    1861 CAMP #3

    High hopes for this one. Camp #2 is put off do to crops coming on. Still think it could pay off but we need to check different locations on the farm to pinpoint what we are looking for. Just got permission on camp #3. Everything matches what the diary says. Distance from towns mentioned is...

    1861 Camp #2

    Just got permission on another pro-southern camp in Missouri. We got a reference to the campsite in a personal diary. It mentions Camp John Doe and said it was called that because the camp was in John Doe's pasture. He also gives a mileage distance from a known town. 3 companies where there 10...

    DOUBLE GOLD

    Found two gold coins in one week. What a spring opener. Started working an 1861 Civil War Camp this spring that I had worked two years ago. I finally hit a hot spot. I also found an 1842 half dime, 1847 half dime and an 1856-O Dime. This area is littered with all sizes of ball shot, .28 to .69...

    IFFY NICKEL SIGNAL VIDEO

    Getting cold but no snow or frozen ground yet here in NW Missouri. Got out to a private today & shot video of an iffy nickel signal that turned out to be an old ring. I have dug a lot of old deep nickels and jewelry with this type of signal. The numbers are all over the place each side of what a...

    NAIL OVER COIN VIDEO

    Here is a link to a video from a hunt at the large park I have been working. There was a small nail on top of the Barber dime. The signal was a digger from the start but it was throwing a few odd numbers and would sound a little off on some sweeps. You will notice how clear it gets after I find...

    1800's Weekend

    TALL GRASS HUNTING IDEAS

    Got a chance to get back in a large area that was very active from about 1870 to 1910. Found 1 seated quarter, 2 seated dimes, 3 barber dimes and more in this spot years ago when the grass was short. Ground lays pretty much like it was in the old days but the grass is around 8 to 10 inches tall...

    Pulling Out The Deep Stuff

    Been hunting a large so-called "Hunted Out Park". Everything is 9 inches plus. Have about 30 coins, 3 tokens, some jewelry & a Model T key. As normal with the Etrac the Fe numbers and to some degree the Co numbers are all over. The cursor bounce and depth have been a dead give-a-way. There are a...

    Help Identify CW relic.

    Found this at a Civil War site. Could this be a cannonball fuse? I have seen photos that look exactly like this, except mine has an extension on both sides of the threaded portion. One picture shows what appears to be a chunk of black material that is almost fused to the threads. The threads...

    Great 2014 opener.

    First time out for 2014 was a great day. Went to a spot that became available to me again do to another change of ownership. I had last hunted this spot in 1984 with a Garrett Freedom one and found a 1873 quarter. I was only there about an hour when the owner decided he really didn't want...

    I am amazed!

    Just new to forum. I bought an etrac 3 weeks ago after some intense studying on the forums. Wow was that the right move. I have been detecting since the early 80's. Started out with the old metal box Garrett coin commander & moved to the new plastic box coin commander. I could peg a coin by...
