    Finds from the yard, continued

    [attachment 94837 DSC00124.JPG] This is everything I found on my last hunt (over a week ago!)...3 clad dimes, a clad penny, an old axe head, the usual molten lead and lead chunks, a railroad spike, an empty .45 casing, and some other junk. The iron pipe, capgun barrel, and square nail (in upper...

    Logbook

    So I got to thinking (scary, I know!): I use Excel so much for work that I've gotten to be pretty good with it. So instead of a paper logbook, I've made a nifty spreadsheet I use...it keeps track of each type of find automatically, with a running total of each item and the total cash value of...

How is this done? I'm thinking electrolysis - perhaps for a lengthy amount of time...

    Church/schoolyard finds

    Went to my Mom's farm the other day to hunt some sites I had researched a bit on: a mid-late 1800's schoolhouse (no longer there) with hard packed pea-gravel that was NOT FUN to dig in, with a 1950's church opposite. The whole area was an oil boom-town of 2,000+ residents at it's peak in 1887...

    Backyard finds

    Finally got the new camera going, still getting the hang of it if you can't tell ;) [attachment 92619 DSC00003.JPG] Above is everything I've found in my yard to date, beginning about 2 weeks ago when I got my detector (minus some of the really big iron junk like rusty railroad spikes/tie...

    HI all...

    I'm just now getting back into TH'ing after a 20-year hiatus, bought my first detector a little over a week ago (Fisher 1236-x2). It's really become an obsession in no time - I live in the oil region of western PA, so there's a lot of history, ghost towns, etc. I've already gotten tons of great...
