The weather was great today so this afternoon I took the opportunity to detect for a few hours at one of the regular sites. There weren't many targets but I was able to rescue four mercury dimes from the soil's clutches.

Is winter over yet? :cheesysmile: I really can't wait for spring! lol I hunted at a few sites this weekend, two on Saturday and one today. I picked up a several silver coins, two of them old, and about 28 wheat cents and 5 Indian Head cents. Saturday The 1877 seated dime has a CC mint...

I met up with Steve (1147silver) very early this morning to hit two sites he had selected. We spent about two hours detecting at the first site where I picked up several wheat cents, an Indian Head cent, and a mercury dime. After that Steve suggested we head to the second site, but once there we...

This weekend was a tad too cold for my blood, at least for its being this early in the season. :cheesysmile: The strong breeze is what had me begging for the warmth of the bed covers. lol Anyway, I did manage to make some good finds on Saturday, but Sunday turned out to be a non-silver day...

This weekend I was going to check out two parks I had recently been looking into, but today I decided to scout them out after it stopped raining. I worked them for a while, but both parks were surprisingly devoid of targets, hardly any trash and no clad coins. :confused: I did manage a few...

This afternoon I took advantage of the cool and sunny day to detect for a few hours at a Connecticut park. I ended the hunt with four silver coins, all dimes, as well as several wheat cents and a few odds and ends. The dimes are dated 1894, 1919, 1936 and 1952. I had hoped to see a mintmark on...

These are my finds from this weekend. This past Saturday I met up with John (midas) to hit a few sites and Sunday it was a solo hunt. Saturday The large cent had me going for a few minutes when I first hit on it and while probing with the X-1. The Fe number was jumpy, but the Co numbers and...

This afternoon I was able to get in a few hours of detecting time at a Connecticut park and scored with five silver coins, four mercury dimes and a dateless Standing Liberty quarter. I found several wheat cents too, but they are in terrible shape. I took a photo of only the silver. I wish...

Yesterday my plans for a late afternoon hunt were thwarted by rain and strong winds. I was hoping today would be better, and it was, so this afternoon I headed to a Connecticut park for a few hours of coinshooting. I selected an area I had not worked well on prior visits I had made to the park...

What is this world coming to when even a simple word on a ring is misspelled? lol I wonder who of us will be the first to find one. rofl

Today I took a shorter drive than the one I made yesterday, opting to work a somewhat trashy park in the hopes of picking up some silver. I remained there for most of the day, even during a brief late afternoon shower. :crazy: I knew I was at a good spot when I had dug up six silver coins...

Today I took one of those long drives I dread, but the site I wanted to hit was too tempting to pass up. Once there I worked the site as best as I could during the time I had available and managed to dig up four silver dimes, one Draped Bust large cent, a 2-cent piece, four Indian Head cents, a...

This Saturday I met up with Scott (catskillcomics), Aaron (hockeyguy), and their friend John at a NY park. Even though the finds were meager we had a good time detecting on that beautiful day. It was a pleasure to get together with you guys, and it was nice to finally meet you, Aaron...

It's been a busy week so I hadn't planned to detect until this weekend. I just couldn't resist the urge to swing the coil though, so to get it off my system late this afternoon I headed to a local site with my E-Trac. I was determined to come home with at least one silver coin, but the site was...

This weekend was the best I have had this year detecting with the E-Trac as far as silver quantity, a total of 48 silver coins - 19 on Saturday and 29 on Sunday. I worked two very trashy parks to get them. I had to deal with numerous surface targets like aluminum screw caps, but it was well...

This is just unreal. :confused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0p6QVBqAXA#

What a wonderful day it was for detecting! No unbearable heat or humidity to deal with. :smitten: I took advantage and headed back to the Boston park where I dug up 18 silver coins the last time I was there. I picked up from where I had left off the last time, working the trashier areas of...

Back in July I found the following small ring at a town common, which I posted here. It was relatively deep in hard-packed soil. I thought it was brass, though coinnut and Tanacat did comment that it may be gold. It turns out that they may be right. :cheesysmile: John (midas) tested the...

I finally made the 800 silver coin mark, with a 1930 mercury dime :happydance01: I couldn't wait until the weekend to hit the mark, so this afternoon I worked a small common for a few hours and picked up two mercury dimes, dated 1930 and 1938. I also dug up two large cents, dated 1851 and...
