    Can anyone identify

    This vintage Garrett detector? A buddy of mine acquired it today and sent me a picture of it. I personally have never seen one like it before and am curious. Any help would be greatly appreciated. F5

    Hit a new permission.....

    .... this past Saturday of an old house site that potentially dates back to at least 1920. I've wanted to detect this place for a long time but could never figure out how to get ahold of the owner. Last fall I noticed that the property had changed hands and It turns out that I know current...

    My Brother and I.............

    Went on a really short hunt Easter morning at our local high school before parting ways and joining our families for Easter festivities. We managed to scrape up a few dollars in clad, a few wheats but my brother uncovered a most unusual find. A metal Crayola Crayon. Has anyone ever fond such a...

    I've dug my share.......

    Of buckles but for the life of me can't put my finger on what this is. I'm hoping that some one here can shed some light on it. Thanks in advance, F5

    In Between hunting an old map site...

    I have been detecting permissions of late 1800's houses in a town that I pass through to get to the location. The house sits back away from the street quite a bit and after pulling up an a historical map of the area, I discovered that there once was a smaller house in the front yard next to the...

    I've been expanding my.....

    Horizons over the winter months and have been teaching myself to study old maps and how to use them to find old towns, houses and the like. one particular spot is positioned in a 400 plus acre field and has revealed at least 7 house sites as well as a school house, none of which exist any...

    My brother and I.....

    Have recently been detecting new permissions in an old town near us. We are finding some really old stuff but I have found a few things that I can't identify. I'm hoping that you guys can help me out with this. Thanks in advance, Spider F5

    It looks like….

    Something that was riveted to a saddle or maybe a belt but I can’t be for certain. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I’m hoping that some of you more experienced guys can shed some light. Thanks in advance, F5

    Finally got……

    A chance to hunt a four generation farm yesterday that my brother and I have been working on for about six months. It started out at daylight and where we thought was one of the original house site based on information given to us by a great, great grand son. 🙄We were later told where the actual...

    I’m not sure if…….

    This is the correct place for this but I’m in the Copper Harbor area this week and was wondering if any of you guys have ever detected the area and possibly offer some pointers for me while I’m here? Thanks in advance F5

    Making my way……

    further north I stopped for an over night layover in a little town called Munising. After a good night of sleep I hit a local park where I detected for a short while. I managed a few dollars in clad that included a modern Canadian dime and some odds and ends. My favorite is the maple leaf that...

    While traveling to......

    The upper parts of Michigan I had a brief layover in Lansing. I decided to hit a local park nearest to me. To my surprise, the trash was minimal compared to what I’m used to in my home state. I managed to get a few dollars in clad and a little (junk) bling😜, a toy and an unexpected 9mm casing. HH F5

    The new Sharp Shooter……

    Sniffed one out this morning. I started the morning out to hit an old pounded park that I’ve been to many times. The intent was to test out a series of new coils that came with a recently purchased metal detector that I got from a fellow member here. Between my brother and I, we’ve cherry...

    Do coins lose weight after being in the ground?

    I know this is a steupid/crazy question but after what happened this morning I couldn't help but wonder. After figuring out the best way to clean the coins I've dug this past year, I rolled them up while watching the ball games on TV this weekend and decided to cash them in on the way to work...

    Electrolysis...........

    Mans other best friend? At least in the metal detecting world, I'd have to say yes. lol I'd never gave the word a second thought until recently and I'll share a lil' story that leads up to how the word and i were finally properly introduced. I've only been dirt fishing for a very short while...

Since Thanksgiving, after hitting the big woods out behind the house, i got into some serious poison ivy . long story short, it took me every bit of a month to get over it. after a lot of withdrawels and some chomping at the bits, i decided...

    I hit the side woods......

    this morning since the temps were nice and cool, cool enough to keep the skeeters at bay. Lol I hadn't had a chance to hunt much lately due to the fact I've been busy doing odd and ends around the house ect. So, with the cool snap we had recently, I made dirt digging a priority. Was getting the...
