    Pre -1920 school

    I have a set of 1920 topo's. This school was on it. It doesn't exist today and sat in what now is a field. I need to return when the grass is cut. It was up to my knees and after an hour I called it quits. I was also retrieving targets in poison ivy. Fortunately I rarely get it. I have...

    I won't let a newbie out do me!! Now this is some trash!!

    I went to a town that seems to incorporate old foundations with newer buildings. The houses were close together. When they tear down a building, the neighbor cleans the lot up and makes it part of his yard. There still are big stone foundations in the yard, but it is mowed and sometimes has...

    Keep at it and you newbies can have finds like mine.:rofl:

    I went to the old park to MD today. It is like a walk in the woods. [attachment 65444 8-12-07park.jpg] The big problem here is the ground. It is the worst place that I MD because of ground mineralization. I can't go deep and my id is wacky. Coal is everywhere. This is a typical picture of the...

    Can foil be called nitro?

    If so , I was about to do a dance over a piece of foil. It was shinning good in my digger. Around here you appreciate what you can get. These people just don't lose many rings. I thought I had gold. [attachment 65226 8-10-07trash.jpg] I mded a ball park and dug everything. You can see the...

    The gov't image of us is we are the bad guys.

    [attachment 65161 7-26-07cwfort.jpg] It is evident everywhere I go. This is a picture of a Union fort I visited two weeks ago. This is part of the wall coming into the fort. It is in the middle of the national forest. There are no buildings around, just trees. It is in the middle of nowhere and...

    Muddy hunt in the park.

    It has been raining every afternoon. Tonight is no exception. I MDed the football practice field. I was hoping for some gold, but it eluded me. [attachment 65156 8-9-07muddytotal.jpg] [attachment 65157 8-9-07total.jpg]

    Free presidential coins!!

    I never figured out the free part. This was not a paid advertisement, but an article in the news paper. It said you get a year of never-circulated presidential coins(4 coins) free for $8 from the world Reserve. See what I mean,free? I gave them a call. With shipping it cost $12.95 for the 4...

    Day at the park

    Got up early to go to the park, because later I had to be at the hospital. My mother had a knee replacement. She will be dancing soon. Been kind of muddy , but the digging is easy. [attachment 65049 8-8-07dirtytotal.jpg] After I cleaned it up a bit, I had 20 quarters and 24 dimes. The total...

    My nothing.

    Why did the turkey cross the road? There was a bunch of them. By the time the camera turned on they were about going. [attachment 64992 8-7-07turkey.jpg] Haven't done much MDing lately. Been doing family things. My autistic daughter is into fishing. She loves it and fortunately we have a...

    You don't need a water MDer for this stream

    I did two hours at Doc's old house today. Nothing great, but had fun. Here is the trash total. [attachment 64348 7-31-07total.jpg] One wheat hasn't cleaned up yet, so it is still soaking. The small ball is lead. The other one isn't made out of metal. I found it in one of my holes I dug. It is...

    Diamonds? Mystery pieces and a war nickle. Need ID help.

    I MDed my buddy's office (old house) today from 1pm. to 4pm. I MDed at that time in Fl. why not here, it is a lot cooler. I am almost finished MDing it with the sniper. I will go over the yard with the stock coil next. I know there is more good stuff deeper. Many of my targets were 4" to 6"...

    One 1896 IH

    I MDed my buddies office today for about 2 hours. I need to remember to ask him how old that place is. A neighbor told me there was a political rally in the 40's here. A band played on the porch and the yard was full of dignitaries. [attachment 63543 7-23-07Docsplace.jpg] The big iron thing in...

    I have found the deepest coin yet with the Ace.

    I didn't do serious MDing like I thought I was going to do in this cave. I was doing what I could to survive. It was a terrible thing to do to the Ace. Water is floating in the air and dripping off everything. I had the Ace's coat on with hand warmers tucked under it. The cave is 6 miles long...

    Old, new and "Oz"

    I went to an old friend's house. When you move back into an area after 16 years everybody is an OLD FRIEND. I have to remake friendships all over again. It wasn't his house that he lived in, it was his office. It was an old house. A very big old house in town. I didn't have my camera for taking...

    Two wheat's, one silver and a ring.

    I told my wife this is a sign for me to go MDing. [attachment 62510 7-11-07Sign.jpg] I went to a playground that was once the location of an old house. I didn't do so well in the playground. I noticed where the driveway was and this place had an easement. It felt good to be MDing in an...

    Mini trip= sapphires,rubies, emeralds and gold

    Went to visit an elderly woman friend in NC. She had an extra house on the property that we stayed in. It sat at the foot of the Smoky Mt. Mostly visited, but took a day to spend touring the mountains. While there we stopped at a gem mines to try our luck. For $25 total we could dig all the dirt...

    Wee silver and lots of clad

    I left the house at 6 am. to MD the ball park for three hours. The first thing I noticed was this big dog track. It is as big as my hand. [attachment 61989 7-7-07bdog.jpg] The next thing I noticed was the drought is over. [attachment 61990 7-7-07mud.jpg] This is the whole total. [attachment...

    I thought I was going to collect big after the 4 th.

    It seemed like it was just going to be a little mist today. So I went MDing at the park. Because of the mist no one was at the main ball field. This was my chance to MD it. That field is busy even in the early morning. It has the big bleachers and all the big games are played on it. They always...

    Mysterious green rock from Blue Hole.

    I found it at Blue Hole. It is green with purple in the corner where a little of it had broken off. It is also heavier than a normal rock. [attachment 61790 7-4-07grrock.jpg] I took it to my dad's house today. He didn't know what is was. We put an earth magnet to it and it is slightly...

    In search of Blue Hole(beach)

    A buddy asked me yesterday afternoon if I wanted to help him find Blue hole. He said it was a nice stretch of river and wanted to take some pictures of it. I said as long as I can take my MD. He said fine, he just wanted to get out of the house. We got to the area in about 20 mim. No MDing here...
