    Not all thats gold is……

    Snowed last Friday but nice enough to go out Sunday. Hate this weather (see first photo). Had some time so just played with the settings on the Legend and did a wandering course. Hit a solid 26 so thought for a minute maybe a war nickel or a Buffalo, indicated 6” depth range. Got the plug out...

    Young new blood

    So my other student in tow is a young man with an intense interest in this hobby. Last year his parents bought him a Garrett Ace 250, and recently a cheap carrot knockoff pinpointer, but nothing else, just that. I worked with his father and he was a student in my wife’s 2nd class a few years...

    Helping to pass the hobby along

    Have a dear friend who has a teeny tiny old beep and dig detector that belonged to family years ago. She has played around some with it on the house lot and made a few finds. Interest was there but just not the drive at the time. Finally, after watching a few YouTube videos and seeing what...

    Not detecting but still finding!

    Its been miserable wet and cold around here lately. Saying up to .9” rain here by Sunday midnight. Yuk Neighbors tore down an old pole barn built in the 1910s and I got a chance to snoop and find as the destruct was in progress. All my kids wanted some pieces of wood as mementos and the...

    A little help from the antique ammo guys….

    Found an old cartridge at a 1904 farmhouse that started life as a dairy farm. I know the case is toast but its rim diameter is smaller that a .38 or 9mm case so deduce the caliber is less than .351 or .358. Tried to get as accurate measurements as possible but as you can see only one side of the...

    Last weekend of the year…..

    Kinda cold but the ground was easy to dig and just had to get out. Didnt find anything earth shattering but came home with more coins than has been the norm. Saturday was a small patch of grass on the back side of a classroom building and ended up with $3.80 in clad (mostly 70-80s). Sunday was...

    Can anyone ID this? Old farmers cant….

    Im going to jump on here and see if anyone can ID and what it was used for. The local farm supply stores are unable to identify it. It was in an old bucket inside a 120 yr old barn here on the property, the bucket was hidden behind old hay bales. When I found it my first thought was to put it...

    90 minutes of weird

    Had a last minute chance to get out so loaded up and went! Decided old city park as generally the big trees give a bit of a windbreak. 39 degrees and light wind, ground was pretty saturated so easy to dig. First thing out the gate? A clad quarter at 3” deep and note the half silver and half...

    Im apparently getting my religion mojo.

    Had some time Saturday so went back to the big intramural play field where I found the 14k Catholic pendant. Made 85 cents in clad fairly quickly but then hit a solid 26 on the Legend at 3-4 bars depth. Could be a nickel….. At first the carrot was buzzing in the spoils but couldnt see any coin...

    Nano second surprise!!!! Update…

    Took the pendant to the Catholic Church and the helpful folks there took a look and tried to help see if the initials and date could be tracked. Seems the Catholics have a nationwide data base for these type items which shows communion or confirmation dates etc. we thought with initials and a...

    It was a gold coin for a nano second….

    Finally, FINALLY, I got a couple hours to get out. I had volunteered to mentor a 13 year old who got a Garrett Ace250 over the summer, I worked with his Dad at the Sheriff’s Office and Jack was in my wife’s 2nd grade class a few years ago. Off we went! Decided to go the big play/ball fields on...

    Im not superstitious but this spooked me a bit.

    While walking a road edge hunting we crossed a set of animal tracks that at first I thought could be wolf. Took a couple pics and continued along. Looking at the photos later I realized nothing in the photo for size comparison so decided we would stop on the way back and and reshoot the track...

    Im still out here guys……

    Been busy and not much time for detecting but when you are traveling some you always have time for a picture or two!! First set was an overnight camping trip with oldest son and his friend at Gallagerhead Lake in Washington State. Second set was a hunting trip near home in Idaho. We watched a...

    Not been out, busy. Still found something cool!

    So haven't been out, busy in the late summer doing farm chores and other mundane things. Five acres to mow and cleanup, home side got septic tank emptied, carpets cleaned, furnace tuned and ducts getting vacuumed soon. Had to strip downstairs out so carpet could get cleaned, boxes moved and...

    The things ya see while detecting…..

    Had a little time to kill this morning and besides the weather is supposed to be 20-25 degrees cooler. Went to the old city park and settled in to an area I’ve not pushed to hard yet. There were Moms and kids in the tot lot, dog walkers, people just strolling through, and one picnic bench with...

    1910 Farm House conclusion

    So today jkline and I put a full on frontal attack on that old place. Jeff had his new Deus and me with my Legend. Other than trash and nails (and one old faucet head) I think we walked out with about 25c clad. I did uncover one oldie worth mentioning tho… Hit a pretty good 26-27 TDI and it was...

    1910 Farm House

    One of my oldest friends and long time hunting buddy lost his wife to cancer a year ago. Just after that he was rushed in for heart surgery and ended up staying with his oldest daughter just over 100 miles away from here. He finally got home a couple weeks ago but no lifting more than 20 lbs for...

    Dry spell redemption, gold and silver!

    Well, the beach vacation was a total bust finds wise so yesterday I hit an old city park for over two hours and zilch, not even a zincoln. Got up this morning and told myself not coming home until I at least get a Memorial……. Got started and got a non ferrous solid 26 with one bar ferrous on the...

    Boring time on the OR Coast

    Brought the Legend to the OR coast (Waldport) and so far its been a bust. I have little to no experience with beach hunting so I’m learning from those who are here. First day out was trying to learn the Md vs Mw settings. Dry was a bit chatty and the manual says if ground balance is above 2 to...

    Now more Qs than As, EMI Hell Zone

    Finally decided if Im gonna get out then go early before the heat wave hits. So up to the battle zone at 7am and this time with the 6” in the holster. Started a good slow methodical grid search in an area that the Legend had already produced a Barber Half, Quarter, a couple Mercs, a couple V...
