    Golf balls = 1st silver of the year :detecting:

    I've been out only a couple times this year so far... Today was a nice day weatherwise and I decided to hit my favorite haunt after work for a couple hours. I started in a wooded area as the underbrush is starting to leaf out and my chances to hunt it for this year are dissapearing fast. I...

    ROAD TRIP!!! :detecting: Long Post!

    My life has been pretty dismal lately... going through a divorce, moving out on my own to a small apartment, and dealing with worsening health problems I had decided to do something I hadn't done in 8 years. Go cruise the country for a week long detecting trip. I had been sort of planning one...

    More gold and silver... but at a price! :thumbup:

    With my kid away at summer camp and a day off yesterday, I had ALL day long to do nothing but get out and enjoy the nice weather! I started at the old, extremely hunted out park. I didn't expect much of anything, I just like hunting there... Not 15 minutes into the hunt I get a very promising...

    More GOLD from the trash!!! :detecting:

    The heat has been unbearable lately and I almost didn't go out Sunday morning for a planned trip to my favorite park. I got there at the crack of dawn and decided to hunt 'til the heat got too bad. I concentrated on an older picnic area that is loaded with trash to try and get some silver. I...

    Recent Finds....

    I haven't been out much lately, but I hit the road in Western Illinois the weekend before last with the Guvner to see if any of my old sites had anything left in them. Hunting was tough and signals few and far between. I got lucky with some good targets though, as shown in the pic below. A nice...

    Forest Park gives up Seated Dime #100 finally!!! :buds:

    Cool windy day... showed up to my favorite park for another dance. Trying to find one more Seated Dime. A very daunting task anymore due to the destruction of a lot of productive ground during the past decade and a half of construction work and overhunting of what few areas are left with Seated...

    1st Trip Out This Year!:detecting::rant::clapping:

    Cabin fever finally drove me stark raving mad! Mad enough to want to go out in the 31 degree temperature with 15 mph winds and see how long I would last at my favorite park. I had my eye on some construction work a couple months ago and I went to check up on their progress. I had to park about...

    Meager finds today....

    Decided to hit my favorite park today and see if Bryce left me another 16D to find :wink: Then again, the area I hunted today was about the only area that had been mown in the past week and not a foot high in grass, but it was old ground. I pounded it good for 2 hours and bent to dig twice (did...

    15 Minute hunt = 1840 Seated Dime!!!:bouncy:

    I had a small trade show to attend after work tonight. My 4 year old tagged along to play with all the new tools on display and he had a blast! After making the rounds and leaving, I was surprised it was still daylight out. I took the long way back home just to drive with the windows down and...

    Took the path never travelled to a GRAND SLAM!!! :bouncy:

    It's been a while since I got out detecting.... but since the weatherman totally botched the forecast for the weekend, I decided to head out to my favorite park to tempt the rain gods. I brought my 4 year old son in tow with his very own digger to help out Dad. It never rained a drop! :clapping...

    Guvner tried to get me to meet up with the gang Saturday, but I have to work Saturdays and I coundn't break away.... All day at work Saturday I was drooling over the nice weather outside - I don't think I accomplished anything productive. I decided to go out Sunday to the ghetto parks to try for...

    Cabin Fever gets the best of me... 1st trip out in 5 months!!! :clapping:

    I almost forgot which end of the detector to hold! I haven't been out hunting since my trip to Massachusetts in October last year for Bob's hunt. Weather always didn't cooperate and I had too much other business that fell on my days off. a couple weeks ago I was laid up in bed for 6 days with a...

    Fall hunt report and LOTS of finds from MASS. :clapping:

    Just now got a chance to post my finds from the past weekend and at the fall hunt. First of all, a big thanks to Bob-NH for his effort in putting on a great hunt. The finds were slim, but it was a great day to enjoy the scenery, meet fellow detectorists from the forums, and hunt for some old...

    little off topic, but guaranteed to get a chuckle or two... :rofl:

    I got bored after a sleepless night, so I went through a lot of old detecting related files on my computer and ran across a little something that I wrote up years ago but never posted, so here it is: For the novice metal detecting enthusiast there is a lot of confusing or vague terminology...
