    Three recent hunts types

    I hit an old park last week and was able to turn up five IHs ( 1872, 1873, 1880, 1881, 1883 ) and a few wheats incl. 1916 & 1917. This park really makes most coppers pretty toasty. A couple days ago I tried a small wooded area and found the well worn 1936 Washington. Note the 9 dots marked into...

    Recheck of old park looks good !!

    I went back to recheck an old park I started last year. At that time I found a few IHs, tokens, Vs and a merc. Last few times there were not productive so I moved on. I went back Friday and was surprised to see construction had gone on. New walks, parking lot, etc. I wish I had been around...

    Sqeezed a couple more out of last weeks spot.

    Last Sunday I detected a 19th c house being refurbished and found 3 His and a silver ring. Much of the ground area had been filled prob 20-30 years ago. I went back this Sunday for a couple hours and managed to squeeze out another IH ( 1889 ) and a two-piece brass Federal type button. Any info...

    Finding IHs and silver is good !

    I headed out Sunday to check progress on a local sidewalk replacement project. (it hadn't moved any farther). On the way I noticed a late 19th C house being refurbished. There was someone working in the house and I got the "go ahead". NICE ! The area to the left of the house is a downslope...

    Farm permission & a few silvers

    I was doing some scouting about a week ago and saw a couple guys doing some drainage work near an old farm. I stopped to ask them if it was their farm and mentioned detecting. Wasn't their farm but the guy said that he owned a farm over the hill and I was welcomed to detect. Farm house is from...

    Haven't found one of these in a while - and it has a Date !

    Nothing to post about for a while but I got out yesterday for a short hunt to an old spot. I had found some wheats and a few IHs there before. Some of the ground has been added in the past and some areas are original. I got a deep, fairly weak, repeatable signal and cut a plug. Signal better...

    Sunday: Are you kiddin' me? Monday: Redemption !!

    The city was getting ready to tear out sidewalk right next to an 1800's wooden church. I was hoping to get in before any fill was put in. Finally, walk came out late Saturday and they stopped right after pulling the walk. PERFECT !! The walk next to the church was asphalt and included an apron...

    Easter Sunday Farthing +

    Beautiful day here in Ct - sunny and perfect, cool temps. NO SWEAT & NO BUGS !! ( That'll change soon ! lol ) I hit a small cornfield for a couple hours. I managed a couple musket balls and a KG II farthing (hard to see in photo but looks like 1770). Bruce

    My day last Sunday 3-9-14

    Only a little clad but the fresh air and sun were worth it. Snow is finally melting here in Ct and I have a couple spots scouted out for next weekend. I don't usually beach hunt (even though the shore is only 2 miles from home) but last Sunday was so gorgeous that I had to get out! Picture is...

    King George and his "Minnie Me"

    Weather was warm here in Ct this weekend and I HAD to get out. It snowed the previous Sat/Sun and again on Tues. The temp was so warm the snow disappeared overnight Sat re the fog etc. I decided to try the old farm again since I had found a couple CT coppers and a LC the last times there. The...

    A little silver and another copper

    Sunday I went back to the old farm were I found two Ct coppers last week. Targets were surprisingly scarce but I managed to turn up a little silver and another copper. My finds were a "toasty" 1818 LC, a Merc and a silver Washington. The Merc came in a small spill along with four wheats. Also...

    Old Farmhouse = Double Ct Coppers and more !

    I was able to hit an old farmhouse area within two miles of my house (Been driving by this place since I was a kid). It's up for development and I was able to get permission. I know the area has been detected somewhat a while back but that dosen't stop me. I looked at 1930's aerial photos before...

    Hey, even ugly silver is good. Right?

    I turned up this silver spoon in a cornfield. Looks like it met the plow a few times in the past 100-300 years. lol It's marked W &(?) K BROWN. I'll have to do some research to try and peg the vintage. No coins in the field except a few wheats. Also found the usual assortment of harness...

    Labor Day w/e hunts - SPANISH SILVER and "stuff"

    Friday I had business in the next town over and passed a lot that had a victorian house torn down about 10 years ago. I had poked at the lot back then (before my Explorer) but didn't find much. This time the lot had been skimmed of sod in prep for some construction. The crew was just leaving and...

    Last stab at the 1700's house teardown site.

    Well, the house is gone and the area is pretty much cleared and bulldozed. I was hitting an area that had trees previously and not getting much in the way of targets. Suddenly, that silver tone chirped at me! I cut a plug and saw a small silver rimmed disc coated with black dirt. I couldn't tell...

    Military Brass Shoulder Epaulette from Colonial teardown site

    Last Sunday I found a military epaulette at a site in CT where a 1700's house was being prepared for teardown. See my entire post in the Minelab Explorer Forum for details and other items found. Any I.D. or info would be appreciated. It was about 8-10 inches down about 30 feet out from the back...

    Brass Military Shoulder Epaulette found at Colonial teardown.

    A week ago I took my kids and grandson out for dinner. On the way to the restaurant I noticed a 1700's house that was apparently being prepared for teardown. The house was gutted and a wooded area next to the house had all the trees cut down. I couldn't get back there for 2 days (which killed...

    Well, at least it's a post !

    Nothing to scream about but at least it's worth posting. I spent a couple hours at a park I started to hunt a couple months ago. Kind of a "go to" when I'm in the area and I don't have piles of time. I think this was my 3rd time here. I came out with a couple IHs ( 1880, 1893 ), a Liberty nickel...

    Mabel - I found your silver !!

    Crazy weather lately - thunder storms, showers off and on. More predicted over the next week. I got a chance to get out for a while Sunday before the sky opened up again. I didn't want to go far so I rechecked a small area I had hit before. It had produced a large silver man's wedding band. a...
