    A few hours with my bro last night

    My wife made me go out detecting tonight with my younger brother Tom - he's just learning, so he grabbed the E-Trac and off we went. Hit a well hunted park and found a sweet spot. Tom got his first and second silver ('41 and '43 Mercs) and I did pretty good as well. 12 wheats, 2 Indians that...

    Got a couple keepers this weekend

    Threw my back out while swinging the coil last weekend, so I haven't been able to get out the past several days. Felt better on Saturday, so I hit a local park for about an hour and was happy to find a 1906 V-Nic. Last night - I took a ride to an Ann Arbor park that I've hunted a lot and was not...

    Fall-like Sunday Hunt

    Sunday was a lot like September here in Michigan if you ask me - blustery, occasional rain, cool - reminded me of a lot of days I've spent grouse hunting in the fall. Anyway, my brother and I took a short road trip and hit a few parks today. I ended up with 7 wheats, 1 KG6, a '56 Canadian nic, a...

    4 Hours, 3 Oldies

    Got out Sunday morning to one of my favorite old parks - ground was hard as a rock (all the rain of late must have completely missed it!) Ran combined most of the time with manual sensitivity when the ground would allow for it. Very few good targets left here - had to work hard. First find was a...

    Recent finds - End of June/4th of July

    Did some hunting last week at a local park and snagged a '27 buffalo, a '43P war nickel, a '47 Rosie and several wheats. Went up to northern Michigan over the 4th and got more wheats (making 21 total), 2 more buffies (both 1919), an '02 V-nic, 3 Injuns (1890, 1904 and 1907), 2 Barber dimes (1892...

    Recent finds (May)

    I haven't been out regularly of late - lots of other stuff to do with the nice weather. These are the better finds from the past few weeks - here and there and everywhere. 23 Wheats (some oldies in there), 4 Indians (1878, 2 1883's and a 1907), a '36 buffalo, '50 Rosie, musket ball, plated St...

    Derby Saturday and Cinco de Mayo Sunday

    Shot back over to the park that I hunted for an hour Friday evening, no silver but got a 1905 British Penny, a 1920 buffy and a few wheats. Next I stopped by a house that I had been eyeing for a long time and got permission from the owner Bob (super nice guy) - house dates back to the civil war...

    An hour before dark....

    I headed out at about 7:00 this evening to a local park that I have never hunted to see if I could cherry-pick anything. Nothing but clad - so I bugged out of there and headed to a small park that I have detected many times with every machine I've ever owned (including the E-Trac) because it's...

    First WARM day

    Got out to one of my fave parks this afternoon - worked a small area slowly to see what was hiding among the iron and trash. I was surprised! 6 wheats, a flat button 7 Injuns (2x1888, 1889, 1893, 1899, 1900 and an 1859 fatty!), a '37 Merc and my first seated dime of the year - an 1891-O. Also...

    Spotty Weather - Dime Trifecta

    Hunted for a few hours at a local county park earlier in the week before the weather puked out on us - got a '64 Rosie, a few wheats and a Hydra-Matic employee badge. Got out Sunday afternoon - started at an old school... that was a bust - so drove over back over to the big park. Glad I did...

    Park Hunting - Using 50 Conductive Mode

    Got up early and braved the cold wind this morning to hit a few old parks that we've pounded in the past - then pounded them some more! I decided to run all day in 50 conductive sounds, Andy's Old Coin pattern, basically all the same settings I ran on my E-trac. I had a blast, I had almost...

    January 19th - Silver and Buddha

    Went to a nearby town yesterday to try to help out a company that makes pipeline tape - they were looking for rolls that might have staples in them by using a detector- unfortunately, the tape is impregnated with wax that is mixed with aluminium powder - every roll sounded off! Oh well, I tried...

    December 15th Hunt

    Got out to the park for a few hours over the weekend - had to work hard for them and a lot of the ground had tightened up, so I had to restrict my search areas to the soft turf. Scored a cool "Camosheen" token, a '42 Merc, 2 very clean Injuns (1889 and 1890), several wheats, a '32 George V cent...

    Sunday and 65!

    I snuck out for a few hours yesterday afternoon to an old park and was only able to get a few old wheats, a '36 buffy and 2 Indians (1899 and 1900). Also found a clip on lapel pin with a scroll "E" on it. Got out this morning to a park I've hunted the past few months and swung the coil until...

    Recent Finds

    Getting out has been very hit and miss lately, hunted some woods, a few parks, etc. in the past few weeks. Finds were hard to come by, had to work for them! 24 wheats, 1 Canadian George VI, a crusty buffalo, an old monogrammed coin silver spoon (D.C. Jaccard and Co.), 2 compacts, a rusty '42...

    Take it off my bucket list

    Didn't think that I'd be able to get out today because it was my wife's b-day - but she said "go ahead" - so I ran away for a few hours - it was a beautiful day! I'm GLAD I did!!! I hit a park that I've hunted many times before and it did not disappoint - moist ground, or something made the...

    Soggy Saturday

    My brother and I hunted an old park yesterday - and the weather was, well, wet. We dug some nice oldies nonetheless. I got lucky on 5 Injuns (1890, 97, 98, 1903 and 06), a beautiful 1919-D Merc and a "Remember the Maine - Cuba Must be Free" token.

    Michigan Treasure Hunters Autumn Weekend

    Great weekend despite the poor weather up in Northern Michigan - we had it all, except for warm weather (wind, cold, rain, sleet, snow)! Finds were HARD to come by, but we managed to pull out some nice finds. On the way up north my brother and I stopped at a few places and I got several wheats...

    Saturday Park Hunt

    Larry (NGE) and I got up early for a Saturday morning and headed out to a park that I've hunted a few times recently. We had a good time - the weather was beautiful and the other park goers were friendly. First signal right out of the gate was a 1919 mercury, so my hopes were high that we'd have...

    Cooler Weather - hallelujah!

    It's been hit and miss since my daughter started 7th grade (lots of homework) - but I did OK when I did get a chance to swing the coil - and the cooler weather is finally here, making it a lot more pleasant. I hunted a few local parks that I was able to get to before dark on a couple of...
