I guess if you are going to find pennies, those are the ones to find. lol I'd sure like to find a couple in that nice a shape. Most of mine come from crop fields and are pretty well eaten up. ...

The ground has been a little rough on your 1/2 cent but I'd keel over if I made a find like that. Congratulations! :clapping:
Let me tell you of my experience with the D2 coil on my Spectra. Last fall I called White's and inquired about sending my D2 coil in because it falsed so badly anytime I even slightly bumped the left...
Congratulations on another great hunt. That bust dime must have been dropped not long after it was minted. :peace:
I found this great seal button at a site I just got permission to hunt. I don't think it is really old but I've been wrong before. lol The button is a larger size, like what would go on a long winter...
Nice report on the X-5 coil. I really like mine for the trashy areas and it gets pretty good depth for a coil that size. I recently hunted around an old farm house that had so much iron my E-Trac was...
I'm starting to think there is a silver fairy going ahead of you planting old silver coins. :rofl: Another outstanding hunt! Be careful you'll wear that E-Trac out. :lol:
A good friend of mine gave me the atlas I have. He bought it from the historical society about 30yrs ago. The only other atlas like it that I've seen is in the county museum. I used to go there and...
lined up several sites to hunt all owned by the same man. I posted 3 plat maps view of the general area I want to hunt. You can see that several of the home sites shown on the 1865 map are gone on...
If you can't find the owner ask the fella that is renting the land. The reason I ask the owners is that I generally know them. If I can't find the owner I would ask whoever is farming the land. If...
looking at all those coins made my digging arm tired. lol Using that small coil sure helps weeding the coins from the trash. Keep that up and you'll have enough money to buy more detecting equipment...
Congratulations on a great hunt! I would get bored finding that much silver. Not really but it sounded good when I typed it.:rofl: It's amazing what is still left in the ground for us to find. Too...
I will just clean it up, put it in a staple-up and give it to him or his folks. I always make sure I give the owner at least one old coin from his property even if I only find one. It has always paid...
I would have paid money to see that. rofl Out here in the sticks they don't play disc golf or at least I haven't seen them. Remind me to stay on your good side. :clapping:
Randolph Co. Indiana is where I live. It's located in East central Indiana and I live about 3 miles from the Indiana/Ohio state line. That's about 25 miles north of where I-70 crosses the state line...
Always looking for new detecting friends. I'm located about 25 miles north of I-70 and about 3 miles from the Ind/Ohio line.
Congratulations, that is one nice seated dime. That was a great hunt. Are you sure you can't get just one more hunt at that place? I'd bet there are some more coins hiding from you there.
I live in a rural county, the largest town has under 6000 people and the 400 sq. mile county has just over 20000 people. Not all of them know I detect for a hobby but a good number do.
I was...
Any time is a good time to hunt fields as long as there are not crops you can damage. I use plat books to find the home sites in fields. I have a plat atlas with maps dating back to 1865 and I also...
That's a good second trip. Congratulations on the silver! Could there be a third trip to that site?
That's a lot of good targets for a small yard. Are you going to hit that place again? Whenever I find a site that good, I always go back at least one more time and almost always find at least a few...
That was too subtle to an old f*rt like me. lol Please remember you are dealing with MEN for the most part. We are like kids, we don't take hints and things have to be very obvious for us to notice....
Outstanding first hunt with your new detector. Congratulations on the silver!
Welcome from Indiana. I'm new here also. Just wondered in what part of Ohio you lived? I live about 3 miles from the Ind/Ohio line and about an hour's drive northwest of Dayton.
Spent an hour at an old farm house close to home. Only made 2 decent finds and the rest were memorial pennies. :grin: Had to be some of the worst ground I've hunted with iron so thick the E-Trac...
