    Had a little luck...

    I actually went out Saturday and secured permission on a home site and a bean filed for Sunday's hunt. It is nice to not spend the first hours trying to find a spot. Anyway, the home site was hunted before pretty good (I figure). I spent around four hours and dug the world's fair do-dad (yes...

    Token House Revisited (x4)

    Neal and I hunted the "Token House" for at least the fourth time. Every time we go back I think, we pretty much hunted it out the last time. And every time we have a super hunt! I ended up with 15 tokens and four IH (one 1859 fatty) and a couple flat buttons!! It was so fun that we both got too...

    Sunday Was Good...

    I drove around trying to get in somewhere for about two hours. It must have been so that I would end up at the old hotel site. The owners were just getting out of the car when I pulled up. Super nice folks and said go ahead and good luck. I hunted up their drive to the road and the first good...

    Want to trade? I have a Explorer SE, want an F75 Ltd or T2 Ltd.

    The SE is in great shape except one tiny ding on the screen. It was used for one season, then I went back to using my Explorer II. This machine went back to ML and they put new "guts" in it. I used it once after that, so it is basically new. The SE comes with everything that was original and in...

    From a hunted out school site...

    It is just an empty lot now but the old school that once stood there dated back to the 1860's. I finally tracked down the woman who owns the lot. She said, "Oh, we have had lots of guys look and none of them have found anything. You can try if you want." It took me about half an hour to find the...

    Etrack in Cabela's...

    This may be old news, but I was surprised to see the Etrack for sale in the Cabela's fall catalog. They usually have bounty hunter models. Wonder what that does to sales? Anybody buy one from Cabela's? BF

    Great day - wierd hunt!

    On my way to detect, I drove past a corner lot that I have hunted before (1870's school site). Usually the woman's garden is in there this time of year, but it was plowed up. It was easy permission since she let me hunt before. I spent about an hour and a half and had little to show. I looked up...

    Help Identify This Whatsit Coin Please

    Has anyone seen a coin/token like this one (coin left, rubbing right)? It is the size of a U.S. half dollar and made of pewter or possibly aluminum. As you can see it must have been run over in the gravel for years. I used a little electrolysis to get it looking like this. The front has an angel...

    Hot fun hunt...

    I went back to that hunted out school site on township land. Spent the morning picking through junk. I ended up with about three wheat backs, the St. Christopher medal, a mystery coin/token in very bad shape the size of a half dollar, and a heavily plated kids "gold" ring (had me going until I...

    Two hour hunt...

    I had a bad permission day and drove around until 10:30 or so. I ended up at a hunted out school site on township land. I have hunted this site with the standard coil, so I decided to try the Sun Ray 8" (my favorite coil). Glad I did since the top third of the site has electrical interference...

    Two Keepers From Sunday...

    It was hot, the site was picked over, I dug stinkin'-Lincolns down at 8", but I did manage these two keepers and a wheat cent. It was fun to get out again. I went through two sweat bands. HH - BF

    Silvery Hunt Sunday

    I got into a farm house yard, super nice owners. I dug the SLQ first at about an inch by a huge tree. Then next was the Barber and Canadian (1900) dimes. What a great start - only three passes. I ended up with some wheats and clad but the good finds sort of dried up. Oh, I found a junk jewelry...

    Finds From Last Weekend's hunt - help with a whatzit please...

    Had another great fun hunt with Neal last weekend. We hit a few places. These items came from an old logging camp site which is now a field. The Indian Head ('74) did not fair too well but better than most from a field. Does anyone have an idea on what the do-dad is? I initially thought it was...

    My Finds From The Token Farm...

    Had a great hunt with Neal! He lined up the token farm again, thanks Neal - we have hunted it three times now. Check out what he found below. We now have pulled over 120 tokens from this one house! Here are my finds. The first pic shows the "Good for 5

    I talked to Ralph at Sun Ray the other day...

    I am getting some spare parts and headphone cup pads (from his mfg.). I asked him if he has had a sudden increase in X-5 coils (5" Explorer coil). He said, "OH YEA!" I mentioned what a great X-5 article Bryce wrote in the WE Treasure Mag. I am sure that is what is spurring Ralph's sales. Thanks...

    A Great Day Hunting With Neal!

    We hit an old home and a school site in fields and a school site that is a park. Below is my take plus a 1920 wheatback, and I eyeballed a nice old white porcelain shooter marble. I can't quite figure out what that is on the little pin. The store card reads: G.A. COLBY & Co. Wholesale Groceries...

    Found and IH and Fob!

    Had a great time in the spring like weather. Found the IH on the first pass. Fob on the second. Dug junk for the remainder of the day with only three clad coins... must have been hunted. Good to swing the coil again! HH - BF

    First hunt of 2010!

    Man it was nice to get out swinging again! That is, even thought I was wearing two jackets, long undies, two pair of gloves and etc. It was about 25 deg. with a stiff wind when I started. The site is a woods now, but was an old racetrack/fairgrounds (township property). It has been pounded but...

    I have the itch to switch...

    I have been using the Explorer since around 2000. Don't get me wrong - I love my Explorer II! I really would like to try out a lighter, better machine. Better is the tough part. I personally don't think the E-Track is better. I have a feeling the F75 and T2 are not better, lighter weight and...

    CZ vs F75 LTD...

    Hello, I got pretty comfortable with a CZ7a Pro years ago. It was a fun machine and really punched down there. The CZ 7a Pro at great depth would give a coin-coin-iron-iron-coin type of signal (running no disc). I found a lot of these to be deep coins. I am considering getting an F75 LTD. I...
