    D'Oh!!!!!! I upper shafted myself....

    Hello all, I was hanging in MN where we are weeks away from being detectable, just got another storm and no above freezing temps until late next week. I got a call about a job in Southern WI. Shut down the cabin and packed my goodies. Today was going to try detecting a park and started...

    Fat lady singing up here in MN. Tomorrow may be last day of detecting...

    Luckily I got out yesterday and pulled a Walking half, couple of IHs, a V and early Buff. Tried today, but in places where there was no grass ground was already starting to freeze. Don't see any warm up in the next's week forecast so she is probably solid until April or May. Perhaps I'll have...

    Three 1935 Washingtons.....

    Hello All, I'm back up in Minnesota. Been tons of ground moisture and I should be getting out more often. Except it's raining again right now. I found three Washington quarters the last two outings. And all were 1935 plain. What are the chances? Did a local bank(s) get bags of that date...

    7 out out of 11 teen wheats

    Howdy all, It's been dry and like concrete here, only detecting is construction hunting. Last few days we got a couple of good soakers. Got permission last week from a friend who is selling his house. Built in 1904, probably oldest house on that block, and at a much higher elevation than the...

    Another first, silver Barber family in one day...

    Howdy all, Yesterday I saw rolls of sod down the street at the construction site. I had gone over this area last Saturday because I knew they were getting close to being finished. I didn't find all that much and wasn't going to try again, but for some reason decided this is the last chance...

    Minelab 20, eyeballs 2

    Hello all, Back in Wisconsin again. I checked out a local road construction site close to my house. I've hit these terraces many times over the years, got a two center a few weeks ago. Anyways discovered they had removed a bit more topsoil so I hit went over them again. It's dry and its...

    Went back to the yard where I found the 80 wheaties....

    I was wondering if I could have had a 100+ wheatie DAY last week. Turns out yes, but I will have to settle for a 100+ wheat YARD instead. That still is a personal best. It had been too dry for detecting lately, but we got a couple of inches last night. I tried hitting a couple of other...

    Three hour hunt- 11 silver, 80 wheats, personal wheatie best.

    Hello all, I'm back up in Minnesota. Last Sunday I got a call from James(ND), he was at the place where he and the others had been having so much luck. I cruised on over and found quite the crowd gathering around the place. Not MD'ers but the general public. Saw James swinging away in a...

    2 center #2 for the week.

    Hello all, I've only found 4 two centers in my detecting career, two of them this week. It's been dry here, too dry for detecting lawns. Last night on the way home from a service call we got smacked by alot of rain. Looks like it missed my home town; just enough to wet the sod. Ding-nab-it...

    2 Center, IHs, extremely rare error coin....

    Howdy all, I was going to go for a long(ish) drive to check out a new site, but wussed out and went local instead. I headed over to a farm that I detected heavily last spring and found a few LCs and pretty IHs. Last few trips there have been much swinging and little digging. Think I got one...

    6 IH, 5 Silver, one very sweet seated Afternoon.

    Howdy all, Got permission to do several houses. Last night we were supposed to get a inch or so of rain. Turned out to be much less than predicted. And the grass has grown. I don't like to detect in taller grass and dry ground; depth seems to suffer hugely. Think I'll stick with...

    1293 coin found in Wisconsin

    My girlfriend had the scanner for a few days. I found this last week but didn't make the time to do a scan. I saw a guy working on a house in a nearby town. Stopped in and asked if I could detect. English was not his first language. Found a couple of wheats and a very nice buffalo, then...

    Half, Quarter, no dimes.....

    Hello All, I was looking at some old plat maps last night and saw an area on the 1874 map that I knew was still a public area.. I'd been meaning to give this area a try for awhile and today I did. I drove up fairly late this afternoon, cool and windy day. Grass is still short around here but...

    New Scanner, 1904 Wisconsin Republican Convention

    Hey folks, Been detectable around here for a couple of weeks but I've only got out a couple of times. Need to get moving before the grass does. Bought an Epson V300 scanner last winter to try digitize old photos and negatives. AND it certainly does a better job on coins and artifacts than...

    2010 Begins- Dirty Fingernails and a disappearing "S" in Southern Wisconsin.

    Hello all. Beautiful day here in Southern WI. I drove down to a southern facing hill where the snow has been gone for a couple of days. I probed with my screwdriver and the ground was eminently pokeable. (If I ever manage an all girls rock band I think that would make an excellent name for...

    Tumblin' tumblin' tumblin', keep them wheaties Rumblin'

    Listening to my rock tumbler. I'm feeling very confident that we will not get a thaw that allows me to add to 2009 totals. Did a bunch of snow shoveling today. I just went and counted and added up all my coin finds since I was a tadpole. Bet I've made at least 2 cents an hour unless you...

    It's snowing and freezing. I believe the 2009 season will go out with a whimper.

    Unless we get a warm up....... Today is probably the last detecting day. Daytime temps barely above freezing for the next week or more. I went out and tried a few places, including old faithfuls. Only four wheats to show for the effort. And it wasn't much fun. Cold fingers and toes. Last...

    Turning on Backlight causes chatter....Anyone experience this before?

    It's getting dark early and detecting time is limited. The last few times I've been out past dusk I've noticed when I turn on the backlight my XS gets very chattery, just like getting close to power lines. I didn't do this before. I might take it apart and reseat all the PC board connections...

    Two Merc/Barber twosomes and a LC.

    I was detecting some road construction a couple of weeks ago and saw a police officer coming my way. Wasn't sure it was for me so I kept detecting. It was for me. Someone had called. I explained that the terraces are public property. He agreed, but wanted me to check with city hall so if it...
