    question about athletic fields

    I haven't had very much luck with them. when you guys hunt baseball diamonds, soccer fields, etc. DO you have more luck with spectatator areas or the actual playing field? Not related but a random thought: the US needs to do away with the one dollar bill. If nobody carries dollar coins...

    Coating on coils

    a couple of months ago there was some discussion about a coating made for pick up truck beds that someone had used on their coil to protect it. I can't find any of that thread anymore. Anybody know about what was use and if there is a downside to using it? MrGee

    My own backyard again

    Went out for a little while this afternoon and found a pin. It is 1 1/8 inches square and is in really nice shape. The front has "Edison" engraved on it and the back has "whitehead & Hoag, Newark NJ, Pat Aug 2, '21. The pin on the back is intact and with a little oil, works perfectly...

    Some odds n' ends that I've found

    Seems kinda slow in here the last few days, so it looks like the right time to post some pics. At the top right is a quarter that had a close encounter with a lawn mower. Not sure what the silver object below it it but whan I dug it out I thought the Lone Ranger had been there. It's threaded...

    Pictures of my "new" large cent

    Alright I'm gonna try this and see if it works. I believe the date is 1836, but it is quite worn.

    Lots of firsts with one turn of the shovel

    Darn, I wish could send a picture cause I'm so excited I'm about to pee my pants. Found a LARGE CENT tonight. It's one the "matron head" cents made from 1816-1839. It's pretty worn and the date is mostly gone. Although if I really strain my eyes, it looks like the last number is a 6 and...

    Not so fun adventure in detecting

    My neice has been after me to run my detector around her yard, so yesterday was the day. Not even in the trashiest park have I seen so many nails, screws, bolts, big pieces of unidentifiable crumpled chunks of metal of all descriptions. I had been at this for about an hour when she suddenly...

    Another backyard hunt

    Even though it was colder than a politicians heart today, I couldn't stand it anymore. even thogh I almost froze my hands off I had to try out the new propointer. That thing is 'the bomb' (as the kids would say). Only held out for about half an hour and didn't find much - couple of rusty...

    Another Backyard "Treasure"

    This was one of my first finds with the Ace. It was about 3 inches deep under a tree. I believe that it is a suspender buckle with a piece broken off the bottom where the two tabs stick out. I don't recall seeing a buckle quite that fancy on suspenders or bib overalls, but it's probably...

    don't neglect your own backyard

    dug up this gem a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea of how old it might be or how long it was down there. It was upright, and the top was about 4 inches down. My Ace 250 was all over the place due to the differing depths and the size of it. Poor thing was pretty confused, as was I. It...

    Finally made the move...

    Last night I did it. Went out and bought my propointer. So, what's it like today? Temp in the high 30's , rain and snow predicted for tonight. Maybe I'll get to try it out sometime next week. Still working on pictures. Found out that my fairly expensive digital camera isn't worth a crap...

    6 week update

    Wel, I've had my Ace 250 for about six weeks now. Discounting a few days when it rained and a couple when it snowed, call it five weeks of detecting and I've been out for at least a few minutes every day. The score as of yesterday: 512 coins for a total of $27.39. That's not counting a...
