I have been heading out in to the woods almost every day the past week. Here are some of the finds over that time. With 4-5" of snow on the ground this morning, the next hunt may not be for awhile. Final hunt of the year got me two IHP's stuck together in the ground at about 9" in the woods. The...

While the fields and most high and open areas are now frozen with 1-2"+ of frost, especially inland, I've still been able to find areas in the woods that are still perfect for digging. Here are the finds from yesterday's hunt. This area continues to not disappoint and produced probably my best...

Can anyone help with age and/or type of bullets? These are from a recent hunt at a site where I am trying so additional research and any info you can provide would be very helpful. This is not a battle site, but a wooded site along a waterway. Thanks!

I found this earlier this week (nickel for size ref). I believed it was a large sash buckle and it is made of quite thick Sterling silver. I was able to get help with an ID on another forum before I am posting it here, but I thought this group would be interested. The site where this was...

Thanks everyone! This half must have been dropped in 1943! Definitely the best half I have ever found. Here are some better pics.

I went back to the woods in the park yesterday where I did so well last weekend. I spent about 2-1/2 hours out there yesterday afternoon and the weather continues to be amazing, it was sunny and 50 degrees!

I went out today, yesterday and Fri to an area in the woods in a local park where they had cleared some invasive species brush back a couple months ago. I’ve been putting off going there as I had been occupied with numerous street projects that were going. Those are all done and the weather has...

I made it out for about 90 minutes at a street project last night before dusk and into the dark and made some great finds, including this solid and sweet 33-34 on the Nox. I pulled out a large grey disc and I knew I had a coin and suspected it was a half. When I got back to the car I could see...

I was in Minnesota this past weekend and spent several hours hunting around the river bank near a city park. I found a lot of modern trash, glass and old iron which didn't make the cut for photo's, but here are the keepers and the other interesting finds. These were silvers 97-101 for the year...

I spent quite a bit of time at two projects this past Monday and Tuesday and came up with some nice finds.

I have spent quite a bit of time in the past couple of weeks scouring over blocks and blocks worth of old road base on two large road projects in old parts of the city. This can be some real tough digging! I didn’t come away with any old silver but did find some other interesting items that...

Here are some finds from the weekend and pictures of where I was at today and found the 1901 Barber Quarter.

As the major park construction project here has nearly come to an end I have been moving on to other sites. There is another park/playfield project that I have been watching since last fall, and they finally started digging this past Monday. So I have been going daily after work each day this...

Here are my finds from last week at a yard regrading project and a street project that continues to produce.

Yesterday, I went back to the tearout where I found the 1853 seated dime and the Barber quarter on July 29th. I had missed some areas that are now buried again, but managed to find a great variety of items. Here are the coins and other smaller items. Not pictured is the iron, trash and lots of...

Here is a summary of my finds from this week from a street tearout and two different park construction projects. Friday was a good hunt to cap off the week at a lot near a lake where a cabin was recently demolished. The construction site in a park is where I found the 1902 V Nickel.

I have been spending nearly a month hunting constantly at the park construction project here in town. I decided for a change of pace this afternoon and drove to a nearby town where there is a larger road project going on since March. I have not been there in nearly a month so I wasn't sure what...

I was heading home from a street tearout hunt after work out of town. I had a little bit of daylight left yet, so I decided to stop back at the park project tonight and continue with my gridding the area where there was once a ballfield. I was glad I did, five minutes in I dug the war nickel...

Hello All! Well, it's been a good run on this re-grading project. The work is done, but there will still be about 5-7 days yet of hunting and everyone is taking advantage of it, but the finds are getting fewer as now more than a dozen guys have been pounding this project daily. Here are...

Five hours at this project today and thought I would show all the coins, even the zincs. One Barber dime, 2 IH’s, 26 Wheats, and 3 Buffalo Nickels.
