large cent

I made the jump From AT PRO TO THE Nox 800 First 30 minutes I found this

Been out of commission since the fall, but finally got out to hunt an old site with the nox and had a fun day. :D On top is a token for "Union Flour" from 1861, and the Braided hair—my first even though I have some matrons and a couple draped busts— came out in the same hole as the holed...

So, I've been super busy so far this so called "Spring" here in NY. Work, car troubles, college stuff for my oldest...and finally today after a long day I had a few minutes to spare. Got home and said to my 7 year old boy, "Hey Bud. I'm gonna go out with my machine for a few minutes. Want to...

Hello everyone! I am a newbie here in Schenectady, NY. My girlfriend got me a bounty hunter jr to see if I'd like metal detecting, and on the third day of playing with it I dug this 1805 liberty large cent in my back yard. Needless to say, I think I'm hooked! I should have a Garrett ACE 250...

Welp. Can't say I'm not a happy boy. Two different sites today. One was actually on a mushroom foraging expedition but I brought along the AT Pro just cause I knew it was old. Right along the path, beep beep beep. 1839 large cent. Yes! Second site was for metal detecting only. Permisson. Old...

Found my first large cent with AT Pro. About two inches down, rang up 86-87.

I got an invite from one of our club members to travel a little ways and help him hit a new field. The idea was to share a little knowledge and fun. We checked each other's signals when they were interesting. Each of us got our coils over all of the coins signals. I started the party with a...

Here are two first for me being a fairly new hunter of relics, in the same day no less! I have been very lucky to find some very cool stuff. The date on the Large cent is hard to see in the picture, but in your hand you can read 1816. The flat button had no markings but could it be colonial?

Finally got some warmish weather here in Upstate New York; hit an friends farm house for the day and within 20 minutes nailed a faint deep tone (approx. 8" down) that registered a 42 on my 705; I dug and first hit a old brick at about 5" (his house is wood, so the brick was a surprise since he...

Hello All, Was able to get out this afternoon for a little bit. Went to the woods behind my house where I found a flat button last week. Went to the same general area - approx. 15 foot from where I found the first one. Hit another flat button. Then I hit a good silver signal - a little bouncy...

Went out detecting today. Watch as I find pre-civil war items. Including a full live dig on a coin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTkbvMOIAIA

It was right around freezing yesterday morning when I went out detecting. This site is in Ulster county New York at the site of an old farm. The farm is long gone with the only remains being extensive stonework throughout the area. Some nice finds in the past at this location have kept be...
