    up"date" on KG II

    The King George the II that I found last week has been soaking in olive oil for a while and with a little coaxing I think that I see a 1733 on it. A little better detail in person.

    1729-1739 Georgivs II

    Went out with my son on Saturday to an old foundation that we both have hit early silver. This place is in the woods grown up around it and has alot of trash scattered about. We only had about and hour and a half to hunt not including travel time but these places still call me back. This time...

    Two days, two Large Cents

    Well I finally got out to start the season. I went back to an area on Sunday that I worked alot last year. Many acres of old farmland. I just got the 12" x 15" and wanted to hit the same area for awhile to see if I missed anything with the stock coil. Nothing found on that property. Went up...

    Lonely silver shoe buckle yesterday

    Got out to a field yesterday, the one next to the field I found the 1918 Liberty half a week or two ago. The only good thing I found was this awesome condition silver shoe buckle. About an inch long but in kickin' condition. Even though it was the only quality find for the day, I am very...

    Etrac problem

    Ok, I have had an issue with the Etrac two separate days. Here is the problem, during normal search one day (happened 3 times) in a field, and today at a fresh water beach. 1. The sound goes dead, but the screen stays on and acts as normal when I pass it over targets. Although the depth...

    Few field finds, Walking Liberty Half

    Back to the fields again. This field has been used for 200+ years. The thing that kills me is that with all the use, I have found so few coins. I definately think that they have been plowed over the years and everything is deep. Found a colonial button, clad dime, buckle of some sort, part...

    Cellar hole reveals nice dimes

    Got out Sunday with my 13 y.o. son Matthew. He hasn't been out hunting with me recently because of all the things that go with being 13. School work, friends' houses, sports, more homework, etc. Well Sunday after the homework project was done we headed out to 4 cellar holes. We spent about...

    Question on a found pin.

    I have been hunting two farmsteads, both from 1790. I found the key type relic at the top of the picture under a shoe box sized rock in the middle of a field. I was thrown by the signal because of the large rock, but at 12-47 I also had that feeling of large silver. I dug a plug and 3" down...

    Larger coil, any preferences and why.

    Looking to upgrade to a larger coil for added depth, and field work (cover more area). I was wondering from the guys (and gals), what larger coil do you prefer and why?

    1797 Copper, buttons and whatsits

    Found a new cellar hole. Dates on same are up in the air but probably late 1700's. The area is mowed and used as a flower garden in some areas. Below are some pictures of the Drapped Bust Cent I found today. I was on site for about 30 minutes, searching haphazardly at first to check out the...

    1796-1801 Large copper today

    Well I have been hunting an old farmstead that was built in 1790. The owner has lived here for over 50 years and at the ripe old age of 90 wonders what the hell the interest is in walking back an forth over his fields with some electronic device. I asked for permission a couple of weeks back...

    Short hunt, low mintage Barber

    Got out tonight before dark to a field that was just mowed for hay. The old farmhouse that I got permission to hunt on was built in the late 1700's. I only had about an hour to hunt and got a few newer models. One '44 wheat, a memorial cent, two clad quarters, and last but not least this 1894...

    Cool Navy button and buckle

    I went out for a couple hours this past weekend. I was on vacation and in an area that has alot of history. I went to this cool park with huge old trees, they have to be at least 300-400 years old. I had visions of grandeur, possibly hitting it big but then reality set in and I know that this...

    Future heirloom recovered

    A friend of a friend texted me today and asked if I still had a metal detector, that a woman had lost her earring near the baseball field last night. I responded that I did have a metal detector and could help. I met up with the woman at her home and we proceeded to the field where I asked to...

    Excal 3 hour hunt strikes gold

    Hunted a small beach for about 3 hours today with the excal. The aluminum was plentiful, I started out on a bad streak and nearly called it a day. I thought twice about that and I am glad I did. I got a bunch of clad and mixed in were these two rings, both 10k, and the earring. It was a...

    Fresh water Excal hunt

    Third time out with the new Excal. Did a 2 hour fresh water hunt on Saturday. Even with waders the water is coooolllldddd. My feet were numb. I thought I had a good one when I pulled this ring from the scoop. But...costume jewelry. The earring was nice. Opal with silver. I had about 20...
