey Andy NM...

    Nice article in the February 08 W&ET Magazine! I enjoyed the read. That Sunray pinpointer is awesome and with an F75 it must be a great setup to use. I wish Sunray would come out with a stand alone pinpointer, should be a water proof or water resistant if he does. Bist du Deutscher? HH, Mike

    Past week, Medieval castle, restoring and exploring...

    I got out a few days ago knowing it was frozen solid but had to try a forest anyway, frozen solid, not even my new digging tool could get through the ice. I was close to a medieval castle and town built around 1107 so I decided to explore a little. It can be exciting walking along 900 year old...

    A WWII hand made suitcase...

    Reality has set in, it has been around -7C/19F most evenings for over a week. Today at 01:00 PM it was -6C/21F when I called my detecting friend and asked what he thought about a forest hunt, he laughed and said forget it, I laughed too especially after he said he was going ICE Fishing! Boring...

    400 year old Jingle Bell found at the old mill...

    Finds from Saturday. Did a night hunt with a friend on the old mill property, I figure we have a few more weeks before the mill is sold or whatever happens to it and hope it does not freeze in the meantime. My friend and I both agreed we had a nice hunt for three hours. I noticed he grunts while...

    Old mill and a drained lake...

    I am going to cram the last two weeks into this post. For the Christmas spirit, last weekend the small town where I live near France had a small Christmas market, right in front of my apartment. Here they are setting it up Saturday. I was getting ready to go detect a drained lake and they...

    Thanksgiving Day hunts, a few relics...

    Well, I am not celebrating Thanksgiving Day traditional as it conflicts with the German life and schedule since the younger kids are in school and older son has to work. We decided to do the turkey on Sunday as we usually have a big lunch with the family and in-laws anyway. I am off work most of...

    Leg breaker gives up a few relics...

    I feel much better today and the cold is gone for the most part. Had a few errands to run and saw a farmer plowing a field where I found a silver hammered coin from 1320ish a few years ago so thought I would hit it. Looked good from the road driving by but it was a leg breaker and plowed very...

    Was having a great weekend up until Sunday afternoon. Saturday, my friend Ray invited me down for a hunt. Spent most of the day detecting, chatting and having a great time. His wife made us some awesome ribs that fell off the bone for dinner, after that good food, I was through! We only...

    Invited to a hunt this weekend...

    I was invited to a hunt this weekend by forum friend Rayredditch, we had a great time! Another German friend accompanied us and the camaraderie was just great! We did not find much in highly potential areas however, just some averages for Germany, look forward to doing it again soon. Today I...

    Silver clad, an exciting first for me...

    It rained off and on all day, the fields were wet and it started raining on my way home from work so I grudgingly decided I would not detect this evening. After surfing the forums I saw a forum friend had posted a beautiful 1892 Morgan Silver Dollar he had found near a long gone school and that...

    4 Silver coins and a few nice relics...

    A few hours on the fields in Bavaria this weekend. I have been hunting this field for several years now and it always gives up some great finds including my gold coin. There was a farm/hotel here from early 1000 to the mid 1600s, strange I have not found much dating the site as most finds date...

    Biggest relic find ever...

    Did two relic hunts today, about 4 hours worth. Found a 1950 German 1 Mark coin, an 1890ish coin and my largest relic find ever, an iron wagon axle. This thing is about 5
