Here are a few pics of my finds over the past 3 weeks or so. Been pretty dry here until last night so I hope to get out more now that the conditions are ripe for digging again. Did manage a wide variety of relics from tokens to musket ball to buckle to a sterling flag pin. One of the Indians...

I had a unexpected chance to go detecting last night so I headed to the same town I have been successful in lately. Had no expectations and just tried to enjoy the evening. The ground is bone dry...all the rain is missing my area of SE Michigan. With the dry conditions I decided to hit a...

So my wife and 4 kids went to see some friends of ours in Cincinnati all week. With no responsibilities what was I going to do with my evenings this week? Go detecting...every night...Oh yeah!!! Sunday afternoon was the first day. I hit the spot where I got the 3 barber dimes a few weeks ago...

I did another evening hunt last night in an old town. First spot is now an empty lot owned by the city but there were 4 homes on it back in the early 1900s or maybe earlier...I did not even find a single coin. Tons of trash and frustration. So I headed to an old park and used the XP deus...

I did an evening hunt last night for about 5 hours at 4 different spots. It was not until the sun set that I found my first silver, 1944P war nik, and then 20 minutes later as I was walking back to the car I got a 1942 Washington. Thought for sure that I was going to go home with the...

Here are most of my good finds from the past month or so. Its been hard to get out with end of school stuff with my 4 kids but I think I did fairly well. The silver item most everyone thinks is a small decanter top of some sort. You can see other pics of it in the "What is it?" section...

Here are a few more pics. If it is a candle holder it is a very small one.

This past weekend I found this silver thing. I put a buffalo nickel by it for size reference. It is not marked but it is sterling. The lower part of it is very thin and it fit onto perhaps a base of some sort or onto a container. It does not have the threads for screwing so it must have just...

Here are a few pics of the last couple weeks of finds. I found a fair amount of silver coins so that always makes me happy. There is a crusty old 1893 Indian and a Buff from the 1920s. I did find a bucket lister...I came across a wheatie spill and noticed that a couple of them were from...

Took my youngest boy dirt fishing last weekend. I managed a very nice 1886 "fishscale" 5 cent silver from O Canada. My boy caught a couple wheats and a nice Canadian LC from 1913. Thanks for looking!

I have not been able to do all that much detecting this month due to various things. But I knew that yesterday was going to be a nice day in my neck of the woods so I decided to take the day off work and detect all day long. I visited "Morgan Park" where I and my friend each found a Morgan...

Here are a couple pics of my finds over the last few weeks. My favorite is the 1901 indian that has AU details in my opinion. I still need to tooth pic some of the crevices more. Thanks for looking!

My first stop this weekend was at a 1870's park that has been good to me over the years. I pulled a flat button, slick Buff and a 1937 Buff, and 2 Indians. One is a 1905 and the other is a very crusty 1864. In order to get the date I had to use 120 grit sandpaper, that's how crusty it was...

Today I hit a nearby park that I have found lots of great coins in over the last few years. There are not many high tones left so I often focus on the nickel tones. I came across a perfect nickel signal (12-13) about 5 inches deep so I was optimistic that this one was not going to be a pull...

Being able to detect in January here in Michigan is a bonus! I hit one of my favorite places on Saturday and managed to dig through the frozen ground and found 4 silvers! Some parts of the park were too frozen while others portions of the park the ground was barely frozen at all. I found lots...

The ground here in SE Michigan is still not frozen but that might change tomorrow. Managed a couple sterling rings so far in 2017. I'll take them!!! Stay warm! Jared

I have had so many memorable hunts this year and yesterday I had another one! I decided to visit the place where my friend and I found the Morgan and the Seated Quarter at about 7 weeks ago. We have had about 10 inches of snow on the ground the last few weeks but over the last few days and...

Here are a few pics of my finds over the last couple weeks. Now that the snow and cold has arrived I am thinking this might be it for the year but it has been an awesome year for me! I have found a silver coin every month in 2016 which I might not ever do again living in Michigan. The...

I had a great hunt this past Friday and found 3 silver mercs (1917, 1940 and 1942) at a spot I have hammered with a friend about 4-5 years ago. Also found a 1907 V Nik, 1926 Buff, 1888 Indian and a sweet token! The token states "Billiard Parlor" on one side and "Good for 5cents at the Bar" on...
