    A Bit Of History!

    When we research a vanished home site sometimes we know of little else other than the name of the owner. And more often than not there is not much more information that can be found about them. In this case I was able to track down some more details about the original owner of this property and...

    Short Field & House Hunt

    I was able to get out on Tuesday for a short hunt, it was cool and very cloudy but I am trying to get it as many field hunts before the planting starts. First I went back to the field that has given me a couple of Large Cents and some Indians including the excellent 1872 Indian. My first good...

    A Slick Hunt!

    Saturday was a beautiful day here in Ohio, so I invited my friend Bill down to do some field hunts. We both made some good finds. Our first stop was a corn field that has given some good things up in the past. I found a couple of buttons and an elegant suspender buckle that was slightly bent...

    April Showers May Bring Coppers

    Monday’s weather forecast promised warmer temps but with some chances of showers so we decided to go out and hit the field site I found last Saturday. My first good target turned out to be an Indian Head and only after getting home and cleaning it did I find out how good it really was! It turned...

    Promising New Site

    A new site gives up some promising signs, and a few old coins and some nice relics. This site was an easy one to find as there was brick and glass evident and the old map in this case was dead on. I found some neat relics including a large axe head, buttons and an old marble, it seems lately...

    Buttons Buttons Buttons!

    The last couple of field hunts have given some finds, mostly relics and buttons….lots of buttons! I went out to a site that has given some nice items including Large Cents and marbles…a lot of marbles! So of course I found a marble and one coin an 1885 Indian Head. The next hunt was to...

    February's Big Copper!

    The weather here in Ohio has been very cold, rainy or snow with just a couple of exceptions since New Years. Today was cold in the morning with a brilliant full moon accompanied by the planet Jupiter off to its upper right a lovely scene for sure. As the day progressed the sun warmed the air a...

    Large Start 2015!

    We finally got a small break in the weather with temps going up to the high 40’s melting a lot of the snow on the ground. I decided to go out to a field that has been very good to us this season. The top of the ground was quite muddy so careful walking was required but beneath that mud the...

    We Had A Good Year (pic heavy)

    This past year was a very good year for us. We had a lot of firsts, finding more Large Cents and Indian Heads in any previous year. Diane had several personal firsts, Flying Eagle, Half Dime, Two Cent piece amongst them. Our silver finds were not large, typically we hunt fields primarily as our...

    Detecting The Darndest Things!

    One of the most interesting things about detecting is the fact we go out and we never know what we may find and where it may lead us. I was detecting an old one room school house site, the same site where I found the Cavalry Bit Boss and Diane found an 1865 Indian Head. The old maps show that a...

    Squeezing In A Couple More Hunts!

    Large Cent From The Button Field!

    Monday was a cloudy day in Southwestern Ohio but the temperatures moderated and so we decided to get out for a field hunt. Doug came down and we went to the Button Field, despite the cornstalks it was a bit muddy and the clay like soil was quite sticky. We were there about 10 minutes and of...

    Two More Big Ones!

    Monday here in my part of Ohio was one of the nicest days we have had for a couple of weeks and we planned to get out for a long hunt but Diane woke up not feeling too well but she insisted that I go out anyway. So I went out for a couple of hours I was anxious to get back home to see how she...

    Button Field!

    Saturday my hunting partner Doug and I went out to check out a new site in a huge cornfield well actually two sites or maybe it is three! The first spot is a spot that we hunted briefly a few weeks ago and where Doug got a super whipped Seated Dime and I got of course a button. Today we went out...

    Not Half Bad...But A Bad Half!

    Went out yesterday to take advantage of the first dry day we have had in the last three. Since I figured the fields that have been turned would be very muddy I returned to the cornfield where I got the Large Cent the other day. My first find there was a button that turned out to be a beautiful...

    More Large Coppers!

    Saturday after Thanksgiving was a cool and windy day in Ohio but tradition dictated I get out for a hunt. I went out on my own in the morning and my first stop was at a plowed field. The ground was still hard and the big clumps made walking very difficult. I just found a few bits of copper and...

    Cibola for iron intense farm fields

    I have an opportunity to pick up a Cibola for a good price and I am thinking about getting it to replace my Compadre with the 5 1/4 coil. I use a CTX for my primary machine and have used the Compadre to hit sites that are now mostly only iron signals. I like the fast speed of the Compadre but...

    Three Days In Ohio Fields And Twin Girls!

    Three Days In Ohio Fields. Sunday afternoon was a nice day here in our part of Ohio so we decided to go out for a short hunt. First stop was the field where I had got the Large Cent and Flying Eagle a few days before. We did not find any coins this time but did turn up some interesting...

    New Field = Old Coins!

    It is always exciting when you visit a new field site for the first time, the anticipation and expectation of making good finds is exhilarating. The first items pictured came from a site we have visited before, it has recently been plowed since the last time we were there so it is still deeply...

    The Fields Keep Giving!

    Thursday here in our part of Ohio started out as an overcast day but soon the sun broke through and it turned into a delightful day. We went back to a field where we have been having good success and then went to a newly cut and plowed field. The first field was the most productive. My first...
