These are finds from a few recent short hunts, which include two large cents and a 1919 mercury dime I picked up today. The 17:eyebrow: Nova Constellatio I dug up earlier this week is in bad shape, corroded actually. It's still a fun find though. The oldest of the Indian Head cents is dated...

This afternoon I met up with Lee, one of our forum members, to hit a site or two. I had been detecting for about 90 minutes when Lee arrived. During that time I had picked up three coppers and two Indian Head cents. The coppers are in bad shape though I can make out enough details on one of...

These are finds from my three recent hunts. Thursday - Five Silver Coins And A Copper I had some time on Thursday, so I took a drive to a site that had seemed promising. Once there though I soon soured on the site. Apparently most of the small square had been redone when an underground...

Last year I had picked up two 1787 Fugio Cents during an afternoon hunt and put them away until I could get to clean them up a bit. I finally got to them today. Both had thick crusted-on verdigris on the obverse side, making it difficult to clean and remove. The reverse of the coins held up...

I had made plans to meet up with John (midas) Saturday at a new site I had recently added to my list, but Friday night I called him to cancel. We agreed that he should still go, and he did. Then at about 11:30 this morning he calls me from the site to tell me he had picked up two silver coins, a...

This past Sunday John (midas) called me late in the day to meet him at a site he was working at the time. I was reluctant at first seeing as it would be a bit of a drive and there was less than three hours of daylight left. But the desire to swing the coil won me over. Anyway, it was a good...

Yesterday I was able to detect for a while at an old park. From there I picked up three silver coins - a 1849/1848 Seated half dime, a merc and a Roosevelt dime. I also dug up five Indian Head cents, but they are corroded. The Seated half dime is an overdate, 1849/1848. Today...

This past week I was able to detect at some of the local sites later in the day and scored with several old coins. The seven Indian Head cents are in somewhat nice shape. They should clean up well. The large cent isn't in great shape, with corrosion on both sides. In worst shape is the 1816...

We are now testing another banner for displaying member finds. This particular banner is an improvement from the first one we tested a few days ago. [list type=decimal] While this banner is also in the form of a marquee, the images in this banner will be randomized when a page is refreshed or...

I don't even know where to start! Today I had the opportunity to hunt for a longer period, which was great seeing as I was yearning to spend a good amount of time at the old park. The previous four hunts at the park - March 8th, March 9th, March 10th, and March 13th - yielded me a total of 27...

We had rain this morning, so I was beginning to think that being able to get out for an afternoon hunt would have to wait until Saturday. But the rain soon ended and my plan to head to the park was back on track. Today I had a mixed bag of finds, with silver, copper and gold ending in my pouch...

Today I met up with John (midas) to enjoy a day of detecting. The weather was pleasant, the park was quiet, and the finds were sweet. :loveit: John did well with the Indian head cents, picking up about 12. He also dug up two silver coins, a 1851 three cent piece (trime) and a 1853 seated half...

Today I had another opportunity for an afternoon hunt, so I grabbed it. :yes: I had not expected anything like yesterday's hunt, but as it turns out it ended up being another exciting one. :yes: I managed to dig up several more silver coins, seven in total. The Barber and mercury dimes...

I'm not able to get out as often these days, and such will be my lot the remainder of the year, but with what time I do have to detect I have been concentrating on slowly working old parks to try and coax the older coins from the ground. Fortunately today I had some time, and since it was such a...

Snow is coming our way! :crying02: What's a detectorist to do? Grab the detector and start swinging before the snow starts to fall. :cheesysmile: I did just that this afternoon, heading out to a local site for some relaxing coinshooting. :yes: I had a good time out, plus I also dug up a...
