    "Realey" great hunt for me Sunday !!

    I finally managed to get to another wooded spot near the cellar hole location I've been hitting lately - I needed permission for this spot. This past spring I found a newer silver spill, a couple IHs and a KG III farthing there. I was hitting a few targets early on and it looked promissing : a...

    Cellar/woods area - one more time!

    Again this Sunday I had only a couple hours so I decided to hit a nearby cellar hole area I had worked a few times earlier this year, I think the area included a business that made bells and ringers for early telephones because of the amount of them I dug in the location. Earlier there this year...

    IHs and a WHATZIT ?:shrug:

    I hadn't hit my IH park for quite a while and I was short on time so I figured I'd give it a quick hunt. I found a few IHs: 1884, 1888, 1892 and a few wheats: 1911, 1919, 1923. Also found what I thought at first was a padlock charm but it's marked "PAT APL'D FOR" Any ideas ? The last item, when...

    'Back of the old school

    Friday I checked out a small grassed lot in back of an old school. The school is from the earlier 1900's but history shows an old store stood there before the school. The front area of the school produced well when we checked it out a couple years ago (1869 seated quarter, barbers, IHs, nickel...

    Surprising find in the woods !:clapping:

    July 4th was blazing hot in Ct but GF was working and I wanted to get out for awhile. I figured I'd head for a local wooded area where it would at least be shady! I found evidence of a small road or drive and a bit of stone formation so I started to swing. My first signal rang sweet, cursor in...

    Indians and such.

    A week and a half ago I tried near an old church which I'm sure has been hit many times, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I sampled one particular area and started finding wheats. I hoped wheats = silver. My take after a couple hours: 2 IHs 1871, 1901 7 wheats incl 1910, 1911 (2), 1918s 1 tired...

    "New" old park still had some silver !

    I tried an old park I hadn't hunted in the past. Not really a park but a large grassed area around a monument. I started poppin' wheats right away so I knew silver should follow soon (I hoped). One interesting find was the remains of some kind of leather coin holder (in the photo are what I...

    I thought I was poppin' wheats!:detecting:

    This is a hunt from over a week ago - just got around to a little cleaning. Yea, I was back at my standby park covering an area I'd hit lightly before. I was digging quite a few deep cents and not really looking closely at them before they went into the pouch. I thought I had only a couple IHs...

    At my park Sunday - found someone sitting there waiting for me!:cheekkiss:

    Took a couple hours to swing it Sunday - went back to my standby IH park. I started with my 6in DD coil for awhile. I tell you, that coil can really sniff out targets! I hit a spot that had multiple targets in a small radius. Two "bangers" and in between, the coil was picking up a high pitch but...

    A little more silver from the cellar hole area.

    Couldn't stay away from the latest cellar hole spot - it's produced some interesting finds but I think the "bloom is off the rose" at this point. This time I turned up a large flat button, suspender buckle, another pocket knife, an old phone type bell, and an 1893 Liberty nickel. The silver item...

    More "stuff" from the cellar hole area

    Sunday I got back to the cellar hole area I've been working. There's alot of ground between two foudation areas (I'm thinking they might have been some sort of businesses back in the day). I was finding mostly odds and ends - a couple flat buttons, part of a large crotal bell, a "folded up"...

    KG II Farthing! Still squeezin' this spot for 1700's!

    Rain was approaching fast Sunday morning so I headed back to my cellar hole spot for as long as I could - only got about 1+1/2 hours in before the rain. I managed to squeek out a KG II farthing. That makes five 1700's coins from this area. (KG II half cent, KG III farthing, Spanish one reale...

    Cellar hole hunt nets me a silver "first" !!

    Sunday I went back to the area I've been working - this time across the road from where I found the 1799 British farthing lasr week. There are two cellar holes side by side and a small stone Dam-like construction. I turned my explorer on and set it down and IMMEDIATELY got a signal. It was a...

    Good Friday Hay Field Hunt. I Got 1/2 DOZEN!!

    Crotal Bells, that is. I went to a hayfield that my buddy got permission to hunt (he's been working it for a month - Barber half, a few coppers, bunch of musketballs). My first dig was a toasted IH. Then I found the six crotal bells in the same general area near the old farmhouse. Later I found...

    Broke into the 1700's again - BARELY!

    Sunday I went back to a patch of woods where a couple week s ago I had found a few silver coins on the surface just under the leaves (Washington and a couple Rosies) and a toasted IH. I dug what I thought was a two cent piece then another toasted IH. Also found another bell, an ox knob and a...

    Back to the woods Friday!

    Friday I headed back to the wooded area where I found the 1814 Artillery Hat Plate. DARN - I forgot my small coil so I didn't really focus on looking for more fragments of the plate. Next time! I widened my search area a bit and rechecked some of the area I hit last time. Found a couple of...

    War of 1812 Artillery Hat Plate !!!:wiggle:

    Had a great find for myself Sunday afternoon in a wooded area. I only had an hour or two, so I hit this spot I've been eyeballing for awhile. No structures but it's close to an ancient main road and I knew there had to have been activity there in the past. Some of the area was fairly trashy but...

    TWO HEADED Indian Cent !!:shocked:

    I went back to my IH park for a couple hours last sunday. I found a couple IHs and wheats. When I got to cleaning them a bit I got a shock! I looked at one of the IHs - 1889. When I flipped it over to look at the back, ANOTHER Indian was staring back at me!! What the ***!? Was I seeing things...

    Cellar hole "stuff" - KG II & naval flat!

    I hit a "foundation" area last Sunday and found a few items. This location is right on a main road but has never been really visibal to traffic. I think it might have been some type of business way back. My first find was a small Naval flat button with guilt anchor/rope - pretty neat! My 2nd...

    Ploughed field hunt - Ancient advertising coin

    Last Wed (2/22/12) I had a chance to hit a farm field for a couple hours - weather has been beautiful here in Ct. Targets were few but I managed a few keepers. The most interesting is a double-counterstamped 1838 LC. The front is stamped "CAST STEEL" and also has a number 2. The reverse is...
