I've been quite busy. I know last year I got a lot of digging done in Oct. Hoping for a repeat. Probably got out for an hour total this month.

I've been quite busy. I know last year I got a lot of digging done in Oct. Hoping for a repeat. Probably got out for an hour total this month. If I only got out for an hour, I would crack up ;-) This is only my second year in this hobby and already I look at the world different. I can`t drive by an old area, without thinking how I would like to get in there and swing. I`ve learned more about the local history in the last two years than I`ve known in the last twenty. Started to do research, joined the library, and even got the nerve to approach a few land owners to talk history and get permission to detect their land. Not a day goes by that I don`t think or talk about metal detecting, one of my co-workers, who also metal detects has been drawing funny metal detecting cartoons (about me) on a white board outside my office. He dosen`t get out much either, he says he lives vicariously through me :-) Not sure if what I have is a medical condition or not, I just hope they don`t find a cure :-) Happy detecting all, keeping posting, and congrats on the harbour finds, love the history! |

Same problem here, drives my wife crazy. Can't go anywhere without sizing it up as to its historical value and the potential to dig up something good. I keep a running list that has exceeded three pages now so that I can get back to it at some point. But as Leafs pointed out, I've learned infinitely more about the local and provincial history in one year than the previous forty! And hence my kids at 7 probably know more now than I did just a few years ago. It really is a great activity, gets you out and learning and thinking. You have to have sharp senses, a keen eye, be able to map read and do many other skills.
Cheers

I don't have the time either so I forgo less important things like eating and sleeping. There's lots of time for those when I'm dead.
I tend to do a lot of little digs whenever I have a half hour or so. That's why the research and recon is so important, gotta make your time on the ground profitable.
Cheers

Best research is not at the library it's talking to the old folks in the community. How many times in my younger years I searched areas only to find it was developed.....people not books for research works here!

I second that. Just a couple of days ago I was out scouting around, not turning up much because the whole place had been plowed under to make a sewage treatment plant. A guy approached me for a chat and he goes on to tell me he's been coming here since way before the renovations and describes what it used to look like. He goes on to tell me about a whole bunch of other locations in the same area that haven't been touched and maybe I'll have better luck there. I haven't hit them yet but at least he saved me a lot of time finding them. Research will get you close but talking to people will get you on the mark.
Cheers
