We were able to get out both days. The weather was great and the pickings were good. Sat I managed 3 wheats and the 1918 merc and a 1948 rosie. Sunday we hit several areas and I got my 1st Budgie Model car. Of course we went back to our favorite park and I got the 1912 Barber and 6 more wheats...

I picked up Rob this am and off we went to this house that he had gotten permission to do. So on the way there I was questioning him that it was okay to go so early. So I pulled into the driveway and I asked if the house was vacant. Then he decides to tell me that he just bought it. Great, we...

This morning I got a call from Rob stating that he would not be going out today. Doing a google earth search I located a park in a couple of towns away so I decided to go there. Very overgrown, woodsie but i did get a wheat for what little time I spent there. A local was walking his dog and we...

Got out this AM for a 3 hour hunt. I went to the park that Rob and I have been going to. I told myself that I was only going to hunt on the hill. After about 2 hours I had some clad and 1 merc. happydance02 Alright enough of the hill, down to the flats. First signal was a merc :happydance01...

I receivedd an email from the restorer, Leonard Short. He informed me that the eagle hat plate was complete and he emailed me some pictures. These new photos were taken in natural sunlight. The end result is fantastic, I am thrilled with the outcome and glad that I decided to have it restored. I...

Sunday I was feeling a lot better, the leg pain was subsiding. So Rob and I hit our favorite park. When we first started hunting there, about a month ago, literally silver was on top of the ground. Now we really have to hunt for it. We have gotten between the two of us, LC's, IH's, wheats...

The morning started off with some rain but it cleared up by about 10am. I had secured us permission to hunt a farm that I was told dated to 1862. Between Rob and I the total was 1 wheat (mine). Very, very trashy site. We decided to head over to a park that we frequent. Started off with a couple...

Rob and I have found a new spot. Rob had an exceptional day in the old coin department. I managed one little fishscale, a 1884. First time I dug one of these, boy are they thin and tiny. Along with the 1875 the 1884 is the key date with a mintage of only 200,000 This new spot should keep us...

Just noticed that I was awarded the Relic of the Month. I want to thank everybody who voted, its something that I thought would never happen to this detectorist.

This Saturday I took the belt plate to a appraiser and he took some photos and with his software we were able to come up with a name. It was amazing what his computer could do with the photos. This is what we think it is: co M Macdonald which is so far off from what I thought the name was...

Rob and I talked this AM and he said that he would be available to go out this afternoon. Soooo... I decided to hit a house down the street from me. Homeowner said the house was from 1880 so I was expecting some Seated, Barbers...I was greatly disappointed. Its a small yard but I did get a 1943...

Now to some of you out there this is no big deal. But seeing that I am hunting in Angel's backyard, it's huge to me. Wanted the 50th to be a special silver so I went to a site that I have gotten Barber and seated from. Its a small area around some senior housing and was going real slow.Got a VDI...

I went out today with the intention on getting my 50th silver. I decided to go out of town to a house that Rob and I had hit before. This house is from the 1700's and the homeowners have it up for sale. I DID NOT get my 50th silver but I got 4 more wheats and something very interesting. It is...

Rob and I decided to hit another park today. We didn't stay long as the locals were up and about. I gota nice little coin spill, 4 wheats and 2 mercs. The mercs are 1920 and 1927, #'s 48 and 49. We then went to another park and we just weren't feeling it so we started to hit some median strips...

I had to work 1/2 day today. Rob only had the morning off so he decided to work on his patio. I went back to a house that I had hit years ago with my Prism IV. Managed to recover 11 wheat backs with the earlies being 1910. The IH is a 1909, minus the S. Besides the green on the IH it looks to be...

Tried to get some silver coins but managed to get a sterling ring. Marked 925 China, the stones look good. This came out of a park that I have hit alot. Sort of surprised to find this, so I guess nothing is ever hunted out. Thanks for reading

Got out for about an hour and 1/2. Went back to the 1700's house. This item was down abut 8 and I am really hoping that it is military. Looks to be made out of brass. It's a little over 5 1/2 long. To bad the head is missing, anybody got a spare eagle head? Any info would be appreciated, thanks...

Sunday Rob and I hit the old park again. Rob found out that the guy we got the lead from had been digging coppers, reales, colonial buttons, etc. out of this park. I managed to find part of a cufflink (this is where the pretty sure part comes in) but I was wondering if anybody could date this...

Monday night when I got home I was debating wether or not to go out. Detecting won out. I went to a little grassy area behind theTown Hall and managed to get a 1896 IH and a 1940 wheaty. Awhile ago I was complaining about being in a IH drought, not anymore. Last year I complained about not...

I was really trying to get my silver count to 50, but alas I failed. Got a 45 merc which puts me at #47. I also got me a 1st, a silver cufflink. Also added 9 more wheats to the total with the earliest being 1930. In the last two weeks I have found two of the religious medallions which are the...
