Back in June I found a spot where I pulled a Seated HalfDime, Seated Dime and a Morgan Dollar from. A hunt I will NOT soon forget. I decided not to go back to the spot and hunt it hard until I could bring my old hunting buddy who rarely is able to get out to detect any more due to his new...

All of these came from a nearby park that I (and many others) have hunted hard over the past 5 years now. I like finding the trashy areas and going super slow and dig all of the peeps and squeaks that sneak out from the trash. The 1916 merc has an S mint mark. Always fun to find one a...

Here are my good finds from the last couple weeks. A few mercs, a war nik, a buff, indian and a sterling cuff link. The silver cuff link is a bucket lister for me. Managed 3 more marbles! I now have 14 for the year! So a great couple weeks. Below is a pic of a penny I found INSIDE of...

I have been trying to get out more recently but its been tough even though the ground conditions are really nice right now. These finds are from the last 3 weeks or so of detecting. The pic of the 4 dimes with the broken skeleton key came from a new baseball field site that I think I can find...

Last week I hit a couple old parks after work and found a 3 silvers including my first Canadian Caribou Quarter from 1946. Also found a very nice 1887 V nickel. Then on Labor day I travelled to a spot I have not hit for a few months. I found 2 more V nickels (1907 and 1912) and a penny...

Wow I have not posted in over a month! The ground here in SE Michigan has been bone dry until about 2 weeks ago. First couple pics are from early August at various parks and public spots where I managed a bit of silver and some relics including a luggage tag perhaps, locket and a Hotel tag...

Last Saturday I took all 4 of my kids to an old town to give my wife a break. We spent the majority of time at an old park so that the boys could detect and fish and my girls could pick wild black raspberries. We did not catch any fish but we did well dirt fishing! I found the merc and the...

I went out Saturday morning to a park I have not been to in a couple months. It was a perfect morning...a few clouds, nice temps and most importantly no one at the park! Ended up with a great variety of finds. My first clay marble (which is marble #10 for the year! Crazy!), 3 silvers...

Here are my recent finds. I revisited the house I got all of those Barbers and just found a lonely Rosie. Rest of the finds came from various old parks. Included with those silvers were a few tokens...Winchester Junior Rifle Corps badge, A Detroit pin, and a Token that says "Children...

I already had a fantastic week of detecting but on Saturday it went to a level I only dream about. I had to pick up my boys in the afternoon who were staying at my Moms about 4 hours away. I decided I would hit a couple old towns along the way hoping to find some silver or old indians. I...

I am still excited about what I found last night! I barely slept which sounds silly but its true. OK now for the story... About 4 weeks ago I door knocked on a house built in 1886. The older couple just moved into the place and gave me permission but asked if I could come back when it was...

Last week I accomplished 2 milestones. The first happened at a school site where I found that 1952 Rosie...career silver coin #500. Then a couple days later during my lunch break I got the 1940 merc which is silver coin #100 from that park! Most of those have been found during my lunch...

Oh the last month or more has been pretty slow for me. I have not detected quite as much as I typically do but even when I am out I still have had a tough time waving my coil over a silver or any old coins really. Even Wheaties have been hard to find. Last Friday I visited a spot I have...

I have been out detecting recently but the old coins have eluded me. I have made a few relic finds though. I think this is my first relic section post! Woohoo! I took a buddy of mine to a field site last weekend. I got a few wheat pennies and my buddy got a nice indian from 1890. It was nice...

About 10 days ago I skipped out of work early and hit an old park from the 1800's. I was not expecting much because I had been detecting it really hard so far this year but was very happy to go home after 2 hours with 4 silvers. Then a few days later I went to another old 1800's park and got...

Earlier this week I took my boys down to Ohio for 3 days of detecting. Unfortunately it did not go quite as planned but that is how it goes sometimes. My hunting buddy had to cancel last minute due to a sudden illness and my boys and I had to go back a day early also for a sudden illness. But...

Here are my finds from the last couple of weeks. Found a big old tootsie car to put all of my finds in...the wheels still work too. Found good amount of silver including a silver Horse Ring. Found some lead too. A toy soldier, hem weight and an old bullet. Might be a 3 ringer but hard to...

This past Saturday was a detecting day in which I do not think I will forget for a long time! Started out at an old park where I have been doing well at recently and managed another Barber dime, 1911 D and then got a 1907 indian. With those old coins I was satisfied no matter if I dug only...

Here are my finds over the last few weeks. The silvers came during my lunch breaks at a nearby park. I have hammered this place so much over the last 4 plus years that I am now wondering around in the woods and surprisingly have run across a couple silvers. Yesterday evening I went to an old...

I had my best silver day ever on Saturday. I went back to the old park that I had been working and as usual just focused on the deep signals. All of the snow melted the day before which made the conditions a bit sloppy but the temps were about 60 and it was still February I was not...
