    And from out of the Earth two more eagles arose...

    Tonight's adventure involved advanced backwoods driving, jogging, sweating, climbing and recovering some long lost history. I was out of work at five this evening and so I was short on time before dark. However, I was feeling lucky and decided to go back to the hard to reach foundation that...

    Silver, silver, and more silver and other interesting things

    I battled the rain, lightening, bugs and weeds today to find lost treasures. I decided to take my mountain bike in order to get to the location quicker. Unfortunately, I found the trail had not been cut in a couple seasons so the weeds were high, wet and nasty. In the end I made it to the old...

    After thirty years the wading is over

    I wanted to get out detecting today for a bit, but didn't feel like being out in a field under the sun sweating, so I figured I would go back in the water like I used to when I first got my CTX. I went back to a stream that had produced a handful of modern coinage a couple years ago and...

    an eagle beltplate, shoe buckle, and lots of sweat

    CTTodd and I made sure that we picked one of hottest and stickiest days in the foreseeable future to climb up some serious hills to get to a couple of foundations. We haven't been out together in quite a few weeks so regardless of the hazy, hot and humid weather it was nice to be detecting...

    An Afternoon Button Bonanza

    Research = Finding a nice Copper and buttons at a virgin location:twodetecting:

    It was another hot sticky and humid day out in the woods. I went back to the foundation that I had discovered last week. and I was able to find another large cent dated 1817 and a bunch of nice buttons. Research had indicated that there was another foundation in the area. So, when things quieted...

    Fun Day of Finds in a Colonial Field

    Yesterday was a great day to be out detecting... If you don't mind hot, sticky, humid, weather while standing in the middle of a field digging colonial coins... Myself, CtTodd​, Todd Hiltz​, and Dave Wise​ had a chance to get together again and do some field hunting this time out. The last time...

    Run through the woods for finds

    I'm tired. I felt like I was running a marathon through the woods today. It included dragging myself up cliffs and then sliding back down again like I was wearing skis, balancing across logs over streams, and jogging through the woods following the stone walls. It paid off. I made it out of...

    Detecting with Sally Mander

    My friend Sally Mander and I weren't going to let a little rain stop us from getting out detecting. In fact, Sally seems to prefer the wet weather. She killed it today with the new 4 millimeter sniper coil that she is using. She does need some help with the recovery though. Doesn't she look...

    A great day detecting at Digging in New England

    It looked like everyone was having a great time at yesterday's event. It was a long ride for CTTodd and I, about three hours each way. I got to meet some people I only knew through Facebook which was nice. My best finds of the day were a King George, some buttons a musket ball, some silver, and...

    First detecting of 2015 pays off

    It was chilly out there. But chipping through the concrete like dirt will warm you up real quick. I ended up finding a large cent, a flat button and a tombac button. One unedited video of the large cent recovery is uploading and will be found here...

    Late season mixed bag

    Hi Folks Hope everyone has been well. It has been tough to get out lately but I was able to make it out there for about five hours today. The ground was not frozen and the temperatures were in the high thirties or so. I had to hike about two miles into the site and ended up recovering one no...

    A beautiful autumn morning detecting, discovered a Large Cent and More

    I went back to where I have been detecting off and on for a couple of years. Unfortunately the area is not cut regularly like the other fields that surround it so it has been tough to be thorough. This morning I was out there bright and early and discovered a nice 1844 Large Cent, 1910 wheat, a...

    An hour in Buckle Field

    Todd and I had a very productive hunt this afternoon. Several weeks ago I had sent Todd a lead on a place that my research lead me to believe showed some promise. Yesterday he checked in with a very nice landowner and got us permission. It is a field now, but at least 164 years ago it was a...

    CTTodd.. Detectorist and magician..

    It was a beautiful evening in the woods. Todd amazed me by demonstrating a wanton disregard of the laws of physics and showing how the rules don't apply to him as they do for the rest of us when recovering targets. Somehow, Todd was removing numerous 12 inch rocks from a 6 inch hole. I...

    A Great Day Detecting

    Once again research helped turn a nondescript field into a place to dig treasure in the form of early American and British coinage . I'm very fortunate to know some great detectorists that also have a lot of connections with land owners for one reason or another, and are kind enough to sometimes...
