I was wondering about Epi-Hunter and Angel too. I think Epi-Hunter replied to a post about a year a half ago and I thought "wow she is still around". Cool to see that list of originals as well...some of them I have heard of before via YouTube or blog or other forums. Although I am a coin guy...

Thanks Drew. That marble count is not correct. I think I am approaching 50 though over the past 8 years. Anyways here is a close up of the GAR medallion you asked for...

Its been a very slow time for me with the silver coins. But I am still finding some cool things. In the first pic there are a few old indians and a few old nickels including an 1882 Shield Nik. Marble #345. The pendant states "32nd National Encampment G.A.R. 1898. Our Heroes Cin. O." Even...

I found a very nice 1907 Barber Quarter back in June I believe. After I posted it Tony2Cent suggested I use a method that was posted on here from 8 years or so. Anyways I am VERY pleased with the results. The recipe can be found here... http://www.americandetectorist.com/f...de-From-Silver...

Without getting too specific yes these were from 2 city parks, 1 school and 1 fairgrounds in an urban area that I would consider big. But I am from the country so big is relative. Here are a couple close ups of the Flying Eagle. I gently scraped some dirt off and then I lightly rubbed it...

On Labor Day I went detecting all day in a city I have done very well at over the years. This hunt was one of the best I have had in years in terms of qty and variety of the good stuff! First stop was at a dog park at 6:30am before the dogs started showing up. First hole was a sterling ring...

Last year my 4 kids and I dug 40 War of 1812 era US military buttons and it was a blast at our cottage in northern Michigan. This year was even better! We dug a total of 43 buttons! Many are flat buttons and about 10 were burnt beyond recognition. 21 were found at the same site at last year...

I did not detect very much in July and early August due to the lack of rain in my area but I managed some "new" silver coins. The one exception to the new silvers is a Capped Bust dime I already posted about...still pretty excited about it even though it is nearly slick. Also found a really...

I went detecting today during my lunch break at the 1950 home where I found the wedding ring I already posted about. I found a lot of clad, about 10 wheats, a 1951 rosie and then I found a very old coin that blew my mind! A Capped Bust dime! It is nearly slicked out and I put my personal...

Last night a had an hour to kill before meeting up with my family near my work so I detected a small school to kill the time. After about 10 minutes an older guy walks up to me and asks me if my detector can find gold. He then tells me that he lost his wedding ring about 6 years ago and never...

I really had a great month....just wish my silver pocket watch was half as nice as DiggerDon's. Also this is the first month in what seems like a year where I did not find a war nik...probably need a new coil. Happy hunting - Jared

A very nice detecting month for me. I found another Flying Eagle at the same place I got one the month before. It is pretty cruddy but I will take it. Managed 2 completely toasted Indians that same hunt. My silvers for the month... My favorite find of the month was the 1823 LC I found...

I had a very nice April. I received a couple new field permissions where I found lots of buttons, most of which were porcelain, and a few other old items. I did not find any coins which I was surprised about but I did get my first Civil War Infantry Cuff button. I had a really cool...

It is so nice to be able to go out detecting again after the long winter. Most of these finds came during my lunch breaks at various parks nearby my work. I started March with 42 wheats before finding a silver coin...kind of an aggravating stretch. The 3 war nickels came in one hunt last...

Weather has cooperated nicely here in SE Michigan the last few weeks and I managed to get out last week during my lunch break and found a 1952 D Washington quarter to start my 2019 year. Then on Saturday I visited "Morgan" Park and came away with some awesome finds. The first was a 1926 D merc...

2018 was a great year for me! I had a few personal bests and bucket listers and overall just a fun year detecting. I bought an Equinox 800 which is known for finding the low tones so lets look at my nickels first. I found a personal best 25 war niks and a personal best 11 V niks. Also found...

Here are a couple pics of the crossed cannon collar disc that a few of you asked for some better pics...

Here are my November finds. I did not get out nearly as much as I would have liked but its hunting season and my family loves venison. Half of these finds came on a couple hunts at a honey hole in my hometown in Ohio. Not too many silvers this month but I did get past the 80 mark so I am...

I had a pretty nice October detecting. Nickels were the theme for me for much of the month. I found 8 Buffs, 6 War Niks and 2 V niks. I found a couple old coppers one of which is wiped smooth so no ID but I am pretty confident it is a coin. It was deep and I found it at the same place I...

I have already posted my really special finds from this month (Capped Bust silver, Seated Q and Canadian Half) a few weeks ago but here are the rest of my finds. It was a fantastic month for me! At one point I had a stretch of 17 silvers in 17 days. I found 8 war niks, 9 mercs, a rosie and a...
