The last several days I have been having issues posting replies. I can post some but then I get a server not available error message. Since no one else has posted a similar issue I will assume it must be on my end. Any thoughts on browser settings I may have to change? This has not happened...

I went back to that old park where I have been having some really good luck. I wanted to try Randy's advice about gridding it. It started off pretty good and hard to believe but I hadn't detected for more than a minute before I found my first target and it was a mercury dime. I figured that it...

I didn't have much time today and could only manage to get about 90 minutes to hunt so I decided to hit the old park that gave me my last two mercs. I can't believe my luck and found two more today. Only bad part is that I scratch one of them with the digger. :cheering: Thanks for looking and...

Wednesday I tried a new site and just got a bunch of clad. Unlike my son, I don't have much luck in sports fields. Today started out not so well as I either couldn't find my first site or it was developed. I had errands to do and didn't have much time afterwards so I went to 'my woods' in the...

Many areas are still covered in snow so I went to my old park where I previously found the Claddagh ring. That park has a lot of sunlight and sure enough, there was a lot of open areas. I found 1 token (?), 11 quarters, 16 dimes - including 2 mercs, 24 pennies - including 3 wheats. The old park...

I was doing a quick hunt at the site where I've found a couple of silver rings and the seated liberty dime when I started talking to another detector who uses a White detector. He found a nice old gold ring in an area where I have detected several times >:{ so I either didn't hit that exact...

I hope that I'm not boring too many people with the clad posts but hopefully I'll get better stuff in the future. Last night we got our first snow which left about 1.5 inches on grassy surfaces. I really wanted to get back to that small park that yielded all those quarters on my last hunt so I...

Tuesday I decided to try a couple of new sites. The first was an old, large and very well kept common. The town holds a lot of events on this common so judging from what I found in 3.5 hours, I would guess that this place is very well hunted. Very little trash targets and nice hunting...

Went to visit my son (z118) to see the family and to get in some hunting time together. True to his word, all the sites he took me to had the potential for silver but he failed to mention that he would be the one finding it :thinkingabout: The first day we were pretty even in finds, even...

I can't sit still when the weather is nice and I didn't have a lot of time so I went out to the nearby woods for a 90 minute hunt yesterday evening. These are the same woods where I found the large cent earlier this year. Now that fall is here, the underbrush is dying back so it's a bit easier...

With visions of all the beautiful silver being posted lately, I pounded a whole variety of different sites this past week. Parks, woods, playgrounds (all new to me) and the results were amazingly rotten (very little clad, no worthy relics, nothing at all of any interest). Worst than normal even...

I've been busy reloading software on a new computer (the old one died) but managed to get out on Saturday. I debated posting as it isn't all that great but in addition to the clad (10 quarters, 28 dimes, 50 pennies [one wheat]) which I'm not posting, I found a nifty little ring. No markings...

Since my last post my hunts have yielded nothing but clad which wasn't worthy of posting. I did get out today to an old woods park that has been well hunted but is large enough so there is always a chance of finding something. The clad (notice the dates on the quarters. missed silver by one...

Got out today for another hunt which turned out ok (not as good as yesterday). I did find my first S.B Anthony dollar, 8 quarters, 18 dimes, 25 pennies and another ring. It's marked 'sterling' inside and is pretty light.

We have been stuck in a pattern of rain for quite a few days and I have tried to get out between showers. Unfortunately I have had four or five really awful hunts with nothing but mosquito bites and a lot of crap to show for it. Today (Sunday) was humid but rain free so I started out by going to...

I was away most of last week and just got back Sunday so I did a hunt today in some local woods. Found 12 pennies (all crap), the mandatory beat up hotwheel, a key and this ring which made the hunt somewhat of a success. It looks very similar to another just posted.

I decided to try a school yard for a change and got there Sunday morning at the crack of dawn (ok .. maybe a bit beyond the crack) and managed to detect for only about 45 minutes before folks started to show up for kids baseball practice. I managed to find a couple of clad dimes and a disney...

After suffering through a week of rain, I finally got out today. I found a bunch of pennies, five of which were wheat which is a high for me in a single hunt. Also found three presidential tokens all in the same hole which was something different for me. They don't look all that old and I...

I recently detected in a 'park' (I use the term loosely since it was very much neglected) and every time I would get a good signal, I'd dig a hole, check to see if the target was still in the hole and then put the pinpointer in to see if it was close. The problem was that when I put the...

This may have been discussed before but I don't know what key words to use in the search. I was wondering about the number of people who keep their findings (relics, coins and jewelry) versus those that sell and for what percentage of the total of their findings. Also, regarding clad, do you...
