    Three For Three - My 3rd NJ Copper this month!

    Yesterday morning I decided to check out a new area and after an hour or so of exploring, finding no evidence of any homestead, I decided to head back to the truck, as so often happens in this situation, I spotted a small plateau in this somewhat hilly area and walked to it and I started to get...

    1786 New Jersey copper, first coin of 2011

    On a rare hunt last month I got the TALLIO cufflinks and have not been able to get out again since then, so this morning I had a window of opportunity and did get a hunt in cut very short by a back flareup. Anyway, in the first five minutes of walking into the woods towards a homesite that has...

    My Coins and couple relic finds of 2010

    2010 was a very good year for old coins, almost as good as 2009 which was perhaps my best year, but this past year was special, since I finally got a 1793 Large Cent, also had hunts of where I got 4 Old Silver in the same hole and my ONLY Silver for 2010, and one old copper later that morning...

    TALLIO cuff links

    The snow was mostly gone, temps above freezing so I got in a hunt yesterday morning and the first isolated cellar hole I hit only produced a plain flat no back marked button and some lead and pewter pieces. This site has yet to produce a colonial coin, but has given up musket trigger guard...

    My new SE finds its first Colonial coin and a Liberty Cap Large Cent

    My son and I got out this afternoon to a site that has really produced for us and today was no different. I started out finding a piece of a shoe buckle, and my son was finding buttons, for a bit, but I was only digging buckshot and shotgun casings for the first 30 minutes after finding that...

    R.I.P. my XS

    Hi all, been awhile since I posted, no, finds in this post, but did get a neat old lock this week I am currently zapping to hopefully make it presentable as a display relic. Anyway, while I was deployed to Saudi Arabia back in the days before the 2nd Iraq War where we did flyovers in the...

    What a month! One of my best ever for old coins

    My 9 and half year old Explorer XS, still going strong and it sure has not disappointed me this current month! I started out on April 1st finding a 1793 Flowing Hair with Lettered Edge Large Cent! Then on April 9th I found a KGIII Halfpenny that I did not think too much of at the time...

    Found my Oldest Copper to date and few other things

    My last two hunts have been at a very early long forgotten sawmill site, circa 1760's or so. No homestead has been found, just relics and coins from what most likely was just a work area related to the isolated sawmill. One week ago I got my first coin at this site after two previous hunts...

    Explorer XS 1/8 Jack to 1/4 Jack Modification

    About two months ago I replaced my original 1/8" jack receptacle with a new one from Radio Shack, after 8 years of hard use and about half of that using the SunRay Adapter stand the jack was just plain worn out. Well, I don't know if the Radio Shack replacements were not as sturdy, but they...

    Headphone Jack replacement/Plus some finds

    For about a year I have been putting up with intermittent cutout of my headphones and also when that happened the XS speaker would sound off plus my headphones at times, Well, after my last hunt on Saturday I finally decided it was time to open up my 8+ year old XS and fix the problem. Went to...

    Two Colonials today, 1 Regal, 1 toasted counterfeit

    This morning I hunted a site that has produced a KGI, KGII and a possible 1600's French Liard this year. I have hunted the site rather hard, but it is so thick with underbrush, greenbriars, and Holly Trees that to do any type of pattern is hard so I did my best today to try and hit the real...

    Got some deep relics today and a toasted half dime

    I hunted a site that I have hit rather hard over the years and this is the first time back in over a year and the only difference is the ground is dry as punk (rain missing this area for some reason) and I have the SE Pro Coil installed. Previously I have hunted this 1700s-mid 1800s former saw...

    Don't forget, there are good Iron targets to dig :razz:

    There are good Iron and bad iron targets and some iron relics put to shame any non-ferrous find. Here is an iron container I previously found that I am still looking for what its main purpose was. Right now I use it to display the few meager modern jewelry I have found over the years. The...

    Thank Goodness my original XS is still running GREAT!

    I have watched the Explorer II come out, the SE and now the E-Trac and all I can say is, I sure have saved a lot of money by still using the original XS, that has only ever been back to the factory once for the free replacement of the cracked housings that the XS had the first few years. I...

    8inch coil got a deep one today

    I am not one usually to say much about depth, since the vast majority of all my old colonial and federation era coins are usually found 4-7 inches, and rarely more than 8 inches. Well, my 7 year old stock coil has seen better days, it has been epoxied twice at the mounting ears and has been...

    A total mystery item to me

    I found this at the same homestead the heart shaped pin was found. I am totally stumped on this one, almost like it is a mini-sheath for something. Suggestions heard already were a lapel pin flower holder :) and a duck call. :) :) 1 3/4 x 3/4 of an inch. Don

    Heart shaped "double pinned" item with Eagle and Shield on it

    Found this yesterday and besides hitting it with my digger :( it is one beautiful relic but after hours of researching I have not come up with the age of the item or what it was. The hinged pin assembly still works, the pin ends are sharp so I assume it was worn on an article of clothing and...

    My son took me to his new site last Saturday :)

    This past Saturday my son took me to a new site he found earlier in the week. On his first hunt he found a 1655-58 French Liard (ID'd by Dr Phil Mossman) and a nice 1736 KGII Halfpenny. On our trip, right away my son got a large copper, LOL< at first I thought it was another Indian Peace Medal...

    1722 ROSA AMERICANA Penny

    My hunt today was going to be a 4 mile loop looking for a new homestead I suspect is there but once I got to my parking spot, I did not feel like a hiker today and went to Plan B, which was to walk down an old road about two blocks to where I got a KGII and KGIII copper back in 2001. Back then...
