    Digging lots of iron....

    Just starting to get some time in on the CTX. I'm running Gone Hunting's settings posted on another forum, ferrous coin, combined. Just like in all the cool videos, I get this really solid, repeatable deep dig me tone along with what is obviously iron, both show on the screen. Unlike the cool...

    Last hunt or three..

    I've managed to get out and hunt a few times lately in between home projects. The silvers have been few and far between for me lately but still managed a few keepers in between raindrops. Hope everyone is staying safe with the recent round of stormy weather. TC all, JJ...

    Coin cleaning opinions wanted

    My hunting buddy and I kicked around the proverbial question today whether to clean or not to clean, how much, and when. We came to the agreement that a dug coin is a dug coin, is a dug coin.... And a cleaned coin is a cleaned coin, is a cleaned coin.. and a grading company would easily be able...

    Last few hunts and a FLYING first for me!

    I haven't posted in a while but decided to post a few odds and ends from my last few hunts. I only got out to hunt a handful of times last year with dismal results because I was so wrapped up with work but I have decided to allow much more time for detecting this year. Hello to you guys who I...

    Last few yard hunts

    Been very busy with work but still managed to sneak out for a few quick hunts. Didn't capture any cool live action dig shots but here are the keepers cleaned up. Thanks MikeO for staying after me to get these posted and I hope Hurricane Sandy doesn't keep you indoors for too long. Mike, I tried...

    last two hunts

    Sorry to go MIA, but I hadn't been out detecting in nearly a month and a half. My hunting buddy Greg and his fiance were on vacation in Germany for most of that time and I buried myself neck deep with work. But we headed out yesterday and today to make sure we still know how to use our machines...

    yard hunting (X2)

    I've been able to sneak out for a few short hunts in the last week and a half. We've been getting some rain but not nearly enough to make a difference. The ground is still bone dry in most places but the 10x12 SEF continues to squeak a few out from some depths that continue to impress me in dry...

    08/20 yard hunting

    We heading south today to a new-to-us town. It was our plan B for the day. My buddy Greg wanted to venture into Digger's home turf but I brought him up to speed and he decided against it. I convinced him that Randy and his brother Bill are a very respectable force to be reckoned with so we drove...

    08/12 yard hunting (double, double and another double) :smile:

    This is pretty close to the best day of hunting I've had in a long while in terms of quantity and quality. We headed back to the same town as my last post (07/14 yard hunting) and refocused on the same area. We hunted a total of five properties today with permission. Two of them were a complete...

    Beat the heat challenge

    After my last hunt, I decided to dig through my files in search of my most dinged up find that I am least proud of. I always try to dig coins carefully but accidents do happen from time to time. Seeing how most of us are not hunting much lately due to this heat wave, my challenge to you is this...

    07/14 Yard hunting

    We'll I'm very happy that I didn't jinx myself talking about hopefully posting finds from this weekends hunt. We drove to a few new towns hoping to find some unhunted properties and we were in luck. The very first yard of the day proved to be the best. It averaged just below 100 degrees today...

    Wife gave me the go ahead on CTX....

    .....and I'm the one that said NO! She's noticed me eyeing this new fangled machine and jabbering on about all the cool features: waterproof, GPS, color screen, BNB (Bryce-N-a bottle) technology that sees around iron, and on and on. I made the conscious decision that I didn't need it. I can...

    06/30 yard hunting

    I'm a little late on this post but I've been very busy with work lately. I've barely had time to clean finds, let alone post anything. This last hunt was kinda bleak in the finds department. We suffered through the heat and bone dry ground for hours with little to show. We reverted back to an...

    06/02 Yard hunting

    I got out for a little late afternoon yard hunting today. I hunted 2 or 3 great looking properties with absolutely nothing to show but clad. On the way home I decided to revisit a large property that has produced in the past. We usually give the property owner the relics that are tied to the...

    05/25 Yard hunting

    My multi silver streak died today, completely! I couldn't conjure up the shiny gray metal for the life of me but still found Tonto and Squanto. I experienced allot of falsing and had allot of trouble keeping a threshold. EMI didn't seem to be a problem. I tried numerous noise cancels, checked...

    05/22 Yard Hunting

    Squeezed in a little yard hunting today. I didn't find anything real old but netted a few keepers. Getting permission on a weekday is still tough as most people are at work, but a few retired folks in older houses were happy to accommodate. Pictured below are my finds for the day. My ML Sov...

    Yard hunting silver

    Today I drove back to the new hunting town and wasn't let down. The signs and first hand accounts of hunting pressure are real but I enjoy the challenge of hunted sites and continue to find virgin properties. Nothing terribly old surfaced today but I still walked away with a few keepers. I hope...
