    Got a camera- Minnesota Road trip finds...

    Actually bought a new camera from Best Buy last week, then found it for 75 bucks cheaper on Amazon. I hadn't opened the box so will return it and have a new toy to play with by the end of the week. In the meantime girlfriend got new disks for her mavica so now I can post. The first trip I made...

    Merry Widows and lots of 1916s

    Hello All, Still up north but haven't got together with Rick(ND) or James(ND). Been detecting a few farm sites and abandoned houses. Yesterday found a aluminum Condom container- prospectos. Looks like post WWI-1930's vintage. Also found two 1916 buffalos in the same hole, along with a...

    Bottlecap blues- and other ferrous- can anyone help?

    Hello all, I'm a long time(6 years) Explorer XS user. Recently purchased an F-75 and have been swinging it quite a bit in the last few weeks. I haven't done enough head to head testing to see if there are situations where one machine will simply not see what the other can see, but it seems to...

    Six IH day, 2 clad...

    Sorry no pictures, I'm up north a little east of Rick(ND) and James(ND) territory again. Been working on the cabin but have got out playing in the dirt a couple of times. Today hit a church that I have driven by dozens of times over the years. Finally found out who to ask for permission...

    Newbie to F-75 questions...

    Hey all, Trying a new machine after years on the explorer. I was/am looking for something that can deal with iron and trash better than the explorer, and be able to turn up the sensitivity in town around power lines. So far my gut feeling is that it is not better at either, but way too wet...

    Minnesota Road Trip Coin Pics

    Hello One and All, If you've been reading the forums you know I made a trip to Minnesota and a couple of trips to North Dakota to see Rick(ND) and James(ND). I didn't have a camera with me so now that I am home I took some pics for a post and boast. Here is the Silver [attachment 61540...

    Yes James, there is no D

    Hey all, Chris- usually (SoCenWI) but now for another week or so (WCenMN) got another key date today. That makes three for the trip thus far. Last Tuesday I finally made the trip to see Rick(ND)'s bar. I've been meaning to make that journey for several years. This year I broke my arm cuff...

    Another Walker Half

    Hey everyone, I've been PMing with James of ND for the last couple of days. He told me where he was headed for detecting today but I decided to pass and indulge another hobby- windsurfing. Don't get many days of winds in the 20+ MPH so when it does really need to take advantage of it...

    9 IH day, including 1908-S

    Hey all, I'm still up in Minnesota. Found a 1892-O Barber half a little while ago. Got another key date coin last Friday. I drove me pappy back to my home town last Friday. Drove around town a bit and found that they had removed some dirt to rebuild a playground near where the old...

    $300 hot rock..

    Hey everyone, I'm up north, not too far from Rick and James(NDs both). Been doing repairs around the cabin and haven't been out playing in the dirt as much as I would like. Got permission to hunt an old cabin site this afternoon, Spent some time carp hunting with bow too. Much fun. Went...

    Has anyone ever found a silver and clad coin spill?

    I've found alot of spills over the years and find it an interesting indicator of how long coins remained in circulation. By my reckoning should be able to find seated (albeit worn and thin ones) at sites dating as late as the 1910s-1920s. One spill I've never found has been a clad coin in the...

    Walker #3 from the farmstead.

    Hello fellow MDer's I did a little history research and found a school site that was on the 1917 plat book but not the 1940, figured might be a good site with little modern trash. It's a field now and turned out to be a total bust. Went back instead to the farm site I've been having some...

    Back to the farmstead

    Finally finished a project at work and should have a few weeks before I need to get busy again so it's detecting time again. Went back to the place I hit a week or two ago. Last time I hit it with the stock 10.5 and the 4.5X7 excellerator. This time I popped on the WOT. First hit was a big...

    10+ Silver afternoon,

    Hello All, I had a treat this past weekend. Met up with Mike Moutray, GOLDDIGGER, and Ted from St. Louis, and Tom from Milwaukee for a little playing in the dirt action. Found more camaraderie than coins and that was o.k. I got a 1893 V Nickel about 45 seconds after meeting up with the group...

    Beginning of the season finds

    [attachment 51020 031507Group.jpg] Found the 1892 barber a couple of days ago. 1900 IH the day after that. Late last year I posted my prettiest IH, it was a 1900. This one is very close to that- the diamonds on the hair band are all there. Now I have two beautiful 1900 IHs. Today I tried...

    The Ground is thawed....

    Hello Everybody! I grabbed my digging screwdriver from out of the basement and headed outside late this afternoon. Found a couple places where I could poke into the ground so I headed over to the local hunted-to-death-by-everybody-park. This park has some south facing hills that tend to be...

    1922 Weak D cent...

    Girlfriend left town for a several day conference and took the camera with her. Murphy's law suggests that this is a good time to go detecting. When you can't do a post and boast is usually when the better finds show up. And once again it worked out. Only found a half dozen Wheaties but one...

    Last day before freeze up #3? Civil war buttons....

    Hello All, Went back to the church/school site I hit yesterday and gridded it out with the WOT. Definitely been detected by others many times before, most of the signals were typical mixed with iron. Enough to hide from concentric coils but easy for the explorer to hit. Be worth at least one...

    Start for 2007...

    Not spectacular finds but anything dug this time of year is a bonus. I had cleaned and cataloged all my stuff for 2006 and then the snow melted and I had to reopen the 2006 records and start ones for 2007. Bummer, hugh. [attachment 44892 010407Group.jpg] Yesterday I went to a sight that was...
