Got out this morning before the heat and hunted the school two blocks from my house . Both my kids went here and I have hunted it many times over the years . My son found his first Merc dime years ago in the back field and it has given up many wheats . The school was build in the late 60's but...

This year has been so busy that I have only been out hunting in the past 6 months maybe 20 times . Today I finally got out again and hunt a school that I hunted about 12 years ago . No luck back then but today was different! The silver item I found rang out as a +75 at 4 inches , a 925 silver...

Finally got out again and hunted an older area of San Jose . This one school has a tiny park on the corner dating from the early 1900. The first hit I got was a +84 at 8-9 inches . I kept digging down and I saw BIG silver . It looks like maybe part of a jewelry box ? Very ornate detail on it ...

I think this has been the longest I have gone without hunting in the past 10 years ! Last hunt for me was om November 8th ! It all came down to working 6 days a week up in San Francisco and all the rain we have had here in California . Today I got out between the storms and hunt the school up...

Got out to the same elementary I have been hunting this past month . I keep thinking something good must be in the dirt . Today finally I was able to hunt the other soccer field and I found the something good . I had a nice +24 at 3 inches , I was sure it would be another pull tab . I was...

When I got to the school this morning to hunt I thought maybe a wheat or a junk ring I might find . Well I did a little better than that . This school gave up a huge silver ring early this year , this time it was huge silver not just in ring form . After a good two hours and a sack of clad I...

It's been a least two months since I have posted any finds due to working all the time , broken coil on my MXT PRO and my home computer finally took a dump . Now I'm up and running again . Had the day off today so I hunted a park that I had not hunted before . I believe it once was a school...

I now know how spoiled I have been hunting around the South Bay all these years . The rings used to just pop out of the ground and I would find 4 to 8 rings sometimes in just a couple of hours , but no more . This year has been a different type of hunting for me . Over the past 20 years I...

Now today is the kind of hunt I love ! All sorts of finds . The school I hunted is in an old area and I believe a ranch was on the site long ago . Over the years I have found many early items out in the soccer field , all around 7-9 inches deep . Today's finds were two spoons , the large...
