    Back Again!

    Hello again everyone! One of my last posts was this Spring, where I announced that I had quit my regular job and started my own business. I knew that it would mean I would be dedicating a lot of my spare time to the business. I guess I didn't realize just HOW MUCH TIME it would take. Well, I am...

    Tell me WHY you run with "Deep/Off"

    Subject line says it all. For those of you who run with Deep/Off as your standard setting, I want to know why. Tell me about situations you may have experienced that lead you to believe this is the best setting for you. Thanks.

    Need Help Identifying Coin :help:

    First of all, I apologize for not posting much lately. Life got real busy all at once. Some MAJOR changes in my life. Not all bad, but changes no less. I haven't had too much time to detect, between all the other things I'm now responsible for and the weather. Anyway, I found this unknown coin...

    I'm on the Front Page :detecting:

    I had about an hour and a half to steal from the system yesterday. While detecting, a photographer from the local paper stopped by and snapped some photos and asked me a few questions about Metal Detecting. Much to my suprise, this was in the local paper this morning, on the front page, no less...

    Sanborn Map Subscription

    I have been communicating with my local Library, trying to talk them in to purchasing a subscription to Sanborn Digital Maps. I was succesful in getting them to speak with the regional representative for Sanborn. After the presentation, they said there was no way they had the money for the...

    Re: Sidewalk Strip Ownership, Do you hunt them?

    In a previous post, G4E stated that he had EMailed the Mayor of his town regarding ownership of the strips of grass between the sidewalk and the street. He was given the "go ahead" by the Mayor and he and his friends had a good hunt. I took his idea and EMailed the Mayor of our town and recieved...

    1916D Mercury Dime.

    I have a friend that I have known for about 25 years. We have bowhunted and fished together off and on since we met. He is the greatest bowhunter I have ever met and has taught me to think outside the box when it comes to hunting with a bow out here in the West.The way he teaches is to plant a...

    The Funny thing is......:unsure:

    I just posted about 1943 steel Wheaty's and today, I find one in the same hole with a 1946 wheaty. Several people responded to my previous post and stated that is the same way they have found them in the past. I was able to get away last night for about 1 1/2 hours and hit the sidewalk strip...

    Steel Wheat Penny TID

    Hello everyone. I am at home, bored and sick of spreadsheets, phone calls and scheduling jobs. It's raining and I am here taking care of my sick 8 year old daughter who is still sleeping it off. I was going through some Wheat pennys last night and came across 3 of the steel 1943's. I thought I'd...

    Tuesday's Hunt, Silver & Wheats

    I went to a local park yesterday for a couple hours. I detected in a spot that I have checked three different times this year and the ground was always frozen. It is in a protected spot that doesn't get much sunshine, so stayed frozen longer than most. I found the crustiest wheats I have ever...

    Coin Values Website: Numismedia.com

    Here is the link to a site that I have found to be a very useful reference tool for approximating the values of your finds. I think it is very well done and easy to navigate. I'm sure a lot of you already use it but for some folks who may not have any other reference, it is a handy site to...

    Todays Hunt, Silver & Wheats :detecting:

    Once again, I got up early and tried to get permission to detect an old abandoned house out in the country. The Guy's wife was home this time. She almost fell over when I asked to detect the abandoned house that sits on their property. She laughs and pulls out a metal detector from behind her...

    Tokens & Wheats

    Yesterday afternoon I got away for a couple hours to a park that is close to my house. I needed to stay close so I could be home when my Daughter got off school. I used the 8X6 SEF coil to sniff through a semi- trashy area along an old walkway in the park that is mostly grown over by the...

    Used my New Digger! 1947 S Washington :detecting:

    This morning I got up early and drove out in the country to try and get permission to detect an old abandoned house that I had my eye on. The owner of the property was not at home again, this was my second attempt to catch him at home, no luck. I then drove a few more miles to an old school that...

    Do You Sharpen your Digger?

    I just won a new Minelab Digger from the contest and was admiring it last night. All I have ever used before this was a garden spade that I bought at Lowe's. I have always sharpened the spades I use and find that they work so much better and are less work to use when sharp. The Minelab Digger is...

    Got my new Digger, Thank You!

    I received the new Minelab Digger I won on the "Free Digger Contest" today. It's a beauty and I can't wait to try it out. We had a snowstorm all day today, which makes me really glad I detected yesterday in the rain :laugh: I would just like to thank all of you again for making this possible...

    Today's Hunt at a Sidewalk Strip

    I hunted the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street in a location I had not hunted before and came up with the following finds. The dime in the picture on the plug was actually below the plug, I just put it on the plug for the picture. Some of the memorial cents were really deep...

    Saturday's Hunt

    I was asked by a friend of mine to detect a couple strips of property at our local Museum (used to be a School circa 1912) that is going to be scraped and graveled for a new antique farm implement display. The idea was to extract any artifacts pertinent to the old school and our town before it...
