    :clapping:FINALLY !! Bryce's clod contents revealed

    I've never attached pictures before so this newbie took a while to get things rolling. Thanks again to Bryce for what he brings to our forum. The clod arrived quickly and well packaged including the attractive patterned paper towels around the bubble wrap. The master was right all along - It IS...

    The clod has arrived !!

    Good news is I learned that the clod arrived yesterday from Bryce. Bad news is I'm out of town for a few days::clapping: :lmfao: I'll open it up when I get home and take pictures. I just know it could be another bust dime 'cause Bryce seems to sniff those bad boys out !! Bruce in Ct

    Last shot at dirt diggin' ?

    I took advantage of the 50 degree sunny weather in Ct on Sunday. Hit a cellar hole where I'd found a nice 1797 draped cent and some other coppers along with some flat buttons last spring (also got lime disease there too !!). Managed to turn up another draped LC along with another copper...

    Thanks to Bryce

    I've been a member of this forum for only a little over a year. The fellowship of the members is amazing and it shows through the posts. I feel much of this is due to Bryce's direction and his "leading by example" to promote the quality of the forum. Bryce dosen't seem to be one who wants a...

    looking for advice on sunray probe

    I'm seriously thinking of getting a sunray for my SE after seeing them in action on the forum. I'v never seen one in person on an explorer. Does the upper shaft have to be altered and does the coil wire have to be positioned on the outside of the shaft after the sunray is mounted? thanks, Bruce...

    Quick two hour hunt at an old school Sunday. My hunting buddy had found an 1869 seated quarter there recently along with some mercs and a few military buttons. Did well for two hrs: two different size 19th cent eagle infantry buttons two flat buttons...

    Doncha' love that BIG reeded edge sticking out of a dirt clump?

    Hit a spot yesterday that I've been over many times (plus other people). I only had about an hour and thought maybe I'd be lucky enough to find a stray Merc. After about 15 minutes I got a fairly week but repeatable signal that hit at the top of the smartfind but a little to the left of the...

    Quick hunt on Saturday with only three targets located: 1809 half cent 1911 liberty nickel Huge flat button bigger than a large cent The half cent is only the 2nd I've ever found. The other was an 1804 draped found about three years ago. Bruce in Ct

    Silver "buddies"

    Found a 1946 Rosie and a 1945P nickel in the same hole yesterday - you could see the circle shape of the dime on the nickel. This was after a mini spill of five wheaties nearby. Also found another Ct copper and a "ruptured duck" Army discharge lapel pin. Bruce in Ct

    Half Dime is better than none !

    I hit a spot last weekend that I've been working on and off for years. Twenty five years ago, using a Compass machine (no discriminator) I did well with some military buttons, a few large cents and other coppers, barber quarters and dimes, misc mercs and rosies etc, a mess of IHs. More recently...

    sidewalk replacement

    I passed through an old neighborhood a few years ago - a short street with houses ranging from colonial to victorian (all very well kept). The sidewalks were all slate - uneven, lifted up by roots etc. I actually got out of my car to walk up and down each side of the street and it felt as though...

    What about the "pull-tab" signals you don't dig?

    I was killing time Sunday in a "worked out" area that screamed pull-tabs. One sounded just different enouh to make me curious. Stuck to the bottom of the plug was a 10k hs class ring - East Haven (Ct) HS class of '39. Too bad no initials. Imagine all those pull-tab signal that you skip!! Bruce...

    my pro coil must be a copperhead!

    I haven't been out as much as I'd like, but seems most times I'm finding old coppers. I love finding the old coppers - just wish they could be in better condition. Last week I found a pretty nice 1797 draped. Last month I found one that was "toast". "04" was the only thing I could make out...

    "Beat" Copper weekend

    Got out for a short while Sat - found an 1802 draped LC really corroded! about all I could see on the front was the date. Seems in CT the soil in most places really takes a toll on the large coppers. Sunday found a large copper in the woods next to a 1700's house - I can barely make out a bust...
