    Start of 07 finds.

    The past couple of weekends have been kind of mild and allowed me to get out.Went to some cellar holes that have already been worked but not cleaned out.I got a few coins and some relics. Overall I'm pleased with the start of the new year coming away with some old coins early on. Dateless Buff...

    Some December digs.

    With Winter being a no show so far in South Eastern Conn I had a few chances to get out.With a very busy schedule I had to make time for myself and just get away from it all.Here are some of the better finds I made while out searching cellar holes.I will have to take a few color pics of the...

    Start of Winter project.

    As Winter starts to set in and my detecting slowed down I decided to make a few display boxes.These are my first 3 and I hope to make a few more.The box sizes are 6x8 8x10 & 10x12.My thought is to keep the relics I find at a particular site together.With this attempt I will make different size...

    More field finds.

    Returned to the field again yesterday with two different approaches.First was to try to see what the Excalibur could find.I know it is a water/beach machine but it hit two small buttons in places I went over with the XLT.It was quite different and only used it for 45mins.Later on in the evening...

    Went back down to the hay field. (Multi Pics)

    I had some time go get out so I figured I would give the field another shot.I took the slow approach and dug what stayed a solid hit.I got some good results with a couple nice finds.First hit was another Large Cent located close to where I dug the last coins so it isn't in great shape.Next came...

    Braved the heat to hit a field.

    Went out Monday afternoon to hit a field that just has been hayed.We had done this spot before with some good results.There is a slight hill with a small cellar hole on it that blends in and is not noticed unless you are right on top of it.I started to hunt next to the brush line that runs along...

    Went to my favorite cellar hole spot today............

    Pulled up where I normally park and noticed something new.The town put in a sign designating the road I walk on as a nature trail and a trail of "Historic Significance "to the town.Another sign reads..."The area of Newent Woods & The Old Lee road are of historic significance to the town.Removal...

    First half Of 2006 In Review.

    So far the first half of this year has beaten all of my previous three years.Over the winter I finally decided my primary mode of hunting this year would be relics.I figured out that the finds don't come to you, you go to them.So I spent time researching areas and some of them payed off.Here are...

    Odd Looking Silver.

    Went to a trashy cellar hole site that looked to be a party spot in the woods.Came away with this Sterling item.It looks to be an old shaker top of some kind.It has been flattened and has 12 holes in it.Well thats my best guess but it is silver so I guess I will keep it.It also has some screw...

    How I Spent My Non Detecting Free Time This Spring.

    Well I had a pretty good Spring finding some things with the XLT.But my biggest reward was coaching my daughters softball team.I think of myself as being thick skinned but let me tell you these ladies broke me down at times.We had some good times and some bad but always seemed to walk off the...

    Got A find Today That Amazed Me.

    Went back to an area today that we hit a few times this Spring.This area has three cellar holes close to one another and we hit them all multiple times. After a few junk targets I got an iffy overload hit at 1 1/2''.Dug some hunk of junk and said oh well you knew it wasn't going to be...

    It Pays Off To Return To Sites

    Well some times it pays to return.We hit a small home site that we did earlier this spring.I decided to detect in front of the house and go slow.I covered an area about 20'x 60' with good overlapping swings and came away with 5 keepers.First good hit was a King George II Halfpenny at 6...

    You Just Never Know........

    What will pop up and where it will be.I've been interested in a spot on the side of a road for some time now.It looks to be an old livestock pen with high stone walls that is about 50'x 20'.We decided to pull over and give this spot a try.Nothing turned up in the pen so I hit the woods behind it...
