I went detecting at a local snow sledding hill today and I dug a ring. It had spots of gold showing but it was VERY cruddy, and the crud had a greenish hue to it. Junk ring with gold plating I figured and tossed it into my bag. I wanted to clean it up when I got home (just now) just for the sake...

The new season of meteorite men is airing right now! I know some of thier stuff is cheezy, but I'm game for any show that involves metal detecting.

Total keeps include: 1 Merc 1 Rosie 1 .925 ring 1 .925 chain and locket 17 Wheats 12 Nickels 58 dimes 33 quarters 176 pennies 1 foriegn coin grand total = 301 ! OK, not really from a 10 minute hunt. Coinnut made me say it! :angelic: These are my finds from my hunts in Wisconsin that I have...

I've been debating whether to even post today's hunt. I didn't get out of class early, so I only had an hour of daylight to continue my hunt. I didn't find anything old, silver or gold I just dug 25-30 memorials with a few dimes mixed in. It's better than finding nothing, so I got no complaints...

Thankfully the weather-liars were wrong! They had forecasted thunderstorms all day, but all it did was drizzle off and on a few times. So, once again I set out to make the most of the day by hunting for treasure! I had been hunting the same small spot ever day so far, so I decided I would try...

I made hunt #6 yesterday, but it was a bummer hunt so I didn't post. Only a few clad coins, no silver, no wheats, no jewelry. I decided I was getting too far away from the hot zone, so I planned on a different spot for today. Today... Woke up to rain. >:\ After an hour I decided, it wasn't...

My last post was about my #3 hunt. Yesterday was hunt #4, but all I found was more clad and 3 or 4 more wheats so I didn't bother to post. Today, hunt #5.... I continued working my way outward from the pool I started on 3 days ago. I have finally gotten away from the circus of pennies, so I am...

OK, after being teased by the park with a single wheatie on my first hunt, I pulled 4 more wheats on hunt #2. I thought I would hit another area of the park. I did some web-search last night and found the original park was MUCH smaller. I found a pic from before 1957 that showed an arial view. I...

Well, I am stuck up here at Ft. McCoy for 2 weeks. I made the 800 mile drive so that I could have my car, and have the chance to go places after class each day. Classes don't start until the morning, so I spent the day over in Sparta. Great little town. If it wasn't for the winters, I might want...

I try every day to make those 10 or more silver finds that some people <cough-angel-cough> seem to make as a routine. Sadly, I usually don't find any. But today, I managed to pull one more silver from the ground!!! I had the foresight to bring the camera along. As soon as I saw that rim, I...

Yesterday, my job took me to another town. So I did a park check and put the detector in the car. After completing my work I fund a very nice park, city block in size. It is old (for oklahoma), and looks to date back to at least the 30's. The bad news from my 1 hour hunt is that the place is...

And the weather SUCKED!! >:\ Tropical storm Nicole started over the Caymans. It actually started raining when we landed on Saturday, and rained off an on for the first 2 days. Then the weather turned bad. The wind and rain didn't really bother me, but it was driving the ocean into 10 foot seas...

Thought I would share this with everyone. I found that one of our members has recently put vid up on youtube. He said to go ahead and post a link to it I wanted. Hope you all enjoy. Midwest Metal Detecting Spring 2010 Trip

Yesterday in the course of one of my jobs, I found a small park in a tiny town about 15 miles from my house. Sooooo I had to go check it out today. I will have to research to see if I can find out how old the park is. There are a row of old trees along the road, but there could have been houses...

I will be at Ft. McCoy in the Toma area for most of October. Anyone close by want to try to meet up for a hunt?

I can't wait, at the end of this month I will be spending a week in Grand Cayman. I will absolutely be taking my Whites SM PI along with my scuba gear. I haven't hit an ocean beach in years and I can't wait!

Just got back from the Casino. It's been cold, rainy and crappy all day today. My wife wanted to go play some slots so I went to play in a poker tourny. I wound up winning 2nd, so I came back with more than I left with. I would love to be able to turn that extra cash into silver, but the spot...

It has been so long since I did any hunting, I'm going crazy. What makes it worse is that today was such a beautiful day for it! Sadly, my second job had me swamped all day, and tomorrow is going to be cold and rainy. crying01 My store find of the 28 silvers has only made me want to go hunting...

Ok, now I know that got your attention! :grin: But it's no joke. I just wish I could have found them with my detector. My wife made me go to the store for something late last night, and I'm glad she did! The man in front of me was trying to pay with silver!!! The cashier didn't want to take...

I can't claim to be the one who discovered this, but it sure is a great idea. This is really an 11 widescan cover for the Tesoro uMax coil. They only come in white, the one pictured was painted with a plastic-fusion black paint. Hunting in stuble fields can be a real PIA. I can't wait to get...
