    Today's hunt - a bit of everything

    Well it's rained hard here the past few days. I got home from work and it was finally nice and sunny. I decided to give my yard another go. The soil was still wet and I was hoping it would help with the discrimination. Just to re-fresh your memory, my house was built circa 1850, and nearly...

    Button Graveyard Part II

    So I went out to that park that I found a Civil War (I think) officers button and found, well a lot more buttons. Not anything as good as the officers button. One has a musical instrument on it that is a harp I believe. It is in the older style "bubble" like the civil war one. No other...

    Button Graveyard Part I

    So, I took the day off from work Friday to go check out an unused colonial road that a kid found a bayonet laying out on. The state archaeologist asked a few members of our club to scout the area to see if we could find a concentrated area of colonial artifacts. If so, they'd start an...

    Massive Silver Cache - Detecting with my head!

    Well, since I got into Metal Detecting and have been reading all the posts on the non-clad silver, I kept on remembering one time in the early 80's when my Father showed me an old cigar box of his. It had a bunch of dimes in it, at the time he was thinking of selling them because the price for...

    Sunray X1 Probe pics?

    Does anyone have any pics of their Explorer SE with a Sunray X1 Probe attached? (in various states of attaching) I'm curious about how the existing wire (the is in the shaft) is routed. How is it connected to your MD? It appears that the standard setup requires you to run the connecting wire...

    Favorite SE settings you hunt with?

    I haven't seen a thread about peoples favorite hunt settings in a while and I thought I'd get one going. I'm still relatively new with my SE so I'm still climbing that learning curve. Now that I'm just about over a nasty case of poison ivy, I'm ready to get back out there. So, what's is...

    What is this?

    Ok, I posted this in the Minelab portion of this forum because I was posting Fer and Cond numbers, however I think I may reach a few more people if I post here as well. Found this at a site that dates back to the early 1800's, was a mill site. Mill existed until it was burned down in the...

    Is my SE in need of service? (Part II)

    Ok, some back ground, I've put about 30+ hours (I kno wI need more) into my SE which I bought used on eBay. I believe the detector was purchased from KellyCo in Nov 2007, so it's not that old. All of the pics below, I put on a plastic recycling bin, which lifted the item off the ground a bit...

    How to clean rust off of iron?

    I've seen a lot of "how to" articles on electrolysis. For the most part they are always depicted cleaning coins. I was wondering if there was something out there that might work for iron relics to clean off the rust "bubbles" and deformities and get what is left of the metal to show? I am...

    Thought this was new, perhaps an old oil lantern part?

    Well, I was detecting at my favorite spot last week, my house that dates back to 1850, and I found the below pieces of trash. I believe they are brass or copper. I found them fairly deep, perhaps 7+" but given the pattern I thought they were pipe fasteners or something. Just modern trash. I...

    Old and New trash, yeesh!

    At little background, I live in a colonial cape style, story and a half house, built around 1850 in Connecticut. I believe the property it was built on, probably had some sort of development prior to 1850, as I've found an 1805 large cent just off my porch. I'm a bit new to detecting, add to...
