    13 wheat's, war nickel, old key, clay marble and a tribute to Mother's Day!!!

    This is the town where I have been MD'ing all week. Grafton WV. [attachment 90258 5-8-08mothers.jpg] This is where I want to MD next. Not the cemetery, the house in the center. [attachment 90259 5-8-08nationalcem.jpg] I have been spending time this week at the courthouse and tracking down...

    20 wheat's, 2 Indian Heads, war nickels, buffalo, tokens, Merc.= good day:detecting:

    There was an old restaurant that they demo-ed in another town near me. It was terrible MD'ing, but behind the restaurant was two old houses that got demo-ed also. It not pretty, but it was a beautiful day. I'll have to go back to finish MD'ing the place. Too much for one day. [attachment 89960...

    Wheat's, silver, Minnie ball, and a cop!!!

    I went to the demo-ed houses yesterday and after 5 targets a cop shows up. He wanted to know how I was doing. He said a neighbor called to report me around the houses. I told him I have been MD'ing for a year around these houses and never had anyone call the police on me. He wanted to talk...

    Day tripping

    We needed a day to chill out and get away. I passed all my testing for getting into the pipe fitter's union. That is the only outlet for doing pipe work in WV. I used the day to check out future MD'ing sites. First stop for my wife's sake: the glass factory. Gave us a personal demonstration and...

    AWHISTER, I saved a house for you to MD.

    I promise, I haven't MD'ed it. The yard and the easement is all yours. [attachment 88496 4-25-08atwhouse.jpg] This is what I MD'ed today. [attachment 88499 4-25-08houseoncorner.jpg] I thought this was a sign of things to come. [attachment 88497 4-25-08fourleaf.jpg] Nothing special, just a...

    Maybe I should be posting on another forum?

    Like relic. I thought I would go MD'ing in the woods before all the leaves came back on the trees. There was this house and shed I found as a kid. It is situated on top of a cliff above the hi-way. The shed was full of old glass bottles. My cousin and I trashed the place. There were lots of old...

    It was one of those week-ends that you say,

    "Well I had fun MD'ing and the weather was nice." I went to MD an old house that didn't produce like I thought it would. Memorials were 6"+ in that black soil. You can imagine were the wheat's were. My digger went into the soil like it was sponge cake. I went to many places MD'ing, well I walked...

    Kind of freaky.

    Article on Lost Treasure was talking about MD'ing ghost towns or nearly a ghost town. If you live in a big city, you hear people talking about your town all the time. I never hear much said about where I live. Who would, this place is a ghost town. This guy mentioned places I have friends that...

    I found a HUBLY!!

    A demo-ed house was vacated and I moved in. I was getting 6" deep green memorials cents. not a good sign. That means the good stuff is deeper. No relics or old pieces of metal. After 1 1/2 it was time to move on. This is the last house at the top of the hill. Not real old but it could hold some...

    Does anyone know of a decent jewelry scale?

    I cashed in a jar of coins today and I wanted to buy a jewelry scale. E-bay has all kinds of them. The funny thing is one scale I was looking at was $7 and at the guys store it was $24. Another place on E-bay had them for $3. I don't need one that cheep, but what is up with the price variations...

    Ring# 7---and guess what I found in my tumbler?

    I have been MD'ing over the last few days. I mainly have been in clad territory. I spent an hour looking for a RC helicopter part my dad lost in a crash over a trash dump that was under his side yard. He said it was aluminum because a magnet won't stick to it. Wrong. it was a 1" long stainless...

    I choose the path least traveled.

    It was a beautiful day in the mid 60's, so I headed for the park. [attachment 85658 3-31-08Bpark.jpg] I didn't want to go the places that have been MD'ed a 1000 times, so I took off through the woods. I found places that use to be part of the park, but they let the woods over grow it all. I...

    Are we a normal group of people?

    These are a few observations I made on this forum. We probably take our detectors out more than we take our wife's out. We talk to our detectors and some detectors talk back. We don't want anybody to bother us and want to be alone with our detectors. We don't want them to leave us. We miss them...

    Todays diggins with the Ace 250!!

    I Md'ed an excavation in an old part of town. They were moving a cable for the new road being built. I got my two cents worth. 1955-D and 1899 IH. [attachment 84921 3-25-08B2cents.jpg] Is it me or does it seem that spoons are the #1 find in flatware. This one is from a fancy hotel that ceased...

    Badge ID.

    I thought I would post this here, because it could be old or some of you might be old enough to have seen it.:rofl: It is from a residential area, but there have been cw finds in this area. This place is a mixture of modern and old finds. Even a canon ball three lots over. When I was 7 my...

    " Silver and gold "----------PLATED:thumbdown:

    It was a so so day. I only found one wheat. I should have done better at the houses I MD'ed today, but that's what keep it all interesting. Other days it's I can't believe what I found. The two houses I MD'ed were from the 40's. They had a house behind them from the 1800's. The spoon says...
