    Anyone here from the Wyalusing, PA area?

    I'd like to talk to you about some of the potential sites in that area. It would be a day trip for me, about 2 hours away, not a place I would hunt regularly. Steve

    Waiting for the rain.

    The ground here in my part of Eastern PA has been bone dry for weeks. The grass is already turning brown. There's not a drop of rain in the 10 day forecast and, if that's not enough, we're just heading into a week-long heat wave. The best I could do today was watching Gold Fever on the Outdoor...

    Has anyone else ever experienced this?

    While digging a target I rest my detector on the ground. It rests on the heel of the coil and the bottom of the arm rest. Sometimes when I resume the search all of the backround chatter seems very muffled and whispery, almost echoeing. If I run over a solid target it will pop right through all...

    Old farm gives up another silver dime.

    This coin was directly under a big tree root, about four inches in diameter. I was lucky to get it out without scratching it all up.

    4 trips to an old farmstead.

    The house was built in the year 1800 but I could only manage one oldie....... so far.

    Display case

    I just finished the case I've been working on for all of the finds I've made at the place where I grew up. Most of these finds were made with a Garrett except for the merc and the peso. [attachment 163932 display-1.jpg][attachment 163934 display-3.jpg] The inlayed seated dollars are copies...

    A fine display

    I finally got around to making a display case for all of the finds I made at the old home place. It took me almost as long to build this as it did to find all of the items inside. I've since traded my Garrett for a Minelab but since all but two of these finds were made with Garretts I thought it...

    Beelzebub in the tub

    The horns were my daughters idea, the red eye and the face he made were purely coincidental. My wife gets the credit for this picture.

    The Pennsylvania Peso

    My Dad was a truck driver most of his life and on a few occasions, in the early sixties, he hauled knitting mills into Mexico and stayed to oversee their set up. I'm in the process of building a display case for all of the worthy finds I've made at the old homeplace and I needed one more nice...

    I picked up a worn out old lady this morning and took her back to my place.:cheekkiss:

    Snuck out for about an hour and a half this morning to an old, pounded church picnic grove. The first coin I dug was the indian head so I was pretty satisfied with days finds. The two older wheats were icing on the cake till I popped out a silver on my way back to the car. She's been rode hard...

    Cell phone towers?

    Are there any adverse effects while detecting in close proximity to cell phone phone towers? I'm looking at a place that should have a lot of potential but there is a cell tower on the property about 100 yards from the house. Thanx, Steve

    Interesting little find from 1926

    I found this at an old homestead. It may be hard to read so........THE SESQUI-CENTENNIAL PHILA. 1776 TO 1926 150 YEARS OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. This looks like one of those deals where you insert a penny and crank it through the press to make a token but I'm not sure if they were around back...

    11 cents and a new lease on hope.

    With so much iron junk everywhere I hunt I gave some thought to setting the SE up a little differently to try and get away from all of that pesky chirping. This morning I went to my dad's place where I would have sworn on a stack of bibles there were no more silver coins in the yard. I set the...

    Flat button

    A friend hooked me up with a new spot yesterday. This homestead dates way back, possibly late 1700's. He pounded the place pretty hard and said that it produced alot of old coins so I have hope that the explorer can find a few more. The house is unoccupied but the lawn is kept mowed. I went back...

    First silver with the SE

    Just a Merc but it's better than a handful of clad. I found this at a homestead that I hit many times and I know I passed over it with my previous detector, a fine machine, but it just couldn't separate it from the surrounding junk. Most of the places I hunt are riddled with iron junk and it's...

    First finds with the SE

    The indian came from a different site than the clad. I also dug some junk but no silver. I can see this is going to take some getting used to. I was getting alot of high pitched chirps just after a null and they would not repeat so I passed them off as iron and moved on. When I get some more...

    New to the SE

    I recently picked up a used SE w/Pro coil and after 3 years of using Garrett detectors.......I'm lost again. Little if anything is relative between the two. Bare in mind that my headphones don't arrive until Monday so I'm really spitting into the wind but I am taking it out to practice every...

    Just about to get started.

    Hello all, I'm trading in my GTI 2500 towards a used SE, just reading about the various tones and settitngs is giving me cold feet but I plan on gowing slow and taking how ever much time is needed to get a handle on the Minelab. Since I started detecting, about three years ago, I've been going...

    Funny nitro today.

    Hit a small park on my way home from a different spot. The stop sign hit solid as a half dollar from every angle but I got a laugh out of it at least.

    #2 on my wish list ! ! :jump:

    Found this today at the site of an old tavern that dates back to, at least, the mid 1800's 1818 Large Cent.
