Permits:

For those of you who hunt in New York City, here is the link to get your yearly detecting permit: https://www.nycgovparks.org/permits/metal-detector

Even if you don’t regularly hunt in these areas, if you live within driving distance it’s a good idea to get one (they’re free), because you never know when an opportunity might present itself.

Note: Don’t throw your old permit away, because they ask for the old one each year when you reapply.

Metal Detecting Miscellany: Volume 1

August 8, 2018January 18, 2019 Detecting Diva 9 Comments

Bears Bears Bears!!!

After a decade of trapsing around in the woods of New England, I finally saw my first Bear(s). I was hunting a spot up in Kent, CT with my friend Kevin D. Kevin went to go hunt down in the meadow, and I decided not to because it was too sunny. When he came back to the top of the meadow, we were talking, and he suddenly says “Hey, whats that? Is that a bear?” I looked down into the meadow, and sure enough it was a bear, not only that, but about 5 seconds later, another bear climbed down from a small tree right next to it. Kevin had just been detecting the area minutes before that. I don’t know that they would have bothered him, but still a little scary to see a bear (or two) at any time. They weren’t cubs, but they were young.

We decided it was best to move on, but Kevin was so nice to point out that he did not have to run faster than the bears, just faster than me–thanks Kev.

Awesome Relics New England’s 3rd Annual Penguin Dig

March 6, 2018November 22, 2020 Detecting Diva 2 Comments

In only its third year, Awesome Relics New England’s Annual Penguin Dig is turning out to be the new favorite winter metal detecting event in New England.

It’s timing is perfect, the end of February, when most in the hobby are going stir crazy waiting for the ground to thaw. And its held on the beach, where if the weather is mild, that just adds to the enjoyment of the day.

This year it was held on February 24th, at Scarborough Beach in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and myself, along with over 200 other eager detectorist’s were lucky enough to be able to attend and join in on the fun.

Awesome Relics New England’s 2nd Annual Penguin Dig

February 27, 2017November 24, 2020 Detecting Diva 4 Comments

What a great day out Saturday at Scarborough Beach in Narragansett, RI for Awesome Relics New England’s 2nd Annual Penguin Dig.

All the worrying we did about the weather was thankfully a huge waste of energy, because it was the most beautiful day of 2017 so far. After the dense morning fog cleared, the sun was shining down from Detectorist’s Heaven, leading this fun loving group into a well deserved winter reprieve with temps in the 60’s most of the day.

About that Gold…

August 26, 2013 Detecting Diva 3 Comments

Have you ever found a piece of gold jewelry marked with numbers instead of karats, and wondered what those numbers represent? Most people in the US who buy their gold locally, or receive a piece of jewelry as a gift probably don’t give much thought to its quality because the US system for gold uses…
