    Confederate & Union Civil War Relics With Seated & Barber Silver Sprinkled In

    The first two hunts of the new year have been very productive. I hunted a new site that is soon to be developed. It is in an area that saw a lot of action during the Civil War. I started out on the lower part of the property without much luck. I worked my way up to the highest point and the...

    Complete Sterling Pocket Watch

    I stopped by one of my old school spots after work Friday evening. I did't have much time to detect after catching up with the property owner. I've dug here two other times years ago and it produced a couple of nice Barbers and a Seated dime along with an amazing WWII era eagle hat pin. I headed...

    Old School Silver Part Deux

    Between the rain showers yesterday I drove down to try out an old ballfield for a couple of hours. I didn't have any luck with any old coins there and it seemed like a lot of fill dirt was added over the years. So to salvage the time I had left, I drove back to the old school I hunted last...

    Old School Silver

    I took a long drive out to a small town school site I have never hunted. It is always such a gamble to drive so far just to find it's been hunted out by the local diggers. I had a few back up sites, but this place was my main focus because it has such a large area to hunt. I started around the...

    1859 O Yeah!

    I hit a fresh construction site where they just cleared off a section of woods. This area is known to have some major Civil War camps all around. The place is really trashy but to my surprise the first good target I got was a tiny silver coin. After a little splash of water I could see I had dug...

    Latest Digs From Civil War To WWII

    Last weekend I went out trying to get permission for a property that may have been a Civil War camp but no one was home. So change of plans I hit an old school's ball field down the road. I found a handful of Wheats, a 1935 Washington along with 3 Mercs from the 40's. As I was leaving I got...

    Barber Streak

    My last few hunts I've been able to find some nice coins and a few have been Barbers. I went back to an old school spot that I have permission for. The old school has been gone for a long time and has been good to me. I was able to dig a dime trifecta with the 1916 Barber dime and dug a beutiful...

    SLQ, Seated & Barbers... Oh My!

    I had a chance to get out over the weekend to dig. I had my youngest daughter with me so we drove out to a location I have been wanting to ask permission for years. This spot had an old church and old school on it according to the maps but has been long gone. Now it has a huge church on the...

    New Permission Opened Up For Me

    I was out on a drive with my family Easter weekend when we went by an old school site I have been trying to get on for years but could never find the owner for permission and it has been grown over all this time. Well it has changed owners and the new one has cleared the land off old school, gym...

    An Assist By Me Makes For An Excellent First For My Buddy

    A few weeks back when the buttercups first started blooming, I wanted to get out and hit a very old spot with my buddy. This place holds a lot of history but is a very long hike back through the woods. The best time to look around is in the winter but you can't during the hunting season so early...

    Found My First Class Ring And Made My First Return

    My son and I went out after work looking to get a quick relic hunt in before dark. We drove out to a park a couple of towns over where I have found Civil War relics at before. My hopes were to luck up on a bullet so my focus was on those type of signals. We hadn't walked far from where we parked...

    Old School Hunt

    I have not been able to get out in a long time. Sunday I was able to sneak out to an old school spot that I have dug on before. I was not happy to see that the old ball field had not been cut this year but it allowed me to focus more on the areas closer to the old school. It was a nice evening...

    Working Through The Iron Rewarded With Another Half Real

    I went back to my early home site permission this weekend. I turned the sensitivity down on the Equinox and dug every signal I could pinpoint on. I dug square nail after square nail and lucked up on a piece of lead every once in a while. It wasn't looking good for me to find a keeper until I got...

    Nox Sniffs Out My First Half Real!

    Met up with my buddy to hunt a creek hoping to find some CW relics. It was a total bust finding nothing but trash. On the way out I slipped and busted hard on my back but luckily only hurt my pride. My buddy dropped his new Equinox and broke the arm cuff in half. Needless to say this wasn't one...

    Huge First For Me: Quarter Cut Spanish 8 Reales!

    Between being so busy and all of the other craziness of this world, I have not been out digging in two months. I was long over due for some dirt therapy. So Thursday evening I saw an opportunity to drop everything and get in a swing or two. So I headed down the road with my youngest daughter to...

    Second Silver With The Nox Is Another Big Beautiful Half

    Well still excited from finding a Barber half dollar on Thursday, I was looking to get out again and try my luck. I drove an hour down to this awesome old school spot I detected once before years ago. This place screams lost old coins and I'm sure it has been hunted hard in the past. There's not...

    First Silver With The Nox Is A Big Beautiful Barber

    I bought an Equinox back when they first came out to use as a backup to my old Etrac and to use in the creeks. I have used it a couple of times in the water but haven't found much with it. I have been needing to get it out because I know it's a great machine. Yesterday I drove down to a spot...

    Dug My Oldest US Silver! 1830 Capped Bust Half Dime!

    Got out on my first hunt of the year on New Years Day. I went to a place that I found a Confederate button at this past summer. The fields have been cut and I looked around for a few hours with nothing to show for it. I went back around where I found the CS button and dug a first for me with an...

    Old School Hunt Produces A Load Of Silver

    Been way too busy to detect over the last two months and I was long over due for some dirt digging therapy. Saturday was my day to dig. I was longing to see the shine of silver in some dark soil, so I decided to make the 35 minute drive down to an old school spot I've been trying to get on for a...
