    Targets of opportunity… Part 2

    I made several more short trips to the site of a former 1861 house along the line of Morgan’s raid from the Civil War. The excavator had been removed along with the pile of concrete rubble from pad demolition. They also had scraped off about 4 inches from a margin around where the house used to...

    Horseshoe badge identification?

    I found this on a residential property which is situated on an old Union Civil War Camp. A Google picture search suggested it might be a Civil War cavalry adornment and showed a similar item from the Battle of the Wilderness, but it is not exactly the same. Can anybody make a positive...

    Civil war cavalry adornment?

    I was invited to hunt a residential property which is situated on an old Union Civil War Camp. After meeting me at a different property, the couple had decided to buy a metal detector for their young grandson for Christmas. So we spent a little time teaching him some basics on his new bounty...

    Translation help needed!

    I couldn’t make it by the old house site (Targets of Opportunity …) as the crew was working, so I diverted to another site where I have found several coins from the 1800s. I had high hopes for the penny, as it was in the center of a roughly 4 x 4 depression in the woods. Unfortunately, it’s just...

    Targets of opportunity and possible Morgan’s Raid connection

    I was on my way to a place I’ve been hitting pretty hard when I passed by an old house on which I’ve had my eye for a while. However, this time, the doors had been removed and a crew was carrying out stuff and piling it in the yard. So of course I turned around. As I did, I saw a tom turkey...

    Got milk?

    I have been hitting a site hard where I have found four early to mid 1800 coins along with a couple newer tokens and 1900’s silver and early wheats. I went over some of the core of the area again and started pulling more iffy targets out (generally nuts and bolts, but also a couple of shotgun...

    Harvest time!

    I recently went on a two day hunt at a local site. The wheat must’ve been ripe, because I came back with 30 wheat cents! There is a 1909, several in the 1920s and 30s and a bunch in the 40s and 50s. I found two buffalo nickels (‘36 and ‘37) on the same day, which is a first for me. The bucking...

    Pumpkin carving

    Happy Halloween all! My kids and I carved these pumpkins this year. My daughter did Stitch Elvis, my son did Prince John, and I did Davy Jones. I hope they bring you some enjoyment!

    Update #2 - I’d like to put in my two cents worth…

    OK, at this point in time admittedly it’s more than two cents. I headed back to the site where I found an 1866 two cent piece in excellent condition, along with an 1831 large cent, an 1853 seated dime, a 1918 Merc, a 1919 wheat and a 1929 wheat. My son came with me for one short trip (I’ve...

    Update - I’d like to put in my two cents worth…

    OK, I don’t know if there’s a way to mark a post title as updated, so I’m just creating a new post. After getting a privately made remote holder for my D2 to replace the stock mount which broke, I was eager to head to the field and test it out. Which field to head to? Of course I went to the...

    Well, it finally happened…

    As many other people have reported, my remote started falling off the factory mount on the shaft. I had been trying to baby it along, but simply pressing buttons would cause it to tip back and fall off. I have had a lanyard attached to it and looped around the shaft so when it would fall off...

    I’d like to put in my two cents worth…

    It’s been a bit of a dry month in more ways than one. I obtained permission to hunt a field where there was a civil war skirmish so I thought I would swing by and see if it had been brushed or mowed yet. Unfortunately, it’s still waist high, so I will need to wait until everything dies and is...

    V3.1 - Final

    Apparently version 3.1 - final (not beta) is out. Anybody have a chance to try it out with the standard coils? I primarily use the 11 x 13 and do not have the HF2.

    My first gold with the D2!

    I decided to try a couple new places, so I picked up a permit for some local parks. I thought I would try to see if I could find some structures shown on a late 1800s topo. So, I loaded up Cal Topo and headed out. I turned on my D2 just to see if I could find any nail beds on the way out. I...

    White death/Whole song update

    I was able to make a couple short afternoon hunts at a site where I found an Indian head penny at the end of the day right before a big snowstorm. The next time I made it out, I found 11 Indian head pennies with seven in one hole all in the same small area. I documented those trips in two...

    I can’t believe I found the whole song!

    Just before the last big snow, I was hunting a different part of a place I’ve been to a number of times. As it was getting dark back in December, I hit an iron patch and recovered an Indian head penny and an old wheat. So, when the snow finally melted off I was back. The ground was still...

    Flat button enigma?

    I had to go wading through the snow, but I wanted to get out once in January. I went back to a spot with an old house and garbage dump. I found a buckle and what appears to be a drawer pull for an old curved front dresser. But, I am scratching my head over what appears to be an alpha shank...

    Last hunt before the white death

    Got out for a day before the white death arrived. We have over a foot of snow on the ground now and it doesn’t look like it’s going to thaw off before the end of January. More snow forecast for tonight. 😕 So, I used my set of Andres crayons to clean up the IHC I found. Before and after...

    Time to get the lead out

    Out of the ground that is… 😏 I posted this in the daily finds forum, but somebody else recommended I repost it in the Civil War forum. Our club recently obtained permission to go back to a site we visited earlier this year with an abundance of Civil War bullets. This is near a known Union...
