    Back to the 1920 house....what an assortment of finds!

    Got back to the newly demoed house site today bright and early at 6:30am - I brought the glasses but forgot to charge them and was only able to film a couple digs plus an intro. Maybe next time! First coin was a shallow 1936 Buffalo nickel followd by a beautiful green 1926 D Wheat. Worked over...

    Large medallion

    Found this last night, it's made of brass and has a 1908 date under the panther. Any ideas?

    Newly demoed 1920s house shows lots of potential!

    So last night there was nearly a full moon and the rain had finally slacked off from the previous two days. I had set some new coins in the test garden and have been playing with the settings trying to get the deeper "plants" to hit more confidently...many thanks goes out to Jim (Niagaracounty...

    A few goodies today!

    Had about 6 hours to hunt today and I also tried out a new pair of Pivothead recording glasses - I think they are going to work very well for live digs! I recorded a couple recoveries, including an Indian cent: http://youtu.be/renPel0K_Tw Found a very deep and toasty token likely 100 years...

    A few goodies from a "new" hammered site!

    Took the Deus out today for about 9 hours total to a place I've never visited before. This place has a LOT of history from likely before the Civil War, and today it serves as a park and part-time golf course. It was about 80*F and windy today, almost perfect weather to hunt! Hunted again with...

    2 more silvers from the abandoned house...

    Went back last night to the house that gave up a couple of silvers last hunt - and found a couple more silvers...in the form of jewelry! I started off where I found the Buffalo nickel using Deus Fast and quickly found some more lead roofing nail caps. These hit fairly hard in 18 kHz although...

    What are these?

    Made of lead and a little smaller in diameter than a penny - found these at a homesite dating back to at least the 1950s

    Map research pays off again!

    Found an abandoned home site on 6 acres that is slated for office buildings in the next 1-2 years - there were at least three houses on the property at one point but one house was demolished in the 1980s. I remember driving by that place in the late 1980s and noticing one of the houses being in...

    Great day for a hunt!

    Spent almost the entire day today with tabman and Dad and we hit three different places around town. We first visited a new-to-us rental house in the old neighborhood but between the three of us we weren't able to hit a single old coin! We surmised that fill dirt must have been the culprit or...

    12 khz hunt with reloaded v3.2

    I was chomping at the bit all day yesterday to try out the Deus at a site I've pulled almost 20 deep early Wheats. Hunted it before using 4 kHz but the EMI was troublesome, and didn't want to hunt in other frequencies due to the can slaw quotient of the site. I decided "Screw it!" and hunted the...

    Reinstalled v3.2 tonight on a whim...and now 12 khz is HOT! :jump:

    I read on FB where a Deus user re-installs his v3.2 software every few weeks or so due to the "unspoken updates"...things like small bugs getting worked out, that according to him XP wouldn't announce but they would provide it on their website. So I figured...it's worth a shot, and rewriting...

    Deus Fast results from a hard-hit site...and a tiny surprise!

    Went out last night to the homesite that has produced many tokens, Wheats, junk jewelry, and rare silver in the past. I decided to stay close to the area that used to be the front door and driveway edge and was looking for masked targets. Set up Deus Fast and the only thing I changed was GB to...

    Cast iron leg?

    Found this at a site that burned about 100 years ago. Appears to be a piece nailed to one end...any ideas?

    Tough hunt!!! Interesting ground conditions...

    Took some vacation time this week and went to a place I've visited many times over the last 20 years to "get away from it all". It's always at least 20 degrees cooler at the top of this mountain versus the valley below, and during the summer months many people go to the general location, and...

    Hunting in less than ideal conditions...

    Hey guys - Tomorrow I'm leaving for a hunt in the high country of Appalachia and I wanted to get some pointers on a couple of things. The area I will be hunting has 12-18" tall grass AT BEST, at worst it's an impenetrable rhododendron thicket. It's very rocky of course, and is full of...

    Friday night surprise...

    Got out Friday night while the cooler air was blowing in, ushering a change of the seasons! We had almost 2 inches of rain in the last week, so the more productive areas of the fairgrounds have opened up again! First signal was a clad quarter not 2" deep and it had been there for a long...

    Tiny bit of white gold and diamonds! :clapping:

    Spent almost the entire day at three different locations and did fairly well all things considered. My Propointer had to go to Texas for an intermittent issue, so I dug everything today "old school". I started off at a small park that used to be the site of two houses side by side. These were...

    State of TN medal?

    Found this at a vacant lot which dates back to the early 1910s...nothing came up on a general search. It's about the size of a half dollar, appears to be bronze, and looks to be some kind of medal but not sure of age/affiliation. Rang up about 6" deep sounding like a dime/quarter signal... Any...

    Preserving the green Indians and Wheats...

    I've been trying the olive oil trick for these older Indians and Wheats with the increased tin content (those that read "56-60" in 4 kHz), and before I was too aggressive in trying to get the corrosion off of the coin's surface. The trick is to remove everything except the patina, and keep the...

    Coins, tokens, jewelry (and trash) from 2 vacant lots!

    So I got out Saturday night after work and again today for a total of about 9 hours...I visited two vacant lots which again had a virtual absence of surface targets. Almost everything dug came from between 4 and 8 inches and the ground was very easy to work with at both locations - not many...
