Met up with Steve and Mike again at the golf course. I personally have never had a hunt like this....I.m speechless, that's why I am typing. :lol: Yesterday I went to the course for about 2 hours. Got a 41s merc and a nice flat button. Today I managed 10 silvers and they will include rosies...

Met up with Mike (MIKE54) and Steve (Sillver_Stallion) at the golf course this am. Everybody got something with Steve cleaning up in the silvers and Mike getting the oldest. We still have not ventured to far out, remaining on basically 2 holes. And I know there is still more to be had on these...

Met up with RobW and Mike54 at the golf course this am. Now I am convinced that this area has some age to it. As far as coins go.....1954 Rosie, 1956D wheat, and either a KGI or KGII. I was the lucky one who got his coil over it 1st. Also managed a musket ball, 4 more buckles, another item I...

Drew (oxshoedrew) and Mike (Mike54) met me at my house this morning. After we all said our hello's it was off to the golf course. I have to say of the three of us Drew out hunted everyone. I'll let his post do the talking. As for myself, some coins and a lot of buckles (6) and some misc items...

A family member recently purchased a 18 hole golf course which will be destroyed and houses put up. Of course I have the rights to detect. I am extending an invitation to all forum members who might want to hunt this with me. Please PM me. I usually have tues, wed,thur off. I believe that the...

Got out for about an hour and a half today and yes I went to my favorite field. First repeatable signal was the flat button. Pretty toasty and I am pretty sure it at one time had a back mark as I can see some lettering. The KG II is a 1740 and I believe that this is copper is #30 out of this...

After checking Ebay and Amazon and finding none of these had the above mentioned book for sale I emailed Bill directly and was informed that the book was a sell out (1200 copies). However, he was going to a store in his area that had 2 left that did not sell. I immediately sent him money via...

Anybody got a link to episode 6??????

Okay, now I have had this pin for years and I have not been able to determine what organization is associated with it. What I think is interesting is the skull and crossbones. The back is marked HARRINGTON KIRKSVILLE MO 10K Any help greatly appreciated Thanks

Rob came over this AM and we decided to hit some parks in Springfield that we have had success at before. Not to good this time around. Rob ended up with 3 wheats and a general service button. I managed 2 wheats and 1 IH. Got over $6.00 in clad, including 21 quarters. Rob didn't manage to get a...

I and Joan wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We will be having a turkey dinner at Joan's brothers house along with about 25 friends and relatives. Hopefully everyone will be having a similar celebration. Looking forward to seeing all the finds from this long weekend.......:thumbsup02:

Today I went back to the farm field to try get #30 copper out of the ground. No luck today. I did manage 3 flat buttons one of which has a nice silver wash on it. Also a musket ball. The whatsit I have no idea.....anybody? Thanks for reading and HH everyone.

Got out on Tuesday but it was so hot I didn't stay very long and my keeper pouch showed it...empty. Today the weather was much nicer and I stayed about 3 hours. First off was the complete spoon which has some nice fancy on the handle. Next up was the 1820 LC. Checking the date in the RED book...

I stopped at a tag sale this morning on my way to work, didn't buy anything but got permission to detect this coming Wed. Hope the finds are "GREAT".

Got out this morning to my favorite field. Some corn has been cut and the field plowed. No coppers but a very nice cuff sportsman button. Has a man riding a horse and reverse has 6 stars around the shank. Guessing around 1820 - 1850's. Was pretty hot today, sweated real good so I only lasted 2...

Finally got to detect with Rob. We made it a pretty full day but it wasn't to fulfilling...:lol:. Started off at a small town library, which is where we each got some silver. No coins but I got a nice religious medal and Rob got a small silver ring. Dug some oddities there also. We next hit a...

This is a compilation of two hunts. The flat button, shankless but I do believe that it had a design on it as I can see a partial design. What see you? The buff is dateless, both of these items did come from the farm that has given me some nice coppers. The buff is also the 1st nickle to come...

Finally got out for a short (very short) hunt to a local park. Things were going good,then the soccer boys showed up. Managed to get 2 merc's, a 1927 and a 1943. Also got a 1958 wheat and what I think is a 1943 toasted wheat????? Sorry about the quality of the pics....feeling like RobW right...

I had found this coin last year at the best field ever. Rang up as a 55 on the V3i and the last two digits of the date I see 87. Dan responded in another post of mine that all 1787 coppers are suspect. Please look in the date field and let me know if you see a 87. Thanks Al
