Weather was great today but I think I have this beach cleaned up pretty good. I really had to work to get the older stuff today. Another dated Buffalo Nickel, two more wheats and some clad and the first find of the day, I thought I had a clad half dollar due to the size, I couldn't tell since it...

Lake was rockin and a rollin today, could hardly get close to the water but in spite of the 30 mph winds and huge waves, I did manage to pull out some oldies from the shore and cuts. First buffalo with a visable date for me and getting it from the sand with a date made me happy.... however, no...

Have to say I'm having a ball digging these old coins although it is getting harder to do. I need mother nature to blow up a good storm to move some sand around or I need to find some other beaches to try. I never thought I would still be digging in the sand this late in winter but Im happy with...

Well, after yesterday, I couldn't resist going back today. Must have been a heck of a blow last night cause that cut I got all the silver off of wasn't there anymore. There were other good cuts but not near as productive. I did manage to pick up 5 more wheat pennies and more gold. I have to fess...

Best day on old coins and 3 Firsts by cdv » 1 minute ago Got up this morning and after looking at the radar, almost didn't go... sure glad I did. I hit the cut on a fresh water lake I found a 43 quarter two weeks ago, hoping that it had more old coins there, what a day. Three firsts today, a...

33 degrees, snow, minimal wind, day off, what the heck to do:huh: Ah, you will never know your limits until you test them! Off to the Fresh water lake again for Round 4. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had lowered the lake even more. I was walking on wet sand where 4 feet of water was two...

First time out in water with the new CZ-21 and coming to an end of this good weather up here in Ohio so I had to get out when I heard it was going into the 50's. Started out at 8 am driving to the lake and when I got there at 9 am, it was all of 32 degrees. Wearing longjohns, chest waders and...

Well, I just couldn't let it go without knowing if I would have found more if I would have had my chest waders. Wow, I'm glad I did it even though it was raining. My very first hit was a fits all junk ring and it didn't stop on my first pass at knee to thigh deep. That was the area just out of...

Local lake I used to fish and decided to give the beach a try since it was such a nice day. They lower the lake each fall and most of the swimming area is easier to get at now BUT I didn't take my waders, only knee high boots. I found all of this stuff in less than 2 ft of water and had signals...

Had a whirlwind 3 day trip to Virginia this past weekend. Relearned alot about the beach and my detector. Had some problems that I think will need fixed by Tesoro, it appears that I have a lose connection somewhere and every once in a while the detector gets real chatty and won't respond to my...

Back from the beach and this is actually my best find. Not sure of the date since it is in Ethiopian ..... They date coins with a different system and my brain hurt just trying to figure it out. It is a pretty cool looking coin that is worth less than a penny but is made of brass. It sure holds...

Well, as of next week, I'll have gone to the beach more this year than I have in the past 57 years.... LOL talk about an addiction. I'm off and the wife is working, she said she didn't care what I did so... off to the beach for a whirlwind 4 days and 3 nights... No one to worry about but me...

This may be a long post, sorry... I just got back and unpacked from a week at Ocean City Maryland. This turned out to be an eventful week battling Mother Nature and a cold but somehow I managed. This week was an exact opposite from 5 weeks ago at Myrtle Beach. The wife and I of course had...

I had to visit my daughter in Maryland this weekend and decided that since I was so close, I should extend the stay for a few days (week) and head to the beach. The wife and I will be on the beach this afternoon and will be there till next Saturday hoping to do as well (or better) than we did in...

So today at my brothers house we are talking about MDing and the sister inlaw says to go over her daughters house to detect. The house and land has been in the family for over 75 years and my brother had found a merc there once before. So we go and start finding quarters and pennys all over the...
