    Finally rain and some beautiful days led me to three lil Indians.

    Got out today with my hunting buddy and we hit two houses this morning. I didn’t do too bad as I was able to get a 65, 71 and 74 Indian. Dug a lil round thing and looks like sinker but way to light. Maybe an old pendant? Although Im glad we did get rain finally. I think about all the people...

    Another great morning hunt at the 1830s home.

    Against my body telling me not to I went hunting again. I went back to the same site I found the 1797-1807 LC and the 1825 1/2 Cent. I hunted the same large area today and ended up with four flat buttons, two Cornet LCs a 1818 & 1835 and a 1854 Seated dime. Three of the old buttons I gave to...

    After 45 years scratched a big one off the bucket list 😀.

    Went back again today to the early 1830s era home although ground still hard as cement. I did bring my new revised number two version of my digger which helped tremendously in getting a nice plug started. Thought I would hunt the humongous side yard field. Low and behold like my 3rd dig was a...

    Ground is hard as a rock but, managed a few finds.

    Got out with my hunting buddy at a home we hunted years ago. This home happens to be very historic and is a registered place. Anyhow, the new owner granted us unlimited hunting of the property. The home was built in 1830s. I took my custome made digging shovel “version one” and it did great but...

    Got out today and hit a special house.

    I got out again today to hunt with my long time hunting buddy. I garnered permission at a house that kinda had special meaning to me. It was built in 1875. When my folks moved to Ohio from Kentucky back in 50s they rented the second floor of this home. Now I remember as a child going there a...

    Nothing important but, I did find one interesting item.

    Got out again this morning with my hunting buddy. Hit an old 1800s school house we have hunted for years. I scored an 07 IH there and the usual shotgun caps and misc junk. On the way home we hit another house built around mid 1800s and didn't expect to find much as I hunted it many times before...

    Finally some softer ground here in Ohio.

    Got out with my long time hunting buddy today and garnered permission at a home we had never hunted. It’s not a real big yard at this 1880-1900 home but, big enough. Dug a bunch of clad and junk. Two keepers for me were a really nice 1887 IH with a full liberty and a token “Good for one piece of...

    Finally got out again. Hard dry digging but, some good luck and bad luck.

    Got out with my hunting buddy and we hit a home we had hunted about 15 years ago. The farm had a new owner but, had no problem letting us detect. I got lucky and found a 1850 LC but, that was it other than junk. I hunted primarily around an old bank barn I had never really hunted. Sadly my...

    Good hunt for myself and hunting buddy today.

    Finally found time to get out with my hunting buddy. We just went close by to a place we have hunted for 20+ years. It would take forever to hunt it out it’s so huge. We picked an area where there’s tons of trash. I really need a 6-8” coil but, got by with the stock coil today. I sniffed out a...

    Haven’t posted in quite a bit. Finally got out.

    As everyone knows life happens and sometimes we all get busy etc. But, myself and my long time hunting buddy finally got out for a hunt today. Hard to believe it’s so nice and warm on Nov. 13th. We choose to hit a large property we have hunted several times prior as it’s been good to us. I did...

    The trusty SE never disappoints.

    Got out finally with my hunting buddy Bill. We hit an old home we got permission last year. It’s a large property and it seems there’s items everywhere. I had a good morning scoring a 1903, 1891 IH, 51 Roosie, some kind of Ohio scholastic pendant, a religious pendant, a Brave Cap Pistol in great...

    Can someone pass along some good settings they recommend for coin hunting (old silver and large coppers).

    My son has a Eqiunox 800. I’m an Explorer user with no hands on experience with his machine. I was hoping someone might have some recommendations on settings for coin hunting primarily old silver and old copper coins I can print and give to him. Thanks Findmall friends. 👍

    Also, fault on my SE Pro

    So, this is intermittent and happened today three times. No matter if I am using my rechargeable battery or the AA pack the detector will suddenly pop up the “Battery Flat“ fault then shut off even though the battery is full. Seems to be from my research related to the C6O5 big capacitor on the...

    First hunt for 2022. So glad to get out and hunt.

    Got out today (1st time 2022) with my long time hunting buddy today and found out I get out of shape in the winter. Anyhow, we garnered permission at an old home in a nearby local town. I believe we had hunted it one time many years ago under different owners. We where both so glad to get out...

    Got out again this afternoon to same place I found the Barber Quarter.

    Me and my buddy headed back to where we last hunted. It was much cooler then last hunt and as the day progressed it was misting. I dug about 5 wheats the oldest a 14 but, nicest greenie was the 16S pictured. I also got a 02 IH and a 40 Merc. My hunting buddy had a dry spell on silver lately but...

    I’m blessing change of ownership.

    Got out with my hunting buddy to a local nearby town. We stopped at a house we had asked permission last about three years ago and was told no once again. When we pulled up today just to try again there where new owners and we where given permission. This is a large property of about 5 acres and...

    Got out from 5-7pm tonight. Got one good coin.

    Dug plenty of junk for sure as this is a place we have hunted for over twenty years. At this point we are digging just about anything and that’s what all my finds where. Everything but a nice coin till right before we left and I dug this nice 20-S Standing Liberty. Didnt realize it was an S...

    Made a lil time to get out and hunt today.

    As many of you know getting old isn’t much fun sometimes. I am the caregiver for my mom who has dementia. So, with that said finding time to get away isn’t easy anymore but, my hunting buddy and I broke away for a lil bit this morning. We hunted a house we had never hunted and it turned up a few...
