    Pocket watch case, ring, buffalo, five wheat's and lots of fun.

    It was 2 deg.c with flurries. Still a very nice day. I went to a demo-ed house before it got demo-ed. It has a field stone with mortar foundation. Not much front yard, but I had fun in the side yard. [attachment 73840 11-23-07house.jpg] I had many targets that came up like this one. You can...

    Silver, nickel, foreign and five wheat's.

    I went for a two hunt after I got my honey do list done. Almost didn't make it. I didn't have my camera with me, but the house is older with a field stone and mortar foundation. I only did 1/3 of the lawn. Got this 1957 Silver dime. [attachment 73674 11-21-071957dime.jpg] A 1940 nickel a...

    Wheat's, mercury, war nickel, token, ring, Satellite dish

    There is no doubt I have more homes to detect then I have time. I am not waiting for them to demo the houses. If I see the power lines cut from the house I MD it. I did this one house today. There is one on each side of it and I am taking a picture from the yard of another. This house I think is...

    Snow was flying, but I wasn't crying.

    I went out for a 3 1/2 hour hunt. I was toasty and the snow felt good on my cheeks. It was 36 deg. and nothing was sticking. Recovering targets is a lot slower with gloves on. I MD'ed three vacant houses. It was a dark and gloomy day. I felt sad for the people that got thrown out of their homes...

    There are two bro that says a ring is a ring.

    Well if a ring is a ring, then this is a ring. It is not made to be adj. It broke with jagged edge's. It is copper or brass. [attachment 73038 11-14-07ring.jpg] Then a wheat is a wheat and an IH is an IH. Soaking over night didn't help these. I used Comet and scrubbed them this morning. Took a...

    If you were wondering, I have the answer.

    What is in a WV shelter cave? If you are wondering what a shelter cave is? It is a hard rock outcropping what you can get under to get out of the rain. Most are a few feet in depth. In WV most are sandstone and are nothing spectacular. Except this one 30 miles from my house. Last time I was...

    When I find a coin older than me, I'm happy. When I find one older than Uncle Willy, I'm thrilled!!

    My mother called me to tell me they demo-ed two more houses today. The front of the houses were on the street and the back of the houses had a 10 ft. yard. The middle of the property was the collapsed house. They were 10 ft. apart. Not much to MD. I worked the one house while the workers were...

    I need a musket ball expert!!!

    I wanted to take my autistic daughter outside on such a beautiful day. She just sit around the house and that is not healthy for her. So I took her to a park where we both could get a little exercise. [attachment 71952 10-31-07003waveteck.jpg] I was swinging while she was swinging. Got the...

    I this a bell?

    It is copper or brass. When I dug it up and it was full of mud, I thought it was a pipe fitting. After cleaning out the mud It looked like a bell. It is not threaded and is slightly beveled, so it can't be a pipe fitting. Possibly the hole on the top was for a handle. It is 1 1/8" tall and OD at...

I pp over it and had a faint signal. Dug and got me another wheat. PP again and found another wheat. total of...

    An open hole is a portal to the past.

    I always like getting up early to MD. It's the coolest part of the day. There was a light drizzle, but it seemed to set a peaceful mood to things. As it got brighter I could see the deer in the fields with the beautiful fall colors. I went to an important railroad town from days going by. It...

    I don't care what you say, I have got my marbles!

    Things have slowed at the demo-ed houses. They demo them in groups as money is alloted. There was a volley ball court across the street from a demo-ed house and couldn't pass it up. If what I found in the sand was on the beach, I might of had a heart attack! [attachment 71341...

    We went to bridge day, Imagine a bridge that went from one mountain top to the other. I am standing on that bridge, taking this picture. [attachment 71176 10-20-07onbridge.jpg] So why would someone jump from a soild bridge... [attachment 71177 10-20-07065twojumped.jpg] Into an abyss...

    If the FCC regulates how powerful a detector can transmit........

    Is it possible to get a more powerful detector outside the US? I read where a country couldn't sell their detector new outside of their country. Maybe it has lead paint on it. If it was better, could I buy one used? I am trying to think outside the box or maybe the border.

    It's a good day to hit the beach Bill.

    I heard the winds there are 80 miles an hour and the waves are 30 ft. off shore. Good beach erosion. Get up early in the morning and beat Monte to the loot.:detecting:

    1913 cent, buffalo? 1896 nickel, token= good day

    Uncle Willy knows his stuff. When he speaks I listen, I have heard him say most things are found in the top 6". He is right. He said who would want to dig 2ft. for something? I would Besides the Id would be right on for half that dept. When they take off the top 4 to 6" I find the good stuff. I...

    I'm due for some silver coins instead of IH's with cancer on them.

    I was out MDing the demo-ed houses. I don't keep the trash and I don't care how big my holes are. [attachment 70857 Mydc0002bighole.jpg] That hole was where someone dug a bush out. I find a lot of jar lids. I check the hole out carefully. I found this one under a brick. [attachment 70858...

    It looked better in concrete.

    Two days of cleaning didn't help the 1893 nickel. [attachment 70728 10-15-071893.jpg] This is the dirty total at a demo-ed house I MD'ed. I dug much more, but I threw the trash down where I found it. They come by the next day and scrape it all up. With all the pocket watch parts I find, I...

    I dug up an 1893 nickel. It looks like it is encased in concrete.

    At first I couldn't tell what it was. It looked like a concrete disk the size of a nickel. It isn't concrete, but it seems like it. I have been soaking it in hot peroxide for two days now. I have got half of it off. Any suggestions?
