    Back to digging in the Dirt ...

    Hi Guys, I've spent the last three months detecting in water up to my eyeballs so I haven't had anything to post on the Explorer forum. Now that the weather has cooled a bit and we've had some rain to soften up the ground ... I decided to blow the dust off my E2 and head back to the local...

    This Weekends' ATG Lake Finds

    Hi Guys, Here's a few more AT Gold finds from the lake bottom. I keep thinking our honey hole is played out but it keeps proving me wrong. There seems to be a never ending supply of musket balls. They appear to be a mix of pistol balls and buck 'n ball shot. The area has a history of...

    August AT Gold Finds

    Hi Guys, Here's a few recent AT Gold water finds. I had some initial concerns about the AT's holding their own as a water machine (Leaks and such). I can attest to the fact that I have put my AT Gold though the mill in our local lakes ... Most of its active life has been spent completely...

    AT Gold - First Finds :thumbup:

    Hi Guys, It's been a month since I purchased my AT Gold from Bart at Big Boys Hobbies (Great guy to deal with!). I purchased the machine for two basic reasons: To find small gold jewelry and chains in the water and to serve as a back up for my Excalibur. The ATG sure didn't disappoint on...

    A few digs from the last couple of hunts

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds from the last couple of hunts. I had to put my detector up for a couple of weeks so I could spend some time basking in the Caribbean sun (We all have to make sacrifices from time to time :biggrin:) The Explorer gang seems to have been busy while I was away ... some...

    A few more finds from the "Bullet" park

    Hi Guys, Here's a few more finds from todays hunt in the one of our downtown parks. I don't mind finding bullets as long as they're in the ground. It's the ones in the air that concern me. HH DD

    Finally!

    Hi Guys, After countless hours of mindless detector swinging, I finally found my first seated quarter. She's not pretty but she looked really good to me. It was also nice to see a few older Indians come out of the dirt including a '64 (no L), a '66, a '72, and a '79. I also dug a quarter size...

    AT Pro vs Small Gold Chains

    Hi Guys, Has anyone had any experience with the AT Pro finding small gold chains? I've been contemplating buying one for fresh water hunting. The places I hunt have been hammered pretty hard so most of the gold jewelry that remains is really small. Also ... was wondering if the AT Gold might be...

    Digs from yesterdays hunt ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds from yesterdays' hunt. Nothing too special but I sure appreciated the opportunity to get out for a couple of hours and sample the spring weather we're having. The mystery disk appears to be a KG copper that lost 95% of its identity .. also found a slightly flattened...

    Hazards of Metal Detecting :biggrin:

    Hi Guys, A couple of my hunting buddies & I decided to brave Saturdays' howling winds and do some detecting. I've found that hunting in inclement weather always adds a dimension of excitement to the hobby (Thunder storms are a blast!). I was having a good time searching around the base of some...

    A few weekend finds ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds from this past weekend. The ground wasn't very kind to copper coins but I did manage to dig up a couple of Indians that were in fair condition. I also managed to find my first Carson City dime. The bullets are probably from the local homies trying to blow each other...

    A few bulldozer finds ....

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds that came to the surface complements of some local construction work. The site was dug up several weeks before we got to it. It had already been hit by a few other detectorists so my expectations were low. I guess they felt sorry for me and left a few targets behind...

    Neither wind nor rain nor gloom of night ....

    Hi Guys, No matter how rough the weather gets, nothing keeps a determined (and foolish) detectorist such as myself from digging in the dirt. Saturday's weather here in upstate NY was something less than stellar ... 50MPH winds and rain. But the urge to go detecting was greater than common...

    A few finds from this past Saturday

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds from Saturday's hunt. It's encouraging to see that not all of the silver in the area has been vacuumed up. The inexhaustible supply of wheaties also continues. HH DD

    Something different ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a couple of coins from this past Sundays' hunt. The large cent is counter-stamped "Mc.I". It was only about an inch deep so it pays not to walk over those shallow targets. I'm not sure how an Aussie 1/2 penny found its way to upstate New York but it's a first one I've seen. HH DD

    Finds from this past weekend ...

    Hi Guys, I decided to forgo water hunting this past weekend and go back to digging in the dirt. It looks like the wheatie population is still going strong, I managed to find another 50 on them. There was a couple of 1909's in the mix but no VDB's. It was nice to pop a few Indians out of the...

    Math lesson from last weekends hunt :pulltab:

    Hi Guys, Here's how the numbers add up from last weekends digs. I sure wish the ratio of pulltabs to gold was a little more like wheaties to silver. HH DD

    Decided to give the wheatie patch a rest ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds from what I've labeled the iron patch. (An endless supply of square nails mixed with hard packed gravel). I did manage to dig up my 1st Barber quarter for the year along with a badly corroded 1858 flying eagle cent. To add to the mix was a couple of flat buttons, a...

    Ring around the Rosie, Pocket full of wheaties

    Hi Guys, I managed to get out for a couple of hours after work today. No big finds .. just a Rosie and a small silver ring ... plus 20 more wheaties. There must be a wheatie fairy running around sprinkling these things everywhere. The supply seems to be endless. It's all good. HH DD
