Had taken down this site and my blog for a couple of days, and pondered the pro’s and con’s of continuing both. I enjoy staying in touch with a lot of my old friends, but often find myself struggling to come up with anything new or anything of interest. I also don’t get out detecting much anymore, and that doesn’t help the situation.
In any case I decided to continue entertaining you with my banter (polite word for BS), and thank those of you who emailed, asking why the sites were down and encouraging me to continue on with them….

A FEW OLD CELLAR HOLE FINDS
My friend Dave Wise (a.k.a. Heavymetalnut on forums) from back in “Yankee” land (Connecticut) has been posting a lot of his finds and videos on Facebook, and I am envious (as well as pissed). If I ever see him again I am going to cut the wires to his coil.
When I look at the videos I remember areas, homesites, cellar holes exactly like those shown. I know there are probably a few around me here, but so far I have not found them. Something about those leaf covered, wooded areas, loamy soils that I miss. Here are a few videos that Dave and his hunting partner Todd Hiltz shared on YouTube….

AND FROM THE JERSEY SHORE SURF AND BEACH HUNTERS
Neat video put together by Bill Ratpack, member of Brian Mayer’s Jersey Shore Beach & Surf Hunters group on Facebook. If you do any water hunting at all, do your self a favor and look them up. Lots of great information shared there. Brian is also a member of the South Jersey Metal Detecting Club.

Awesome site Dick! Thanks for posting a couple of my youtube vids. Very honored to have you as a friend even though you like busting my stones all the time. LOL!
Stones? You can say “balls” on here Dave…..it’s not just a Yankee thing you know.

Bill

Nice to have you back Dick. Your an inspiration to a lot of detectorists.
Thanks Kenny….just get those moments when I have to think about things. My wife wishes they were more often.
Good to see you back, Dick. (: …especially love reading about your encounters with the PBNS!

Encounters? Maybe battles or pissing matches is more appropriate.
As I sit here eating a bake potato, happy that you are continuing to banter us or as you put it stuggling to come up with interesting comments for your board. (just think at our age it’s a good thing to be able to struggle & keep the thinking process going).
Keep up the good work
Bob you are right…..please however don’t remind me of my age. I am NOT that old.
Dick,
The term pre diluvial comes to mind…..that should get you running off to your dictionary….lol.
Regards + HH
Bill
Hmmm, need to thank about that one Bill…. I do want you to know however that know big words too. Locomotive, refrigerator, etc….
Hey Dick,
Being oe of the old guys in detecting (since 1971) I really enjoy you talking about the old days and hunters from the past. It is needed so we do not forget them, and their importance to the hobby. I always check your site to see what is up.
From one old guy to another…..thanks Larry.
