I could probably gain access to several more properties to hunt, except that I have a social anxiety that really inhibits me from speaking to people like I would like to. What types of techniques do you guys use to over come this and do any of you face battle with these anxieties? I would like...

I have been using a Garrett GTI 1500 metal detector for years. It has been a fine machine - but it has completely spoiled me. The target ID is super accurate and I have been in the habit of not digging items that do not register a certain size. I felt like a needed to go in another direction...

I would like some suggestions on finding new camp sites. I have searched high and low to try to get to "unhunted" areas, but with no luck. I think that I have been very close a couple of times, but couldn't get into the right area. I rely heavily on "word of mouth" a lot of times, and you guys...

This was sent to me by a new member to this site. He was unable to post for some reason or another. I don't know how many others got this in a PM, but I thought it would be a good topic for all to view. http://www.cwbullet.org/privmsg.php?fol ... 7170fd3180

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but everytime I do anything on the forum I get an About:Blank pop up that has nothing on it. I have an About:Blank pop up remover on my computer, but it has found nothing on my PC. I only have the problem when I come here (within the last few...

Hello guys, it's nice to see that everyone seems to be doing fine. I have been doing a little digging in what small little areas I have left available to me. I really haven't found anything worth mentioning in the last couple of months. Are any of you guys experiencing the same problem (not...

Do you guys have a hard time identifying round balls? Sure gives me a heck of a time. Any tips? They all look the same to me. How do you know if you have a .63, .65, .68, .69? All the measurements are so close that I tend to want to start guessing.

I've been wanting an ID on the one with the rings for a long time. It measures DIA .404 and at first I thought it was a MM95.... but then I noticed it was nowhere near tall enough. It's only .505 tall. The base seems to be a rocker, but it could be distortion frmo being fired? The round ball is...

We didn't really do as well as we thought we were going to yesterday, but we did go to an area that we hunted pretty bad last year. This weekend coming we will be going to a "new spot" in Port Hudson that might yeild a few goodies. One of the round balls is chewed. It is the nicest chewed...

I was wondering how many of you guys ever venture into bottle digging? I know that it has at least interested some of you... especially when you have accidentally dug that really nice old bottle when trying to dig a good signal. I took an interest into this area about 1.5 years ago. I have some...

but me and a few of my guys got out on a spur of the moment the other day (Sunday) to an old homestead that is in the family of one of my good friends. We have hunted it about 5 times already with many wheat penny finds from the early years. We originally decided to go there Sunday to check the...

This coming weekend we may have access to a site that was camped on twice by the Confederates and once by the Yanks. It has never been hunted before (at least not with permission) and we are very excited about what we may find. Thanks to Fonz (BRDave on this forum) for gaining us access. I will...

The last hunt we went on, me and my hunting partner had to scrounge to make any finds. I did come out with a MM459 or #641 on Tom's CD. I have a .56 cal that I have yet to identify and a very nice, soldier made, nipple protector. It was made from a smaller caliber minie. I also got an impacted 3...

Good job Chuck!
