Hi everyone-
Well I haven't posted in a while but have been detecting plenty. About a month ago I purchased the Whites MXT and I couldn't be happier with it. Been finding some real cool stuff and it is amazing how much lower end detectors can miss.
Anyways, since I'm in school I can't hunt as much as I'd like to, so I do most of my digging on weekends. This week I'm on vacations so I've got all week! Here is a video I made of some of my hunts from late January to early February...

And here are the finds I made over the last month or so...
First wheat cent of the year was found in my back yard. Turned out to be from 1920.
I found this small 2-piece button in my back yard as well. I'm not exactly sure what it is or how old it is either. A cool find though.
Another button was found in my front yard. This is just an old button off of a blazer jacket dating probably to the 1950's.
This was a real heart-stopper. When I saw this come out of the ground I was SURE it was silver. Sadly, it is not. Still a cool find though. Has "Michael" engraved on the front.
A nice silver-plated fork found in the back yard.
Ok, so it was February 5th and I was metal detecting in my front yard. I got a nice signal, and at about 9 inches deep, I pulled out a nice looking button.
So I thought, "that's a cool find" and was about to fill the hole back in, but I stuck the Garrett Pro Pointer down in the hole and got another signal. Out popped button #2.
...Then #3!!
.....AND THEN #4!!!!! Yes I found 4 buttons in the same hole!!
These buttons turned out to be United States Air Force buttons dating back to the late 1940's. Awesome!
I had a few good hunts with the MXT and I've got a couple more posts coming very soon with some more awesome finds.
Thanks for lookin' everyone. GL & HH.
