A variety of sources are predicted to emit at meter wavelengths and would likely appear as transients. This source list includes extrasolar planets, brown dwarfs, and prompt emission from gamma ray bursts. Low frequency VLA observations are well suited to probe the dynamic radio sky, given the the large field of view (> 150 deg2) at 74 MHz and sub-mJy sensitivity at 325 MHz. We present results from various low frequency radio transient searches using data from the VLA archive, a rich reservoir of largely unsearched data. In particular, we report on multiple 325 MHz searches using targeted fields and an all-sky search using fields from the 74 MHz VLA Low frequency Sky Survey (VLSS). The VLSS variability and transient emission search is the largest to date, covering over 3 pi steradians with minute to multi-year flux measurements of 50,000 field sources.
