    Silver shoe buckle updated!

    Hey guys. Found a silver shoe buckle at one of my Loyalist sites over the summer. Cleaned it up and got a positive ID on it. It's a handmade silver Officers shoe buckle and dates from 1760-1780! Thanks for looking.

    A pleasant surprise!

    Hey guys . Decided to go swing the coil for an hour at my go-to spot. The Etrac seems to be acting up a bit. It's falsing a little more often, even though I have not touched my settings. Oh well, at least I know it still works. First signal was a screaming 09-42. Ended up being a nail. Second...

    Prayer request

    Hello folks. My father was recently diagnosed with colon cancer on his 64th birthday. He has been through the usual horrendous testing and is having surgery on Tuesday. There some things we already know: he will need a colostomy and NG tube, chemo and radiation. What we don't know, is if the...

    Last two relic hunts

    Went out twice in the past two weeks. I was really hoping for some silver and old copper, but instead found some neat relics. A few honorable mentions amongst the pile...a BIG A$$ bullet casing from WWII site, a train car from London Toy company, an old two prong fork, a hunk of leather with...

    Deep water detector

    Hey guys. I'm wonder what would be the better machine to buy for underwater detecting at about 30' or deeper. It would be used in both fresh and salt water. Thank you in advance!

    I created a monster!!

    A friend of mine uses a department store brand detector, and has had it for several months now. To be honest, I didn't even know he was into the hobby. He kept it pretty hush hush, and so did I. He came over and our wives got talking, about how big of geeks we were...right away we looked at each...

    Indian and ???silver

    Hey folks. Went to my go-to spot that I have pounded for the past year first step after turning on the Etrac, I got a wonky bouncy signal going from 09-41 to 11/12-47. Pulled an 1899 Indian Head then about 2" deeper in the same hole, a piece of something that I THINK is silver. It reads solid...

    Caught my first Fishie

    Went out for a solid 4 hour hunt today at the site that produced the 78th Regiment button the other day. Today, I scored a large flat button with a weird bust on the front and no back mark. Then I found a piece of a button...just enough to identify it as a 74th Regiment button. The 74th Regiment...

    78th Regiment button

    Went out with a friend for a quick hunt between rain showers and scored two flat one piece buttons and a first for me: 78th Fraser's Highlanders button. Can't wait for a nice day to get out for a full day hunt at that spot!

    Short hunt---silver#8

    Went door knocking tonight for a bit. Got permission for an old home, with an even older foundation beside it. Managed two dinky cars, a buckle, parasol cap, copper bracelet/bangle and a 1929 dime. Going back again soon to hunt the front lawn!

    "Recreational" hunt

    Got out for a two hour hunt today that produced some odd finds...well, for me anyway. Got the usual handful of clad and a few wheaties, then a 1959 dinky car that I can't seem to find at the moment, then it was a solid 12:46 on the Etrac. I was thinking "silver dime?!"...nope! A Zippo! Moving...

    My last post

    Hey folks. As the title reads, this is my last post. This hobby has become an addiction for me, and has caused great grief in my home life. I am hanging it up. It was fun, but its got to come to an end, for the sake of my family and friends. Best of luck to you all. Cheers Chris

    1787-88 Mass. Colonial Cent!

    Hey guys! I went out for a hunt before work and man was it productive! Didn't yield a lot of finds, but what it did yield was nice. First target was an 1899 Indian Head penny...next was a Lower Canada Half Penny Token ( in about the same condition as the last one) an old Auto License tag, a...

    A first for me today!

    Hey folks! Was swinging the coil in a field that was once inhabited by a loyalist, who died on the property in 1832, at the age of 90. This gold plate or wash over copper ring was about 8" down and displayed 10:36 on the Etrac. Thanks for looking guys!

    Silver #6 in the hole!

    Went for a hunt today...first place was a bust, so changed venues and approach and went door knocking. Gained permission on a nice old home. Spent an hour in the front yard and pulled some keepers. That is the second 1946 50er I've found! Popular year lol. 1918 wheatie, 1919s wheatie and a Saint...

    Quick hunt produces an oldie

    Went for a quick hunt before the rain started. Nailed a 1940 penny, buckle, handle off of a knife or razor that I have soaking, oil lamp parts and an 1815 Lower Canada Half Penny Token. Thanks for looking, and HH

    Silver #5 and some great keepers

    Had an awesome day of digging with Diggin w Gus today. He introduced me to door knocking, and it was well worth it! First under the coil was the 1920 Merc, then the 18?? US LC and finally the 1891 IH. Hit a green space, but it was terrible. Was digging up a clear penny signal...ended up being a...
