I don't know why it's doing that! :hairpulling:

I'm still looking into it, but I did figure out how to approve all of the posts.

Very nice displays, Drew! :clapping:

It would take me ten lifetimes to find that many Coronets here in Illinois!

My arm was fine afterwards, but my legs were sore the next day. The owners usually tell us if it's been detected before. Sometimes we ask though.

That is one of the coolest coins I've ever seen, Dave! :wow:

So cool that it has the alphabet from 1550 on it. Amazing piece of history! You gotta love it!

That 1899 Barber Dime was an early drop. It still had wonderful detail on it. Great find!

The skeleton key is a favorite also. That one is large and it is in good shape. Nice relic!

This past Saturday I got out with Digger Don and Noah for some door knocking in a town we had never been to before. The going was slow, we got a lot of friendly yeses but it seemed that every yard...

Without question, Drew! I'd love to detect with you someday!

I started detecting with my parents' Garrett "Hunter" VLF machine, then bought a Whites 5000/D in about 1981, then bought a Fisher...

I joined this forum 10 years ago today, February 26, 2011. What a great decade it has been. When I joined the group I didn't even have a metal detector. When I asked everyone what machine I should...

Welcome to the forum! We are glad you joined us! :yes:

We would love to hear about what kinds of civil war and colonial finds you dig there in Louisiana!

No, it's gold-plated.

Late to the party.

I've never met either of those guys, but I've seen them both in concert. I've seen Robert Trujillo with both Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies, and I saw Les Claypool with his solo band. ...

It took a while, but I'm glad the badge is going back to where it belongs. Kudos to you! :clapping:

OK, so it's only an elaborate ad for EMG bass guitar pickups but it's still pretty entertaining. :)

For those who have never heard of them, Les Claypool is the...

Okay TWO sentences! :lol:

He has only learned one sentence: "Can I metal detect on your property?" ;)

Wow, Dave, those are beautiful! Obviously a lot of work went into designing and producing them. It's great that you can obtain such wonderful pieces of history at an affordable price. Very cool!

Hi Moose!

Be sure to watch Full Metal Digger's videos! Another of my favorites is a guy in New England named Mud Dog Mandy. Another one is a guy in Germany named Terra Germania. He finds a lot...

Hello, Groundhog! Welcome to the American Detectorist forum! We are glad you joined us. :yes:

The coil on my E-Trac went bad too. It was chattering endlessly. It was no longer under warranty so I had to buy a new one.

The reverse of that Shield Nickel is gorgeous! I would have left it just like that. The details really pop. I have found 10 Shield Nickels and only one of them has rays.

:congrats:

That was an awesome coin spill! Congrats on the semi-key 1896-S Barber Dime. It guides for $80 in G4 condition.

It's great that you are able to detect this time of year.

Terrific hunt! ...

The Large Cent has a line under "One Cent" on the reverse so it must be 1831.

Nice digs, Drew! :clapping:
