    Back to swinging

    Let me get started with an apology for being absent from the forum for a while. Unlike previous New England winters where I could get out and detect, this past winter was cold and snowy so being unable to detect, I got sidetracked finishing up various projects around the house some of which I am still trying to complete. Having put detecting on the back burner for the winter unfortunately diminished some of my enthusiasm for it however I still very much enjoy it and hope the warm weather will get me back into it once I get out more.

    Next, I hope that everyone has had a good first half of 2014. I’m not superstitious but for personal reasons, 2013 was a year that I would like to forget.

    I haven’t been out too much so far (about 20 times) so I’ll just give a summary of my finds to date. Things started off slowly and I didn’t find my first silver until my son Matt came to visit for Easter. My first silver was a 1903 Barber dime along with two small rings and Matt found a really nice 1919 Merc.

    After that the silver came along slowly with some Rosies, a Merc and several more rings and then my first quarter of the year. The large ring is a monster of a ring and boy did it ring up nicely on the E-trac.

    I can't seem to get the second half posted. Maybe too many pictures? I guess I'll wait until tomorrow.

    Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond to my post. The temps are climbing, the mosquitos are biting and the poison ivy is attacking. I thing it's going to be a long summer.
