    Memorial Day...

    Howdy-- It's been a while since I've posted any finds. The reason for that is that I am on dialysis -4 days a week for about 13 - 14 hours each time. I'm still trying to live a "normal " life by still delivering Meals on Wheels and volunteering for Hospice. Recently my volunteer coordinater at...

    Comet 100...

    Howdy-- Here are some pictures of the Comet 100 made by White's for Fireball Electronics in about 1966. It was generously gifted to me by my friend Vikki. This detector means more to me than an historical relic of metal detecting history - it's a further connection to my friend Kenneth Little of...

    Lost, Found, Sold then Gifted...

    Howdy-- About 15 years ago a detectorist in New Mexico dug a couple of 1916-D Mercs. He sold them to my old hunting buddy Kenneth who had them slabbed and then resold them to a mutual friend. Over the years I helped the new owner with a few of his projects. When he decided to liquidate his...

    How or Why Was a Find Lost?

    Howdy-- I was involved in a dialogue with Coin Rescue Inc: concerning the "How or Why" certain finds were lost at a given location. Here is the thread. Have YOU made finds that left you scratching your head? Howdy Coin Rescue Inc: I've been looking for that similar Mexican coin that you showed...

    Last Hunt...Some Silver

    Howdy--- I was on dialysis last night and I like to listen to Coast2Coastam when I'm tied to the machine. Wouldn't you know? The topic was "Unearthed Treasure." Well, after 40 years of metal detecting I could probably talk about my finds for hours hahah. As it turned out they took my call with...

    Kenneth Little of Fireball Electronics...

    It's with a heavy heart that I post this message. I am sad to announce the passing of a giant in the metal-detecting hobby/industry and a true friend. Kenneth Z. Little November 28th, 1932 -- February 4th, 2022. Kenneth's priorities in life were his love of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his...

    Last 2 Hunts...

    Howdy-- Regrettably, I haven't been able to swing my old V3i as much as I'd like to lately. I've had to undergo surgery. Here are the results of my last 2 hunts: 1 hunt before surgery and 1 hunt after surgery. Before surgery: My hunting buddy, Kenneth, told me about a vacant house that he...

    Last Two Hunts - James Avery etc.

    Howdy-- It's been a while since I have dug anything worth posting. Although I try to get out and swing the V3i at least once a week, weather, my volunteering commitments and health issues sometimes get in the way of my detecting addiction. My detecting buddy, Kenneth who will be 89 years young...

    A First for Me...

    Howdy-- My buddy Kenneth and I were about to call it a day after a relatively unproductive hunt - a few clad coins and some small pieces of scrap copper and brass to go in the recycle bin. While heading to my house for Kenneth to drop me off, Kenneth spotted what appeared to be a gravel parking...

    Last Hunt - Silver etc.

    Howdy-- I haven't been able to get out and indulge my passion, detecting, due to weather and commitments. But, alas, I was able to rearrange my schedule and get out and swing my V3i! It's often challenging to find a site to hunt living in a small town that I have hunted for the last 35 years...

    Silver & Gold -14K...

    Howdy-- We have had triple digit heat here in west Texas for several days which makes detecting a real challenge. Well, it was going to get down to a high of 99 degrees so off we went. I found a recent house tare-down in a potentially productive neighborhood and that was our destination...

    Houston Fat Stock Show...

    Howdy-- My friend Kenneth and I were driving around town in search of a site that might be productive. Sometimes we spend the better part of an hour in the quest for a suitable lot to hunt. Kenneth was seriously injured in 1956 in an oil field accident and because of spinal damage and hip and...

    Case Watch Fob Info?

    Howdy-- A good friend of mine, Doc, dug this fob a while back and him knowing of my appreciation of watch fobs, gave this to me! I know that there are some very knowledgeable people that visit this forum so I was hoping that someone could tell me approximately how old this fob is? The maker is...

    Oil Camp Silver etc.

    Howdy-- My friend Kenneth and I decided to detect one of my old haunts - an Oil Camp that was active from the early 1940's to the 1960's. I and my old friend James (who recently passed away) had hunted this camp every chance we had for a good 15 years since 1985. Those were the days! The...
