    Old Post Office Button??

    Late last week I had time to hit my neighbors yard for a short hunt. I was trying an open area farther away from the house. Not too much to show for my effort, but I did find a pretty cool button. Based on the back marks smaller lettering I believe it dates to 1860. I thought I saw on some post...

    Friday hunt yields silver and a cache of dimes!

    So, I left work early on Friday as most of the company was already off and things were pretty much dead. My headphones had died last weekend, and I had all the parts I needed to remove the old 1/4" jack, and put on a new one. After about an hour of fumbling, I managed to get it connected back...

    Koss headphones - wire broke near jack... Any way to fix it?

    So, has this happend to anyone, where the wire at the base of the jack breaks? Ironically the thicker reinforced section that is supposed to allow it to bend and flex is where it broke. I can wiggle it and still get sound, but while I'm moving my head digging my plugs I eventually I move the...

    Saturday farm field hunt yields old copper

    Well, I watched and waited for the doppler radar to show me it was all clear and I packed up and headed out to a farm field I just recently received permission to detect. It's a pretty huge piece of land, butting up to a river. Right across the street from the field is a house that dates back...

    My first "cache" and a bit of silver

    So, my 2nd and 3rd trips over to my neighbors yard were "fruitful" Last Friday I went over and found my first cache, a kiddie cache I guess I'll call it. 28 pennies all in one hole, with a big fat rusted screw in the middle of the hole. I almost didn't dig. The signal was huge, and bouncing...

    So, if you read my previous post you know I was out in the hills fighting my way through the brush and prickers to get back home late Saturday night. It was dusk as I came into a clearing and found my way to a small wooden bridge that leads back to "civilization". As I get to the other side, I...

    First post 2009 - finally a nice hunt last Saturday

    I posted this in the Explorer section as well, thought I would share here as well.... Well, to start, while there has been weather permitting me to hunt over here on the east coast, I was blessed this past February to have a second child, a daughter. So, a 2 month old daughter, and a 3.5 year...

    Well, to start, while there has been weather permitting me to hunt over here on the east coast, I was blessed this past February to have a second child, a daughter. So, a 2 month old daughter, and a 3.5 year old son equates to very little alone time for Daddy. I was fortunate this past...

    12-14-08 Finds - A real mix

    Well, after sitting out for a couple weeks due to weather, we had some 42 degree weather this past Sunday. I decided to go to a park just down the road from me. I've posted finds from it before, mostly calling it the "button park". I've found a section where I think the town used to celebrate...

    :jump: This is me doing my happy dance after getting a awesome deal off of eBay on a 4.5X7 EXcelerator coil!! It came with a lower shaft as well. All told, close to $108 cheaper than if I bought it new! I was planning on buying one early in the spring, but how often do one of these come up...

    Condom wrapper this past Wednesday on perhaps my last hunt of the season. Woo, it just MADE MY DAY!!! :surprised: Is this a right of passage for all detectorists? Jai - whose hands smell like bleach.

    Two sites - two bits of silver

    Well, I hit a town swimming hole that is near a couple mill sites. I really wanted to hit this 1850's house I recently received permission to hunt at, but as it was fairly early in the morning, I opted for a more secluded spot so as not to disturb anyone. Oddly enough, this spot gave more the...

    1728 house leads to 1787 Fugio with Club Rays!

    Well I took the day off Wednesday to do lawn work, however I got up the courage to ask permission to dig an old 1728 house, I had enough self control to spend a couple hours raking leaves. I got the important spots that would just get plain annoying if I left them filled with leaves. After that...

    I know I may jinx myself, but I'm bursting at the seams here!

    Well, I will pre-cursor this post to mention the last time I posted about a site I hadn't detected at yet it turned out to be a bust. :veryangry: It is with great reservation that I post about this new opportunity, but I'm day before X-mas giddy right now and I need to pound out a few lines...
