    Finally rain and some beautiful days led me to three lil Indians.

    Finally rain and some beautiful days led me to three lil Indians.

    Got out today with my hunting buddy and we hit two houses this morning. I didn’t do too bad as I was able to get a 65, 71 and 74 Indian. Dug a lil round thing and looks like sinker but way to light. Maybe an old pendant? Although Im glad we did get rain finally. I think about all the people...

    "The differences in the Explorer series models including useful tips and information"

    Thought I would add an ID chart I found online. This is for the people that prefer to use VDI numbers instead of the Smartfind Screen. Credit to the owner whoever made this.

    Another great morning hunt at the 1830s home.

    Against my body telling me not to I went hunting again. I went back to the same site I found the 1797-1807 LC and the 1825 1/2 Cent. I hunted the same large area today and ended up with four flat buttons, two Cornet LCs a 1818 & 1835 and a 1854 Seated dime. Three of the old buttons I gave to...

    After 45 years scratched a big one off the bucket list 😀.

    You’re not kidding. I just couldn’t help going back after the oldie I found earlier this week. My hunting buddy didn’t even go today because he said it was just to hard to dig. I agree it’s hard hard. No rain in sight for at least another week. 😕 Thanks guys for all the 👍 up. I’m pumped about...

    After 45 years scratched a big one off the bucket list 😀.

    Went back again today to the early 1830s era home although ground still hard as cement. I did bring my new revised number two version of my digger which helped tremendously in getting a nice plug started. Thought I would hunt the humongous side yard field. Low and behold like my 3rd dig was a...

    Who would like to see a new Explorer xs come out with a lighter and waterproof housing and coil.

    Exactly, well I guess a Nox body would work too. 👍

    Ground is hard as a rock but, managed a few finds.

    Got out with my hunting buddy at a home we hunted years ago. This home happens to be very historic and is a registered place. Anyhow, the new owner granted us unlimited hunting of the property. The home was built in 1830s. I took my custome made digging shovel “version one” and it did great but...

    Got out today and hit a special house.

    I got out again today to hunt with my long time hunting buddy. I garnered permission at a house that kinda had special meaning to me. It was built in 1875. When my folks moved to Ohio from Kentucky back in 50s they rented the second floor of this home. Now I remember as a child going there a...

    Nothing important but, I did find one interesting item.

    Got out again this morning with my hunting buddy. Hit an old 1800s school house we have hunted for years. I scored an 07 IH there and the usual shotgun caps and misc junk. On the way home we hit another house built around mid 1800s and didn't expect to find much as I hunted it many times before...

    Finally some softer ground here in Ohio.

    Yes, It’s in really good shape imho. Nice to find one that is in nice shape for a change.

    Finally some softer ground here in Ohio.

    I agree. I’m just happy to be out hunting with my friend.

    Finally some softer ground here in Ohio.

    Got out with my long time hunting buddy today and garnered permission at a home we had never hunted. It’s not a real big yard at this 1880-1900 home but, big enough. Dug a bunch of clad and junk. Two keepers for me were a really nice 1887 IH with a full liberty and a token “Good for one piece of...

    Finally got out again. Hard dry digging but, some good luck and bad luck.

    Got out with my hunting buddy and we hit a home we had hunted about 15 years ago. The farm had a new owner but, had no problem letting us detect. I got lucky and found a 1850 LC but, that was it other than junk. I hunted primarily around an old bank barn I had never really hunted. Sadly my...

    Good hunt for myself and hunting buddy today.

    Well, Ted you should donate it to me then so, I have a back-up 😂😂😂 In my opinion I can’t see myself hunting with anything else. Yes, I am biased I can’t help it as my Explorers have treated me good since my first XS.
