    Alas and Alack.

    I'd like to detect today but unfortunately my delicate back is a disaster area. Woe is me. Perhaps a brief nap. My GTI 2500 sits in the corner leering at me like a tin plated traitor. Z.....er.....Chris If anybody gets the reference above you have my admiration. Seriously. We had a foot...

    It's probably too late for this but......................

    what happened to the Christmas gift exchange? I just thought about it today. Chris

    65 and sunny!

    I was in short sleeves today on December 3rd. Sadly, this warm spell is only supposed to last one day. I didn't have the time or desire to drive to a good site. I went to a park in a nearby city that is the heavily hunted park in the area. Last time I was there was in 2007. Most of the...

    55 and sunny on 11/29.

    Unusual weather for these parts in November. Decided that hitting my goal of 2000 coins over last year would be a piece of pie. Pumpkin, I suppose. Not much to say about the loot. That one goldish ring had me hoping for about half a second. The other junk ring is iron but was in the ground...

    It's beginning to set in.

    I just looked at my notebooks for 2007 and 2008. In 2007 my last hunt was on 11/28. In 2008 my last hunt was 12/1. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice. Possibly my last hunt? I had short hunts on Thursday and today. All clad and junk. Plenty of both too. I was certainly hoping for...

    Better than yesterday!

    I am now getting the feeling that every hunt might be my last in 2009. While it's supposed to be nice tomorrow, I have plans that are going to keep me from detecting. Weather guys say more seasonal weather (cold and wet) coming in some time around Thursday. I have a tradition of detecting on...

    A fix for UW. (Awful Day)

    Probably my worst hunt of the year. One hour 15 minutes in a pasture that serves as a sled hill during the winter. I guess I wasn't into it today because I usually do better there. One of those pennies is a wheat. The feather is sterling silver and part of an earring I guess. No nickels...

    Since it takes so long for John's copy of LT to reach him.

    My homage to a real treasure hunter. [attachment 145471 100_4246.JPG] Chris I used the word masochist as a compliment. I was between that word and die-hard.

    Unusual Weather.....Usual Hunts (Question for John in West VA or other H202 users.) (Long Post Alert!)

    I had a decent hunt yesterday at my favorite honey hole. Looking for a silver coin or two and all I managed was 9 wheats. I met a fellow detectorist there and he told me he had seem me there several times and wanted to say hello. I asked how many times he had been there and he guessed 5 or 6...

    A chunk of my new detector loot is gone........ (OFF TOPIC, you've been warned.)

    We all know gold is at an all time high. Lately I've sold a few gold coins and scrapped most of my jewelry. I certainly did not plan to buy any gold at these levels. Yesterday a co-worker phoned me and was very excited. She said she had found some coins in an old box and asked if I would...

    Another Milestone.

    I tried to make this goal yesterday. Boy did I try! I ran out of steam and the weather changed on me so I figured it would have to wait another week. I woke up today with loads of energy. For some reason all the clocks in my house were off an hour but I remained calm and headed out. Big...

    I need some help with that class ring I found.

    I found a class ring and posted about it a week ago. It is marked Bale and Astralite. It is white in color. I was testing some gold today and for a laugh I tested it. It tested as 10k. I think if it was 10k it would be marked 10k but it could be a funny alloy that is confusing my gold...

    Equipment You Should Have at Home.

    Since its been coming up lately. Must Haves (in no particular order.) 1. Small digital scale. 15-25 dollars. Weigh jewelry. Weigh coins to see if they are genuine. (Yes I've come across a few counterfeit US and foreign silver coins.) 2. Red Book. A Guide Book of US Coins. 10-15...

    Good find and some good news.

    I think it's Gene who finds a lot of small gold on the foil notch. My memory ain't what it used to be so if it's somebody else, my apologies. That said I dig a lot of foil signals and I don't think I've ever gotten a keeper on that notch. Today I did, sort of. It was a strong signal and...

    Poll: Do you have any MD rituals or superstitions?

    I have two. I never end a hunt on a bad target and I try to make my last find of the day a clad quarter. I bet 90% of the time a clad quarter is my final dig of the day. I always wear my lucky hat even though I have hundreds to choose from including 3 or 4 from Garrett. What are yours...

    You just never know.

    I am fixated on yet another goal. I am trying to reach 30,000 lifetime coins by the end of 2009. I figure I need to average 70 coins a hunt for the number of hunts I think I'll be able to get in before winter arrives. It has been, cold, snowy, and rainy lately too. I got out twice yesterday...

    I can't believe my little old dime is a find of the month!

    Just as a FYI here is my original testimonial as I wrote it. It was edited to fit in "The Searcher." I purchased my first modern metal detector in 1999 and used it about five or six times a year. I managed to accumulate around 500 coins and a few rings. When it stopped working, I shopped...

    Just a Perfect Day....Detecting in the park (Super long post alert!)

    Same Old Song. [attachment 141749 101009-1.JPG] Here is what my typical day looks like. Nothing special. Was hoping for 125 coins and didn't make it. So what? Got tired after 2 3/4 hours. Besides I had found some other goodies to keep me satisfied. My Sweet Lord. [attachment 141750...

    An interesting first.

    Haven't posted a hunt in some time. Nothing but lots of clad.....not that there's anything wrong with that. Went out between raindrops to a close site. Had a choice. Good clad site vs. and OK silver site. The silver site is a lot of steps between digs but I opted for it. Got 4 wheats and...

    Goal hit today. No pics.

    I surpassed my coin total for 2008 today. 11592 in 2008, 11611 and counting in 2009. I'm getting close to 30k lifetime coins with my pair of Garrett's too. I am quickly running out of steam, though. I might or might not make it in 2009. Its going to take around 15 hunts Last three hunts...
