Had to make the trip one more time to Old Faithful to hunt with a friend. My friend is a early riser, so I figured by the time I get to the beach he would have a handful of silver and maybe some gold as that seems to be the case with him and this same beach. He has found roughly 75 silver...

Made it back to my Old Faithful beach and was able to find a few more goodies. I hunted both Christmas Day and day after Christmas and took home a few neat goodies. Christmas Day The Serenity pendant is marked 1/20 12k gf The day after Christmas This ring is marked 10 k...

Got out for some deer hunting and metal detecting Saturday and Sunday. NO DEER, but I did manage to find a few more Silver keepers. Saturday Sunday The Okla Tax token I found has got to be the in the best shape of all the tax tokens I have ever found. Thanks for looking, Dave

Woke up to more of the same old thing, RAIN. I didn't go out and metal detect until lunch time and only hunted a couple hours before I decided to go give a late evening deer hunt a try. I did at least see a couple deer just at dark, but they saw me first. Will have to give it one more try...

Haven't been able to do any metal detecting lately, been trying my luck at killing a deer or two. Well with the high winds and all the dang rain I have give up on the deer and went back out to my favorite beach for some metal detecting. I haven't been hunting since the last trip when I found...

Got out for some more beach hunting here in Okla. and found a ring that I have been telling my hunting buddies that I would love to find someday. As a kid back in grade school I found one just like it(no metal detector, eyeball find) and put string on it to make it fit my finger. I guess you...

Went back to the beach that has been producing some silver coins for me this weekend. Saturday I elected to hunt with the 3030 and the ATpro and got back in the water. I didn't think I had found any good stuff until I got home and started cleaning. I knew I had found a 44P War Nickel and what...

Went back over to the beach that I found the 10 silver coins and the rings that are posted in a thread called "Hit old faithful and then tried a new spot on a local beach here in Oklahoma" today 09/20/14. Well I had hopes I could have another awesome day of finding some old silver. I got to...

Saturday went out with one of my detecting buddies to Old Faithful and found a Merc and a small silver ring. My buddy found the only gold ring for the day. Pictured below Sunday I hunted by myself and decided to go to a beach that looks good but has never paid off in the 1 to 2 trips we...

Got back over to the old beach that has gave me several nice finds including two gold rings, lots of Silver, coins and rings. This first two photos are of the gold ring found during Labor Day Weekend. (Already posted in another post, better photos I hope.) Then this past weekend I found...

Got out with a couple of my detecting friends this weekend and found a little bit of Silver and Gold. We found a beach this weekend that has some age and had not been hunted to hard and decided to work the beach and see what we might find. This beach is solid pull tabs and aluminum cans so we...

My favorite part of metal detecting is finding a ring that you are able to return to the owner. A few weeks ago I got to do my favorite thing twice in a 7 day period. I hunted a small area lake and found my first returnable ring in the past few years. I love to find rings that can be...

Got out the other night for some night hunting on a local beach. The lake is about 7 ft below normal elevation, so I have been finding some older coins in some of the old swim beaches. I decided to try a beach area that was suppose to have some old homesteads that was there before the lake was...

I belong to a detecting forum here in Okla, which I am also a Global Moderator. A few of the guys on the site have come up with a ideal of doing a spring trip to somewhere close to Okla. with hopes we might get to dig some older dirt. The guys have talked about Nebraska, Indiana, Illinois...

I have had several of you ask me to post a photos of the ring I posted in the thread Silver Fever after I got it cleaned up. I have been able to get most of the mineral deposits off the ring and got most of the bent up parts straightened, I maybe able to get it to clean up a little more in...
