    Most recent finds

    Well, I haven't posted in a while, been a bit busy, and this past month was a bit of a slump for me. I tried some new sites with a little bit of success, and revisted some from last year. The1916s merc was at an old park and I could tell by how worn it was that it was old. I rinsed it off...

    New SEF coil owners - feedback request

    Hey all, I purchased ths 6X8 and 10X12 SEF coils last summer in July. (I already had the 12X15) They work great however, at the time I received them, my X-1 probe was in the shop so I was required to run the cord up the lower and upper shafts. That was when my problem started. The...

    6 silver weekend - including a large spoon ring

    Well, with two young ones at home it takes me a while to get the photos downloaded and resized, but here they are. I had a pretty good weekend. Not shown in the pictures is a 64 D Rosie I found Friday evening. I started off on my own Saturday morning with a friend of mine. We decided to...

    4 silver day!

    Well, this is a hunt from last Sunday that I'm just getting around to posting. I headed to an old swimming hole for a couple hours, and managed to pull out one merc. There were tons of pull tabs etc so the detecting was rough going. I was walking along a rocky trail, and noticed a small 2-3...

    SE and 12X15 SEF Perform on the beach

    I posted this in the Explorer forum, but it is beach detecting, so I thought I would share.-- So a small group of my Detecting Club members and I hit a somewhat private beach by the shore Sunday. Nor'easters had washed the sands around a bit and we were hoping in a good way. I soon found myself...

    SE and 12X15 SEF Perform on the beach

    So a small group of my Detecting Club members and I hit a somewhat private beach by the shore Sunday. Nor'easters had washed the sands around a bit and we were hoping in a good way. I soon found myself on a stretch of beach that was lower than the surrounding area. The beach had black and...

    Results from my 4 year olds first hunt - and some deep silver for me

    So this past Saturday I brought my son out to an elementary school for his first "official" metal detecting hunt. He's 4 and a half years old and is always asking to go metal detecting. Unfortunately my house was built in the 1860's and the yard is littered with iron. Having to try and teach...

    30 minute hunt - Silver and a Soldier

    Well, I walked over to the neighbors yard after work this past Tuesday for a quick little hunt. The house dates back the 1900 or there abouts. I've found mercs and rosie's there in the past. I like this yard because it is full of unusual stuff, and now the targets are a bit harder to find and...

    Do you ever want to throw your stapler through the window?

    Ok, so I know having a number of nice silver coins to put into 2X2's is a great problem to have, but damn my stapler, or the staples I'm using suck big time. I swear I have more bent and broken staples piled up on the table than I do in the actual 2X2's. I upgraded to a medium sized stapler...

    Return trip to the half dollar coin spill site - 1916 Standing Liberty???

    So I managed to make it until Thursday (2 days after my first visit) before I decided I had to play hooky from work and head back to the coin spill site. My previous post (you can review it here) contained a 3 walking liberty half dollar coin spill! That combined with the Barber dime and IH...

    MASSIVE Silver pocket spill - over 1 troy ounce!

    Yesterday after work I headed over to a co-workers property for the first time. It is a house that was built in 1914. The front and back lawn are roughly 2 acres, and they have woods with several more acres. The house was built by a lumber mill owner. There has only been one child raised...

    2nd Hunt of 2010 - 1st silver and some neat relics

    Well, headed across the street into my neighbors property and did some woods digging. There were several mills in operation around a small stream that parallels my road. Just about every high part of the hill has some sort of iron field on it. I'm pretty excited about the pin, though it only...

    Grey Ghost headphones - painful to wear?

    After much deliberation I decided to buy some Grey Ghost deep woods head phones. I just received them today. I tried them on, and they are incredibly tight on my head. I adjusted them to sit high, med, and low on my ears, but they still clamp down very hard to a degree where it is...

    Which head phones to buy for an explorer SE?

    Simple enough topic, I'm sure it's been asked before. Feeling too lazy to search for old posts and I wouldn't mind hearing "fresh" information. I have about $100 in eBay gift cards, so I can pretty much with little added expense get any pair out there. Initially when asking for gift cards I...

    Revisted my 2008 silver honey hole, SWEET pocket spill in an area I never hit

    Well I beat this place to death last year, but I never went over to this other field adjacent to it. I found this sweet pocket spill a few feet from a huge old tree. Enjoy the pics. This was my first standing liberty, so I'm pretty happy. Anyone have a thought on what the date may be? Jai

    Slim pickings at the 1700's farm site

    These pictures represent the "cream of the crop" in 6 or so hours I spent on my first day at a 1700's farm house. I pretty much went around the house and got mostly trash and more modern stuff. I was using my 10X12 SEF and I think I should go back with the 6X8 or even my 4.7X7 as I am sure...

    Last 2 hunts at this summers silver honey hole

    Well, I believe these are hunts 7 & 8 in a row with some sort of silver from this place. Also, a cool token from 1915. Just about every crappy signal turns into something interesting. I have pulled about 15 or so silver coins from here and 3 silver rings now. No gold yet, which is why I...

    Last 3 hunts - small medium & large silver!

    These pictures represent the finds from my last 3 times out. The first two are at my regular honey hole that keeps on producing. I haven't counted how much silver I've fount there or the wheatie to silver ratio, but I seem to be pulling silver every time I head out there. In fact, I've pulled...

    19 hours at a new home site circa 1816.....Day 1

    Ok, getting lazy in my old age, so I'm going to jam several visits to a new site into this one post. I put in almost 20 hours here in some hot hot weather. Lucky for me we've been having rain so I didn't kill the yard. The house dates back to 1816, the owner was selling and said I could...
