    Epic day of hunting! TWO coin spills. One had a GOLD COIN! Huge Gold Ring Silver Coins

    It has been a while since I have posted on the forum but I just had to share one of the best days detecting I have ever had with you here. I found a field that was owned by the city that bordered some older Victorian homes. I decided to hunt it and I was definitely glad I did! It had been hunted...

    Big Silver Spill at a new permission!

    I recently got a new permission at a 1937 farmhouse just 10 minutes from my house and decided to hunt for about two hours before dark last night. It's a beautiful little spot to spend some time swinging the coil. After finding a few Wheaties right off the bat, I got one of those beautiful silver...

    Hunting virgin 1940's yards. What a blast!

    My hunting partner and I decided we would do some door knocking on Sunday. I took him to a neighborhood that lies right in the path of a running cavalry battle during the Civil War and also has a pre Civil War house in the neighborhood. As we were driving we saw a few guys cutting down a tree...

    Wow! What a sidewalk!

    I've had a sidewalk strip in town that has been calling my name for quite some time. I finally had a chance to get out to it this past Saturday. I only had three hours to hunt so I got out there bright and early. From past research, I was able to learn that this particular sidewalk once fronted...

    Finds from my last few hunts Silver Coins, Skeleton Key Spill, Relics and Gold Ring!

    Just wanted to do a quick post and share the highlights of my latest finds from the past few hunts. The Civil War bullets and related relics came from a HEAVILY hunted cavalry camp site. We started off hunting the site with our stock coils and found a couple of bullets. The site is not...

    Finds from last two hunts. Great results in a heavily hunted park

    Just thought I would do a quick post of the finds from my last two hunts. The first hunt took place in a park where they tore down a lot of Victorian era homes in the 1960's as well as being a civil war camp. The ground is literally so full of targets that you have to put on a small coil and...

    Awesome first hunt of 2018! Silver coins and OLD GOLD !!!

    I decided to return to the spot in the woods where I had my last hunt of 2017 on Christmas Eve that produced silver coins and Civil War bullets. I figured it would be fitting to have my first hunt of 2018 at the same place and see if I could find anything else there.I am very glad I did! I was...

    My favorite find of 2017 turned out to be my rarest.

    Thought I would provide an update on one of the best finds I made in 2017. Some of you may recall me posting about a counterfeit 1829 Bust dime that I found at a colonial home site earlier last year. It was the second signal I dug at the site and at the time I knew it was an unusual find but I...

    A Very Merry Silver and Lead Christmas.

    I decided to go out in the cold Christmas Eve day and treat myself to a little detecting. I found an old school marked on the topo maps not too far away. After a little research, found out that it was built in 1919, torn down in 1957, rebuilt on top of the same site and still exists today. After...

    OK, just one last signal before I go home skunked.....

    Got out briefly last Friday for just a little over an hour. I decided to go to a very pounded park to try and get some deep signals. Was running open screen, 24 ferrous line and manual sensitivity set at 24. After digging a few of the usual deep falsing nails, I hit upon a repeatable 12-30 to...

    Time travelling with the Barber Brothers in their Studebaker

    I just had to get out for a bit last Saturday evening so I headed out to the Courthouse for a quick 2 hour hunt. Just one of those times when you don't care if you find anything, you just want to get out and meld with your E-Trac. Enroute to the site, I decided to leave the stock coil on, dig...

    Silver Sunday on the Courthouse lawn

    Decided to make a morning trip to my Courthouse permission to try and beat the heat later in the day. Got a 4 hour hunt in before the temperatures hit 90 degrees. Due to the heat and the dry ground, I decided to only hunt the high tones for a change. I will wait until we have had some good rain...

    Bullets, Button, skeleton key.... Great relic day

    Hit a park Sunday that has history going back to the Civil War and after that became a post Civil War and Victorian neighborhood. The neighborhood fell into disrepair many decades ago and they started tearing the houses down and then simply pushed them over the hillsides throughout the park...

    Hot weather finds from last few hunts. Silver and relics.

    Thought I would post my finds from the last few hunts. It has been hot! Lots of Gatorade, sunscreen and extra dry shirts. Finds were made at my court house permission and two parks using an open screen with a 24 ferrous line and both the X-5 and stock 11" coil. Hope everyone is out there having...

    Hunting a pounded pathway with the X-5

    Got out yesterday after we finally got some good rain storms. It was nice to finally dig in moist soil! I have been wanting to try one spot in particular ever since I got my X-5 coil. It is a 90 year old pathway that used to go from the old high school high up on the hill above downtown. Back in...

    Hunting the virgin Courthouse lawn with the X-5

    I was able to hunt the old courthouse permission for about 6 hours this weekend. The previous times I have been there I hunted with the stock coil but there were so many good signals in the ground that it is was difficult to separate them. The grounds around this courthouse have never been...

    Second time out with the X-5 is even better!

    I only had two hours to hunt this evening but after my success the night before with the X-5 I had to get back out there. After about an hour of hunting, the X-5 gave me plenty of signals to dig that were previously masked. I hunted along a chain link fence that I had not been able to get to...

    First time out with the Sunray X-5 and.....WOW.

    Just bought a lightly used Sunray X-5 and it arrived last week. As luck would have it, I was down sick in bed and had to just stare at it on the end of my E-Trac for a couple days before I could get out. Finally, I was well enough to get out yesterday and see what it could do. I decided to head...

    Big silver slump finally broken!

    These are some of the finds I have made during the past few hunts. It has been a long while since I have found a silver half but that slump was finally broken last Sunday. I was out hunting a permission when I got a 12-47 signal and after digging down 5 inches out popped a big beautiful 1954...
