The Explorer SE got in my good graces again by giving me a faint , tingly chirp on a 7 deep , on edge 61D Rosie . <: Not a...

    Another gold ring

    Went back to where I found the last one on Thursday , stayed with the program and dug all signals . I normally wouldn't have dug this signal because it sounded like a raspy zinc penny .It read 52 screwcap on the M6's screen. Today I was using the 9.5 coil . Not many coins out there anymore as...

    Safe spot today

    Today I went to one of my nearby tired out safe places a place where Gangstas can't drive by . Just a peaceful out of the way park where there is a tennis court , a baseball diamond and a lot of grass for dogwalking , picnicking and the folks there are even nice to metal detectorists (...

    Today's adventure and a little more .

    In the quest to find the elusive silver I've been driving to my old neighborhood and some of it's nearby areas the last few weeks .

    Yerbooty's Booty

    This is about a week's worth of finds from numerous short hunts . No big deal but I want to keep in practice on how to post in case I find something worth posting . lol The two silver Rosies are both 54s , the Merc's date is unreadable but I'll take her . The wheats are 44s,46s and 55? I found...

    Gold?

    Hit a hunted out turf spot for about 3Hrs.(that's the crusty clad on top and including the bullet casing). This particular spot gave me a silver Roosie last week but none today or yesterday . Then after dinner I hit a small wood chips playground and got the very fresh shiny money the sandal...

    Another wood chips find

    I did another one of my dirt /wood chips combo hunts .The best find of the chips was a silver ring . It's stamped 925 and something else that I can't make out .The dirt gave up two wheats a 34' and a 45' and the majority of the $1.44 clad that was gathered . This time I hunted for 3hrs. The ring...

    Relaxing hunt

    After a busy day of Honey do's and gotta do's I had about an Hr. and a half of light left and figured I wasn't going to find anything sitting at home . So I grabbed the M6 and headed to the nearest wood chips .I figured if I found 4 or 5 clads out of there I would be doing good . Well I actually...

    Return to the Garden of Crud

    Well , I went back to the spot I've been pounding and managed to pull out another silver , a 62D Roosie . This time I put the 6x8 SEF coil on the Explorer SE and put in 4 1/2 hrs. of low and slow .The signals were far and few between and most were next to tree roots which made for a real fun...

I...

I ended up with 62' silver Roosie, 2 - 58'Wheats a 63' Canadian penny , $2.50 in clad and a whole lot of junk...
