Ken has fixed the Sinus problem with the nose on my machines! I returned to the burnt out site 12-22-2007 before our Christmas Dinner and pulled out the "J" hook, pulled and "hog" chewed bullets from a spot I've hunted many times before! Returned yesterday to where the remains of the Pelican...

Nothing special but the best (most complete) Ration Can I've ever dug (really just under the leaves)! Just look at the LEAD on this can.....the top/bottom and the seam down the side is nothing but LEAD!!!! Wow, If the bullet didn't hit You then I guess one would pass in the night from eating...

Seems as if it was only yesterday, but the time has slipped away once again! This was/has been a great site but I feel it's time to send flowers and lay it to rest......(of course this is only my feeling since I copied this data of today's hits {In total there are 3 users online :: 1 registered...

Went digging today back to one of my old burned out spots! About an hour into the hunt my machine signaled out like big iron but the meter went into the green zone. I dug down and flipped over the dirt that exposed several pieces of rusty hog wire and this pretty brass item. Even though it has a...

I got out for a little while yesterday. Returned to the same general area as the last dig. Many, many steps over this hunted to death area but I still find a little stuff. The one piece button is back marked *RICH GOLD* COLOR and came from a Camp deep in the woods. The .69 round and the buck...

Just thought I'd show off my recent additions to my collection. I purchased the .36 Tear Drop from Bill Ewing and the ex-wife (Penny) went behind my back and purchased the .58 Williams Cleaner from Bill Ewing. Hoping she goes behind my back for many more cartridge/bullet purchases!

I returned to the Old Home Place (pasture) Saturday evening after work for a short hunt. Sunday morning I returned to the woods and ran the machine with less discrimination. The machine had a loose wire but has a minor problem as well. My friend Ken (the maker of the Ground Hawk) has the issue...

I returned to where I dug the Remington's earlier this year......along the big power lines. I walked several miles before I located my first CW bullet. Somehow I missed this spot (only by 50 yards or so). Carved Sharps, side wormed .69 (cavity melted out beyond the hole), three shot Enfields &...

I hooked up with Will this morning and I hunted with him at a place he gained the permission. We both had a good day and I enjoyed seeing Will in his Excitement! I'm showing most of my finds on this post (have a couple that I need help with). Hopefully Will can share his finds as well. Will...

Hello Again My Long Lost Forum Friends! I finally went digging today even though it's still warm (upper 80's). Ken finally got the bugs out of my old machine earlier this year and I returned to one of the heavily hunted spots. I know for a fact that I've missed a few of today's finds before...

Went back to the Camp, hunted very slow and dug every whisper. Wondering what's up with the brass.....one US "I" button and the big end off two .32 Smith & Wesson cartridges! Thanks For Looking, HH, Roger

Just showing off my first ever (in 10 year) of this big round ball I found last Saturday. I found three but this one in the scan is the best of them. This one has been slightly chewed (by a hog) and the other two have been chewed really bad. I thought showing it beside the .69 would show the...

I returned yesterday to the Camp I had found Saturday evening. I posted Saturdays finds under Treasures. Yesterday was a 7 hour hunt.....lots of walking and digging. I'll return to this property trying to locate the old road bed in the middle of this pasture. Thanks For Looking, HH, Roger

Hello My Lost Friends! Worked 9+ hours today, was digging a new spot by 3:00. After crossing a fence about 300 yards from where I parked I flipped out a .69 Round, then an Enfield, Enfield, Nose Cast .577 three groove minie, .69, .69 and they kept coming! Best day I've had in a long while even...

I need some assistance with this brass item (adjuster buckle)? I found it at an Old Home Place in the center of Civil War activity along with a lead Poker chip, part of an Epaulet scale and most of a brass trigger guard. It is 3mm thick x 20.5mm wide x 59mm long. Thinking is might be an adjuster...
