    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...

    Time to get the lead out

    Out of the ground that is… 😏 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 camp. So these bullets would not have been derived from a battle but probably just goofing off or target...

    Trigger guard or scissor fragment?

    I think the title pretty well summarizes it. Ideas? The “tongue“ is not straight but deviates to the left.

    A button kind of day-Thanksgiving update

    Over Thanksgiving weekend I was able to go back to a site where I found about 20 flat buttons (including some Tombacs), an 1822 large cent, and an old farm or communion token. Once again, I didn’t find much in the field except for the small area where all the old stuff is located. This time, I...

    I found … Mount Rushmore!

    Well, at least a souvenir pressed penny depicting Mount Rushmore… I headed back to a site I have hunted once. There was an old school here, and the owner gave me permission to hunt down the road too. There was a nice nail bed at the second property which got my attention, but I think it has...

    A button kind of day - update

    I made it back out to the site where I have found almost a dozen flat buttons (including one Tombac), some lead farm or communion tokens, and an 1822 large cent. The buttons just keep on coming. No coins this time, but another half dozen buttons including another Tombac (small), and a white...

    New site (for me), old finds

    Went out to a new local I read about in an old book. I figured I would knock on some doors and see if I could get some new permissions. One of the local residents gave me permission to hunt an old school. Of course, I brought my detector along just in case…😁 I thought my first find of the...
