    Best find of 2007

    With the weather that's coming, this year is all but shut down so here's my best find for the year. It's a Cross 2 reales, minted in the early 1700's. I need to do electrolysis on it to clean it up. This was found in a suspected muster field where I found a Cross 1 reale, a nice 1803 LC, a few...

    Since the year is almost over...what are your best finds for 2007?

    Could be gold, silver, copper or whatever. Put some posts up and don't be shy. Ron

    It's beginning to look at lot like winter

    [attachment 74702 UpperMillresized.jpg] Here's a mill down the road from my house taken last year. It looks exactly like this today, 8" of the white stuff and thank God the snowblower started. The wind is howling, the temps are dropping, I'd even go for a week in Florida with the Mother-in-law...

    Question on HF coil

    I have been lurking and on occasion posting on a Relic Forum. This forum is not brand- specific, that is, nearly all the brands are represented. I have been reading quite a few posts from people using the new Fisher F-75 and they seem to be pulling up some good stuff at respectical depths. A few...

    Some of the places I go

    I went to a few cellar holes this past weekend, usually they are nothing special, basically a dug hole in the woodos but these two had a different feeling, maybe because of the settings. The first cellar in the woods is approached by an old town road through the woods. You can tell it's a town...

    A few finds today

    Not a bad day for late November. A friend and I found a cellar hole way on top of a rolling pasture. The site overlooked it and you could see into the next state, what a place to build a house. The CW buckle gave a trashy signal and a VDI of 24, but I dug anyway as I dig nearly any decent signal...

    Found some oldies today

    Went to a few sites this cold November day and got an 1845 LC and the 3-cobra button, then went to a pounded field. This field was suspected to have been a muster field in the 1800's. I got a King Philip "cross" 2 reales and a nice 1803 Draped Bust LC and a few buttons. The coins really...

    Low in the hole

    On a trek to find a picnic grove, we found instead a huge cellar hole. Foolishly, I didn't bring the 6" coil with me so scanning the hole with the 10.5 was fruitless. I got a few buttons in the road in front and on the way back, we hunted some breaks in the stone wall that ran parallel to the...

    Farm field finds

    Here's the things I dug yesterday at a new field. Lots of ground to cover, 120 acres so it should keep me busy 'till snow flies. Also got a Nickle 3 Cent Piece, my first 3 center. Wish it was the silver variety. Maybe next time, Ron

    X- Terra 70 and depth

    If anyone has doubts about the X-70 going deep enough, I dug a 1/2" button (plain, 2-piece) today at about 12 - 13". I had the 10.5 DD, running All - Metal, Sens. at 28 and TID at 30 with a good solid tone. I almost gave up on it thinking it was a large piece of iron that was deep. I finally...

    6" DD coil

    I got a chance to try out the new 6" DD coil today. I took it to a new cellar hole and there was the usual amount of iron scattered about. This coil impresed me, I was able to run Sens. at 26 around the hole and 28 on the outer fringes. With the small footprint, I could almost hear the coil...

    Just ordered a 6" coil

    Got the DD 18kHz one. I hope what I have been reading is right about that coil. The 6" concentric seemed too close to the 9" stock coil and I really liked the 4x6 DD coil on my DFX for cellar holes. I just wonder if the 18kHz freq. will be alright for coins as that's what I mostly go for. I'm...

    Finally got some silver

    After a spell of LC and King Georges, I scored this Walker on the first swing in a farm field. I love silver, especially big silver when you see that shine against the dark soil. Ron

    Unusual find

    I was detecting on the farm where my Great- Grandfather lived and dug up what I thought was a small watch case. After a lot of cleaning, I saw that it is some kind of coin holder (Seated dime was not included). The center is spring loaded and would hold from nickles on down, probably 4-5 of...

    Headphone cord tip

    One of the first things I noticed about my Terra 70 is how the headphone plugged into the side of the main box. I was used to the phones plugging into the back of the box on my White's units. Using the Terra, the cord was swinging wild and would be in the way when I set the machine down to...

    Macro shot

    First day out with the G7, I took some macro shots of my wife's flowers. So far, I'm pretty happy with this camera. Thanks for looking, Ron

    Camera help, trying to decide on a good digital

    Hello all, I have been using a Canon A95 for the past few years and like the camera for the most part. I decided to upgrade to have a little more creative control and up the megs to 7 or 10 as I do some cropping. I had an A710is ordered, but the salesman talked me into an A570 as he said the...

    Here's looking at you, Lady Liberty

    Took Bob's advice and blew off the afternoon and hunted a small field. Pulled up the 1803 Capped Bust, almost didn't find it as it was in a hard dirt ball that didn't pinpoint, and got the 1947 Washington. They must have made a slew of the coppers as my hunting partner found one last weekend and...

    Some weekend finds

    I hooked up with NH Bob again today and he brought me to a field next to his Field of Dreams. The farmers must get thirsty there as I dug 5 deep soda cans that rang in around 30-32. I got another hit in that range and as I flipped the 6" plug over, I saw a silver disc. It was a one reales in...
