    Awesome Videos for the E Trac Newbie

    I ran across this young fella and his videos on YouTube a few days ago. He's got some very interesting and informative videos of actual field targets, testing various settings and modes. Great visual comparisons for the E Trac Newbie of cons verses iron at depth. His vid's may even be a good...

    New Ground First 2015 Silver

    Did the research last year and got permission over the long winter. This property was an old school back in the early 1900. Not very big property and extremely overgrown. Still able to see the foundation and it looks like somebody's been using it as a dump. Trash,bottles and scrap iron litters...

    Canadian Half Penny Bank Token 1844

    Spent a few hours today at the same place I found the Draped Bust a few days ago. Not there very long and dug what I thought was going to be another LC. It was only 4" to 5" deep. I'm having a hard time believing I may have stumbled on one of the few Pioneer French Trading Post from back in the...

    Back to the woods and more old finds.

    Second trip to the place I recently found the Draped Bust LC. Working w the Etrac and SEF 6x8 this time it was alot easier to deal with the nails. Right away started hitting shotshell heads. 11 in all or so I thought. Most were 12 GA and a couple 20s. Briefly looked some of them up on...

    First 1700's Coin!

    It's been a long cold winter here in Indiana. It's given me a lot of time to research the many stories I've been listening to at the local coffee shop frequented by some of the older folks that live here. Many have generations of family dating back to the pioneer days. Well I got lucky and some...

    Old School Site Finds?

    The three items lower left were all found along with the half moon shape 'cast metal piece at bottom of picture. I know it is a ink well lid and is the fourth one found at this location. The other three items above the lid are of the same cast metal and all have similar patina. I believe they...

    Found about six to seven inches deep in a farm field at the location of a church/school/general community building used by settlers back in the late 1800's.

    Unusual St. Christopher Pin.

    This is probably the deepest target I've ever dug. At least twelve + inches and understandable since it is approx.1-1/4" x 2-1/2" Rung up in the 11-12 : 46-48 range w depth bottomed put. Best research I can find is that this is obviously religious pin given and kept by someone to forever be...

    Oldest Coin & My First Large Cent (NWI)

    This one I put on my bucket list but never thought I'd find on in North West Indiana. Wishes do come true. Got out today after another rain shower yesterday. Ground is sweet for detecting and diggin. Don't know how this one was missed since it came from a public park that's been hit hard for...

    M4T and Silver Today

    I've been using TTF and have had decent luck in a Pounded Park this year. I've always wanted to try Multi Conductive and four tone, so today I gave it a shot. I think it may have a place in the many different ways you can program the Etrac and different conditions I hunt. My 13" Ultimate is...

    Silver #40 with help from new X1

    Well you all told me how much I'm going to like the X1. Your absolutely right. In an trash infected park there's no chasing around digging anything but the good stuff. It lead me right to silver # 40. Nothing special but hey it's silver. It's been real dry around here but finally got some rain...

    1929 Caddie Badge

    Can't find a lot of info about Caddie Badges. The Ridgemoor CC came into existence in the early 1900 and is the home of the Ridex Cup an annual state competition of the states best armatures and PGA pros. I'm guessing by the badges would have been issued to identify the caddies for some type of...

    Roosevelt and Fairbanks Fob/Medal?

    Hit one of my new door knock houses for a bit today. Unbelievable amount of nails right around the house with a steep hill in back that levels out in a fairly big back yard. Further you get away form the house the better. Found some clad. couple horse tack rivets, a small buckle appears to be...

    1932 Ice Cream Token

    With inflation figured in this should be worth about $1.69 at any Walgreens Drug Store for the purchase of Ice Cream in, Brick, Carry out or Bulk. Sometimes these finds are as good a silver to me.

    Glory Seekers ?

    Curious if anyone else has run across those people that just have that uncanny ability to one up you every single time you hunt with them. You might think a little different after you read this. I

    Door Knocking and Calling for Permission

    Finally got the guts to door knock a 1885 house a week or so ago and got the go ahead. It sure wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Huge yard and some woods that I'll be hunting this fall and or spring. Still not done with the yard. These two old folks have even had me in for morning coffee...

    TRX Finds Indian Garrett PP Missed???

    Met up with ironsight for a short hunt this afternoon at "Pounded Park". Picked his brain a bit since in my opinion he's a very accomplished Etrac Operator as well as Silver Hound. He gave me some pointers on certain areas of my program that I should open up. Did a little tweaking and off I went...
