Back at the beginning of April I had posted on Face Book a picture of some old coins I had found. One of my Face Book friends commented on the photo and said that she liked the coins and mentioned that she had lost a class ring when she was a girl. I had graduated with this lady back in 1970...

Trying to get in a few hunts before the snow flies. I put this nice little collection of finds together today on a hunt at a small near by town.

Wondering if there are any MD'ers in my area?

I've been using my Excal 1000 to hunt in the water at some local beaches. I've found less gold than normal but some other interesting finds. The very nice weather has warmed to water to the upper 70's which is a very nice plus this year. I'm usually in the water by 5:30 am and don't get out...

I'm sorry to say I haven't been out MD'ing much the last few months. The weather has been great here lately so I decided to go to a small unmarked park not far from here. I hunted it hard with my DFX that last few years and managed a large cent and a very nice 1861 half dime. I wasn't...
