    British Deja Vu

    Put together a special short video today (link below) What are the odds of finding the same design British coin here in the US 2 years in a row both with a hole drilled through the top and used as a jewelry piece? :shocked01: Anyhow, HAPPY to have it! :grin...

    A Bit of silver & Wheaties

    Figured I'd post more while some of you are still snowed in! :) Today I got out back where I found my gold coin. The park is hammered. But thankfully most of the hunters that hit the place left a few deep and masked coin targets around the edges of the park where It's really trashy. And they...

    Gold Ring with Inlaid 90% Gold Mexican Coin!

    There's just no way to put it in words. I can't believe I found it! It wasn't even found at the destination that I set out to hunt today. Just a backup spot. Ring is not stamped but I'm guessing It's 10k or 14k because of the lighter color. Below is a link to the YT video and some pictures...

    My finds of 2013

    Full 46 minute video of all my finds is uploaded to my YT channel. =) Living in Tennessee this year was challenging, because I had to stick to mediocre public properly not having many leads for private permissions (or knowing the area well) But I still made the best of it and had a great time...

    My Largest Clad Haul Ever. Kennedy half, wheaties and 925 ring.

    After doing a lot of research I drove about a half hour today to a town I've never been to before. My first stop was a TINY off the map park tucked away in the corner of a small neighborhood. It was on my radar to check out, because on the streets by it there are old homes mixed with the new...

    Short Middle School Hunt in the Cold. HUGE Ring. =o

    Went out for about 2 hours this morning in the cold. Nothing old (school dates back to mid 50's) but I picked up $5.50 in clad and this HONKER of a ring. :shocked04: It's marked "China" and "925" and has a couple other marking too. It's 15 grams! My largest ring so far. :grin: Oh, and the stone...

    My first shield nickel + 3 silver hunt today! =)

    Hey everyone! Been a little while since I've commented or posted. It's great looking through all the finds everyone is making this fall! I didn't detect for 2 weeks in early November and had a lot to do in October since I moved almost 2 hours away from where I used to be. I've been struggling...

    BIG Silver South of the Border!

    That is to say, the silver is from south of the border. rofl I hunted an old park for the first time today (for about 3 hours) that is right up against a BIG, old cemetery. Part of where I hunted you could actually tell they exhumed bodies from. There were grave sink holes all over the top of...

    Fresh hunting grounds giving up the jewelry!

    Been a long time since my last post or topic! Haven't done much quality hunting over the last month. I just moved almost 2 hours away from where I lived since Feb. this year, so I have a lot of fresh, public hunting grounds to check out! :grin: Started the day with a 20 minute drive outside the...

    July 14th Hunt - War Nickel, Silver Ring & Sacagawea Dollar

    Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been posting much. Been doing about 1 hunt per week right now. It's been really hot here in southern TN, I'm lacking hunting spots right now and I've been busy with work. But here's my latest hunt that did yield a few goodies. Now I gotta check out what ya'll been...

    Hunting With a Fellow American Detectorist Member! =D

    Today me and Chuck (Atokad) met in his neck of the woods to do our first hunt together. (Which was my first non-solo hunt since I've started detecting!) I'm sure I can speak for both of us that we had a great time. :grin: A lot of the spots we hunted ended up being so-so. So, we hunted so many...

    Rare off center penny, silver & more - Some of my finds over the last week

    Hey guys! :waving: I went on some very successful hunts over the last week. First off, last saturday, (pic #1) I went back to the park where I dug my 2 barber quarters this year. I intentionally went after it rained because the coins are incredibly deep there around the main ball field area...

    Deja Vu Hunt - Barber Quarter, War Nickel, Silver Rosie & Twine Pouch Mystery!

    It was a beautiful, mild 70 degree day, so even though I wasn't planning on detecting I headed back to the park that has treated me well over the last month. So after digging a clad dime I had an audience of kids around me, thankfully this time they were more behaved kids, so I didn't mind, so...

    My first real gold! + silver and old aluminum token spill

    Decided to go out today to a spot I've hit many times to dig just about any signal I could find (because they are starting to get far and few between) The spot is fairly clean in the open areas and has already given up around a dozen silver coins (modern silver) and a couple rings over many...

    Some live dig silvers back at the barber quarter/half crown site.

    Hey guys! :) Didn't put my last few hunts up, haven't found anything amazing, just a few common, newer silvers, wheats and the normal clad. Got out for a few hours today at a spot that has been really good to me. Almost all the old coins here by the ball field have been incredibly deep, I have...

    1929 SLQ & Wheaties

    Howdy everyone! :grin: Took a few days off from detecting. Today I went back to the spot where I dug my 1899 barber quarter, silver half crown & big Native American style silver ring. After only about 20 minutes I got a deep silver signal but it was cutting out a little so I thought it might...
