    1833 Capped Bust Half Dime from a civil war site.

    You never know what you will find on civil war sites. I found this on my last hunt of the year in December on a site we have been hunting. It is littered with square nails and the Equinox 800 excels in that area. We have found numerous bullets, flat buttons (no eagles yet), 1857 flying eagle...

    Finds from my Virginia trip in March

    I had the great pleasure to hunt in Virginia with my good friend Cajuncoinhunter. We had a slow start then on the last day we found a couple new sites and ended up with a decent hunt. I think my best find was the soldiers ring to add with my wide variety of bullets.

    MXT PRO at the beach

    I am going to Myrtle Beach in June and want to take my machine. I have never beach hunted before so I am looking for some tips on the MXT PRO there. Will it work in salt water and/or wet sand? How do I set it up for the beach?

    New Years Day Civil War hunt

    Couldn't think of a better way to spend New Years Day than go relic hunting. Only partner Bob could make it as Sham and Frank were unable to go. We decided to go back to our CS Artillery site that was also the site of a college that burned down in the 1850's. We have found many nice finds there...

    Saturday's colonial and civil war hunt

    We all planned on going hunting Saturday and as of early Friday night we still did not have a site yet. One site we planned on hunting was canceled because the owner is selling the property and was showing it Saturday. He told us that he will let the new owner know about us and will give us his...

    I had a great time hunting for eight straight days in Virginia on the DIV hunt that was there. I finally got to meet and hunt with Cajuncoinhunter and had a great time. My best find was a New York Coat Button with a lot of gilt left. I am wore out from the long hunt and can't wait for the next...

    Bob (Hornbush), Sham (Shamborelics) and myself hunted a site that we have only hunted a couple times and today was pretty productive.

    Had just a few hours to hunt as I had a small window between storms. Found several nice goodies. Got two Eagle "I" cuff buttons, a button back, three brass shells, rivet, friction primer, piece of a bayonet, shell frag and what I think may be a scabbard tip. Need help on that one. I think my...

    Sand Shark question

    I am considering the Sand Shark to hunt with when I go to the beach later this year. I will primarily be hunting in the water with it. My question is will the machine work on dry land as well. I hunt highly mineralized soil for relics and was wondering if it would work there as well as a back up...

    Saturday's short CW hunt and a first for me.

    Since most of my landowners were out of town or had deer hunters on the property I went back to our old campsite we have been hunting. Took along another guy who also was learning the TDI. First signal was a round ball. Then dug two 3 ringers about a foot apart. The last was a button hook. This...

    MXT PRO is an awesome relic machine.

    I love my MXT PRO. I hunted Sunday at a CW campsite that we have hunted many times and I had my best day yet there. I found 18 bullets in one hole. Some of those signals were very deep as I had my settings pretty hot so I could reach those deep targets. I posted my story and pictures in the...

    Awesome CW campsite hunt. 18 bullets in one hole.

    Four of us were going to hunt a new campsite today that has been producing some nice relics but two could not hunt today so we agreed we would hold off hunting that site until all four of us could hunt it. So Tnrelicman and I went back to our campsite that we have been hunting for quite some...

    My DIV XVII finds.

    I attended the Diggin in VIrginia XVII hunt a couple weeks ago and had a great time. I was using an MXT PRO that I had just purchased the week before. I had trouble the first day and a half trying to understand what the machine was telling me in those soil conditions. I would dig an iron target...
