    I need to get paid for MD'ing.

    On the way home from looking for that JOB that would pay me for MD'ing. I stopped off at an old school that is still being use to culminate my detecting skills. I had 1 1/2 hours to MD. It is really old, my mother went to it, but it is not as old as Bill. I had a buddy that use to MD there a...

    I dug everything for three hours at this park. Can you believe it, no rings.

    Instead off MD'ing an old house, I thought I would go for the gold. I went to a large park and dug everything in the jewelry mode. Well, I didn't even get a silver. I am done with the parks. Now, back to the old. This is my total minus a lotttt of trash. $5.70. [attachment 77573...

    Year in review. Other wise my totals for the year.:detecting:

    With the type of MD'ing I do I will never get the most coins, nor lots of rings. Although I get some of each. Some places I MD'ed took me time to get there. Not like stopping off at the neighborhood school. I am a dreamer and like adventure. [attachment 77127 11-10-07dancave.jpg] It has been...

    I went MD'ing today & I'm depressed.

    Overconfident I know. I went to the people that own the log home I posted Yesterday. I have to go back a little. In Oct. I ask them if I could MD an old school on their property. The man said he would have to ask his mother. I got back to him today and we talked for 20 minutes. I thought we were...

    I found an Irish 'calladagh' ring.

    I stopped by a grade school for a short time MD'ing on my way home. The wood chips were very clean, not even foil. The grass held the loot. I found this 'calladagh' ring. It is made in Ireland and is 925. It is often used as a wedding ring. In a nutshell the meaning of the Claddagh ring could...

    I just wasn't focus today. I did find Viagra.

    I went to a house that has been abandon for years. I went into it looking for a cache. The whole place was nasty and filled with trash. There were even dead animals. It was an old place, but with all the trash I couldn't even find anything in the lawn. I then decided to take it easy and do a...

    I am not thinking about next year, cause I not done with this year!!

    There was a pretty cool breeze blowing. Long pants and a sweatshirt was the attire for the day. I thought I was in California. The finds wasn't so great, but I had a great day and didn't want to quit MD'ing. It got late and I was the ninja Md'er in the dark. Finding targets only by sound and the...

    It was 55 F. today, with a silver lining.

    I took the family to Wheeling yesterday for the Christmas light show. Today I get to play. It was a beautiful day, so off I went. I spent two hours at this old school. It was mostly asphalt except for the back. It was very bad soil almost all coal cinders. I would try to pp and it would null...

    I like Burl Ives' song,"Silver and Gold." Yep!!

    I think it is so Christmas. I went back to the house I was at yesterday. I found a muddy coin that I thought was really old. everything I dig is covered in mud. I flipped it over and there it was; a big moose. One of those foreign coins. Not bad though. It was a 1941 Canadian quarter. It's...

    You can always get warm, it's harder to cool off.

    I think I like winter hunting. As long as the ground isn't frozen and there isn't snow on top. It was -2 C during this hunt. I was use to the heat of FL., but the cool air feels so much nicer. It was weird, but I found a ring with concrete in the middle of it. [attachment 75585...

    I love finding nickels, even if they look like play money!!:thumbup:

    I knew it was going to be my lucky day when took my Ace 250, turned it on, picked out my program, set all my settings and ground balanced.:rofl: Low and behold there by the coil was a four leaf clover. We are having a heat wave and I am going MD'ing even if it keeps raining. This place was demo...

    I thought it was over ,but here's the rest of the story. Marble mystery part 2, "The Finally."

    The old man told me a guy made them that worked at O.I. glass. The guy didn't make them, he appropriated them from work. My maintenance man( aka marble expert) told me O.I. made them for gas driers. Ones in the gas and oil fields. We have lots of gas wells around here. They were made from Coke...

    I still live in the south and we get breaks from the frozen ground.

    Yep, I'm 20 miles south of the Mason Dixon line. We are having a reprieve from the cold. It's California weather today. It didn't get over 50 F. Lots of rain yesterday and last night. It did a good job on melting most of the snow. Spent most of the day working on the special Olympic's float for...

    Marble mystery solved.

    It is no big deal, but I solved a mystery that I had mentioned in one of my posts. I keep finding these large marbles in the area of the demo-ed houses. I lived in the area when I was 6-8 years old and would find these marbles. In my years of travel I have never seen them anywhere else. When I...

    It has been raining for two days. It stopped. It's snow now.

    Now I can go MD'ing. My wife thinks it funny and laughed when she saw the snow. I said well the ground isn't frozen yet. It is -2 c. It kind of felt good taking the garbage can out to the curve barefoot in the fresh snow, watching the deer running across the field. The extreme home make over...

    Sixteen wheat's and what do you get?

    A great time. I did assessment of the house and saw that they entered it from the side. It has a block foundation. We had friends that lived here in the 50's so I was hoping to find a few wheat's and some silver. I noticed the farther I went up this street the fewer old coins I would find. Here...

    No it's not great, but it is what I found today. At least I can sill MD!

    It was 45 deg. F and sunny! Sweatshirt weather. I MD'ed these two houses and I thought I was at a park. Pull tabs, clad and can slaw everywhere. No fun for me. The last half hour I went to the place across the street that I hit last week. I had to find something besides trash. I jump into the...
