I have been getting out but had not gotten anything really worth posting about. Today I went to my favorite field, the one that gives me all the coppers. Spent about 4 hours today and will be going back Thursday. The highlight of the day is the 1788 MASS copper. I think its in pretty good...

Went out yesterday for less than 1 hour as the weather was so oppressive. Managed a 1944 wheat and a 1907-O barber dime. Our weather is going to break this weekend....to bad I have to work. Thanks for reading and HH everyone.

Well it finally happened. Went back to the golf course today and the 1st dig was a wheat. There are construction trucks all over and the foreman asked that I not be there when his guys are working. Not a problem....can I detect back to my car? Sure.... By the time I got back to my car I had my...

Sunday RobW and myself finally got to hunt together. Years ago they had closed a local park and just last week I noticed that the fencing around it was gone. So that is where we went. Not there more than 10 minutes and I see Rob talking to someone. Seems this guy, and other detectorists have hit...

So I tried to get my 1000th wheat and I failed. But some other nice goodies ended up in my pouch instead. I tried the door knocking thing yesterday and that didn't go very well. First house "NO", second house - no one home, third house, gotta talk to my dad. So as I was driving around I passed...

Seeing that the golf course is so overgrown I hit two parks this week. Years ago I had gotten a General Grant paperweight and a MASS chauffeurs license in this one park so I went back there. In the same area I got the Washington. Went to a different section of this park and managed one lonely...

Here's mine....

Got this the other day. Made of brass. I put a wheat in for size reference. I have looked at this thing from all angles and I have not one clue as to what it was used for. All ideas appreciated.

At least until the roads start to be put in. Met up with Mike yesterday and we decided to try the holes that we have not hit. Not to much was found the farther we got away from the club house. I was able to get out Tuesday also so this will be the two day total. Got 10 wheat's, earliest being...

We were real slow at work today so my boss let me go early. Came home, charged up the battery and off I went to the golf course. I believe that this is the 3rd Draped Bust out of there and this is the only one with a date....1801. Came out of my 3rd hole and it did not give a copper VDI???? A...

Yesterday I met up with Steve and got some nice items. I believe a 1819 copper. Two mercs, 41s and 36, and 2 wheat's. Also a broken crotal bell :girlcry: a brass ball that is threaded and a reins guide. Of course what would be a hunt at the golf course without at least one buckle. Today met...

I would like to keep a running total of the finds at the course. I know what mine are but I am going to need the other course hunters to post theirs if they want to. It would be nice to keep this going so as we hunt there more, totals can be modified here. My take: Wheat's - 68 Merc - 25...

So I met up with Steve at the course this AM. I am quite impressed the Equinox 800 that Steve has. Just might have to get me one of these. Drew, you should have a conversation with Steve about his settings..... I'll let his post speak for its self. My finds were 3 wheat's, 21,36,42. A 1837...

So I texted Mike and Steve about hunting today and both declined. So I went solo. Hit the 10th fairway and got a 1943 Wash and a 1943 merc. Crossed the street as I had some silvers in the keeper pouch but I wanted some wheat's. If you notice I am closing in fast on my 1000th wheat. Managed to...

Met up Mike and Steve again. This post will be a combination of Tuesday and Wednesday. Got some nice relics - 2 ox knobs, crotal bell, doorknob, axe head, of course more buckles. Managed 3 more silvers - 2 rosies, 58D and 57. Also a 44P war nickle. Total of 9 wheat's, 21,28,34,42...

So lets everybody try to guess where I hunted today.:) This post is a combo of yesterday and today. Yesterday got another 1846 copper, not nearly as nice as the last one. Also 6 wheat's and a 1937 merc. If anybody has any idea of what the lead figurine is please let me know. I am thinking...

Here's some more pics

Met up with Mike and Steve this morning at the golf course. Drew tried to make it but he wasn't feeling well. I am sure he will be attending a hunt with us shortly. Got a first for me today....Capped Bust 1/2 dime....1830. It has full liberty but also a nick at about 6:30. Tickled pink with...

Got out with Mike for about a 4 1/2 hour hunt until the rain ran us off. Managed 5 more silvers unfortunately nothing old. They are 3 mercs, 17s, 27, 44 and 2 rosies, 46 and 50. Got some odds and ends and the largest spark plug I have ever seen. Mike was really excited about his 1/2 real as...

Hit the golf course this am for about 2 hours and once again I am not disappointed. The first coin was the 1846 LC in excellent shape. Got a 1950 Rosie and a 1956d wheat. The buckle is what I think a bat wing style. Waiting for confirmation from the forum pool of knowledge. Put a cent in the...
