I have to start by saying how this started. One day I was heading to the Goodwill store and I thought that I was being followed. Turns out I was! This guy saw the Minelab sticker on my bumper and he was a detectorist also. We talked for awhile and he mentioned hunting at the local fairgrounds...

Hit the fairgrounds yesterday and again today. Yesterday I got $1.07 in clad and a 53 wheat. Today I got $.51 and a spill of a 45 wheat and a 46 rosie.

I've been slacking off on my detecting duties for awhile. Trying to get things done around the house that I put off. Now I'm getting back out there. Hit the old fairgrounds 4 times in February. Came out with $4.36 in clad and 5 wheats. The 5th time out was waaaaaaay better! Only $1.41 in change...

When I want to make a pattern for my CTX or E-Trac I get together the coins and things that I want to include in the pattern. Then I take a piece of Saran wrap and wrap it around the screen. Then as you scan them in the yard you can mark the area they appear with a sharpie. Then build your...

I hit the same park as my first hunt this year. First hunt got me $2.48 a 55 wheat and a 1 yen coin. My first dig of this hunt got me a 36-S merc. :grin: Also got $3.68 a small bag full of some kind of herbs. And a small 10k ring with a teenie tiny diamond.:lol: Good luck, Happy hunting

I got a good deal of clad this year but not much as far as rings or old coins. No gold.:crying01: Good luck to everyone in 2017!:grin: The 1917 walker and the 1876-S quarter along with 1 of the I.H.'s and three of the buffys all came from a parking lot tear out in town. The cash in the last...

Headed out to the woods at Frances park in Lansing. My first dig was a 1964 Washington. Also got a small sterling ring for my first 925 of 2016. Ended with .03 in clad and a 41 wheat.

Was this past January. The first time I found a metal case with something in it. Coins inside were 1914 Lincoln 1874 I.H. 1893 I.H. 1908 "V" and 1894-S quarter.

MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY HOLIDAYS HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!:angelic:

I recently bought a ground shark shovel for digging in the woods. Today i took it out and used it. I got a really nice sound and had to crank on it to get through the (still) frozen ground in the woods. Unfortunatly it gouged up the 1919-D walker that was in the hole (full of water) I had dug...

My best for 2014 are the first silver I found for 2014. 1876 seated quarter with great details. And 14kt gold mens band with diamonds from the lake. Local jeweler said would retail at $1,600. Sorry I mostly hang out at a site for detectorists from Michigan. But I still love to see the goodies...

For those who live in cold snowy states there is a place to hunt that can pay off quite nicely. THE WOODS! I have been out several times this year in the woods in an old park near the fairgrounds. My first time out I got 4 wheat pennies and an 1834 L.C. On the 17th I found something that made...

Today i got a first for me. I have been hunting the fair grounds that i already covered with my DFX,V3i and E-Trac. The CTX3030 seems to be doing well for me as i'm also going slower. Today i got only .37 in clad but i also got my 30th silver (tying last year) a 1943 walker. I also got...

Hit a played out park today. Slow moving CTX got 2 rosies and 6 wheats.

But I did manage to find the silver ring that went with yesterdays rosie! While I was cleaning the dirt out of it over the sink I popped out one of the side stones. >:/ It's down the drain! Also a cheap aluminum ring. I also found out that the CTX3030 finds nickels like the e-trac does. But mine...
