    Another GW button, draped bust, Indian heads, lots of dandies, and colonial Masonic cufflinks

    Had a fantastic day detecting. We went back to the cellar hole that I found the 2 GW buttons at last week and I made many more great finds. I was fortunate enough to capture the GW button dig live. I will post a link for that. The weather was great, the company was super what more can you ask...

    Once in a while lightning does strike twice.. one hunt, 2 GW buttons

    CT Todd and I got out to a cellar hole that we have been meaning to detect for a couple years. The property is huge and we have done well at the other ones on it but just hadn't made it out to this one yet. I was finding lots of flat buttons and some other interesting relics. But then within...

    Old Old Old Copper Hafted Copper Point

    Hello Folks I was out the detecting with CTTodd about a month ago or so and found a nice copper culture artifact. They're hard to date exactly but the range that has been suggested so far by the archaeologist and knowledgeable copper culture folks has been 7,000 to about 3000 years old. There...

    Nice day of finds so far..

    I would prefer older but I'll take these. The 1909 d Barber dime is in pretty nice condition. I didn't really look too close at the wheat or Buffalo. The two bullets, measure .30 and .44 or .45 I thought the bullet on the right had a Williams cleaner look to it? Admittedly I'm not a civil war...

    Look forward to trying out the new forum

    Part of the reason I don't post on here as much was the minor hassle of getting photos uploaded. So this new auto resizing is a great new feature.. I have made a lot of great finds with the Equinox this past year and I am heading back to England in March with CTTodd and other good friends. I...

    Big tribe of Indians. :smile:

    I probably should have released them back into nature considering they are so young and waited until they grew into large cents. But I decided to be a hog and take them with me. Sorry future Detectorists. They were all in one little area maybe about four feet square. Cannot understand how they...

    Lunchtime Hunts 1779 One Reale and 1857 Seated Half Dime:smile:

    I had a couple good days of detecting during my lunch hour. This site has been hit pretty hard over the years. But every once in a while I find something good. These two coins were discovered on two subsequent lunchtime detecting sessions of about fifty minutes a piece. If you are interested...

    Who can actually detect right now?

    So, we finally got news that our long awaited Equinox's will be arriving at our doorsteps some time soon for some of us. How many of us can actually detect this time of year though? Our ground will be pretty tough up here, but I will try nonetheless. I really look forward to seeing what people...

    No wall adapter included....

    The wall adapter for charging is not included... Too bad they couldn't have thrown it in.. I know most of us probably have twenty of them lying around, but I will start looking for one that matches what they say. >1.7A @ 5V. "The charge time from completely flat to 100% is approximately 4...

    Merry Christmas Everyone

    Even though I left a spot for Santa to leave my Equinox under the tree. That spot was still empty this morning. So here I sit watching the snow fall and waiting for the kiddies to get up. Merry Christmas..

    What is your first stop with your brand new Equinox?

    So after you get it, swing it around the yard and maybe your test garden where are you heading to and why? What do you hope to find? I plan on hitting a corn field that has given up a large amount of 1700's and 1800's finds. Including one of my rarest finds. At this point all I can get out...

    Huge Silver Spill.....

    Hi Folks A couple of days ago I had seven silver day at one of my permissions. I didn't realize at the time that this was a part of a much larger spill of coins... Today I went back to the same area and well.. It was epic, and I don't use that word... There were Walker and Franklin Halves...

    1780's Nova Constellatio

    Hi Folks Hope everyone is doing well. I have been detecting quite a bit and doing alright but not posting. Today I found a Nova Constellatio in one of the fields I have been detecting. Obverse is toast but reverse isn't terrible. I found it only a few feet from a clad dime. I am glad I didn't...

    Surface find 1773 Spanish Silver

    Hi Folks! I spent most of the morning and early afternoon hiking the hills and dale only to come up empty-handed besides one Indian Head. I was tempted to leave it there until it matured but decided to bring it home with me. It may be an 1864. Anyhow, I went back to the farm which has been so...

    A 1700's type of day with CTTodd

    I did well detecting with CtTodd today. I found a couple nice keg taps, a couple suspender buckles (one labeled CH. Guyot from the early 1900s) and a button or two. I also discovered a couple nice Connecticut coppers dated between 1785 and 88, two King George II coins dating 1739 and possibly...

    Minelab service was super quick only a 6 day turnaround.....

    Friday Aug 12, 2016, 2:33 PM Sent message to Minelab stating I had the dreaded Coil not detected message. Aug 12, 2016, 3:07 PM Received message from Jamie that I was in luck since my coil was still just barely in warranty. She asked for a a mailing address and phone number and would get an RMA...

    Unexpected 1790's Spanish Silver and 1818 Large Cent

    Today I visited the farm that has been oh so good to me over the years. Being that the fields are high though, I decided to try some of the trails through the hills that the cows have trampled down over the years. I know I had detected through this area years ago, but with the ground cover much...

    An 18th Century finds type of day

    Yesterday I was able to get out with CTTodd to a field that gave up a nice handful of recoveries. My best finds of the day was a 1718 British Halfpenny, which was nestled in among some square nails and wire and laying right on the lip of a rock in the field. I first pulled out the wire and nail...

    Your best tip for someone starting with the CTX

    If you wanted to help someone hit the ground running with the CTX. What do you think the best advice would be to give them? I am thinking CTXcentric type responses, but if you think there are more important bits of advice that go beyond just the CTX what would they be? For me, I would still...
