This morning I met up with midas to shallow water detect at a lake. The day was sunny and warm so it made for a pleasant time out there. I picked up one gold ring, two sterling silver rings, a few religious pendants, and eight silver coins. I missed making the 800 mark by one silver coin. :duh...

I had been thinking about taking a drive to New York to check out some parks out that way, but then I changed my mind and decided to head to Boston instead. This was my first time hitting any of the parks out there. I was curious to see what I would be able to dig up from them. I arrived at a...

Today I was waiting to pick up my vehicle from the dealer, so rather than hang around I headed to a park not far from the dealership. Better to go detecting than sit in a stuffy show room watching TV and eating donuts. :cheesysmile: While at the park I picked up two silver quarters, a 1942...

We will soon be making preparations to move to another forum software platform, though at this point exactly when that will be has not been decided. There will be a period of testing before migrating to the new platform, but once that has been completed an announcement will be posted with a set...

This year I had been planning to make a three day detecting trip to either Ohio, New York, or even here in Massachusetts. The year would soon be over, so this past Thursday I finally took the plunge and made the necessary arrangements, electing to detect at a few locations in Massachusetts. Even...

This morning I had planned to meet up with midas to detect at a local lake, but other things came up, so I had to cancel. Once I took care of things I headed to a local site in the afternoon to do some dirt digging. Except for local traffic, the place was quiet. It made for an enjoyable time...

Today I took a drive to Central MA to detect at an old site. I arrived at the location just before 12:00 pm, and detected a relatively small area for about 2 1/2 hours. I left because the site was becoming much too active and noisy. :shocked01: I did find three silver coins though, a Barber...

Today I joined midas to do some shallow water detecting at another old swimming hole. The lake water is starting to chill, but our wetsuits kept us toasty warm. We picked up many targets, but only a few were of the good kind. I managed four silver coins; a dateless Standing Liberty quarter, two...

After visiting with family late in the day I headed to a local park to detect for a couple of hours. I didn't do bad for a short hunt, picking up three silver dimes and an old railroad padlock. These made the short stop at the park worth it. I like this old padlock. HH!

Yesterday's hunt had me itching to go detecting again, so late in the day I headed to the same site to see if I could coax a few more old coins from the ground. I didn't find as many silver coins as I did yesterday, but I made up by digging up a nice 1855-O seated half dime and a 1867 Indian...

It was heading into the late afternoon and I needed to get some things off my mind, so I took a long drive to an old site to detect for a while. That always helps me relax. I detected until the late evening working the site for about 4 1/2 hours, and walked away from there with eight silver...

We are finally getting some cooler weather for a change. It makes dirt digging a much more pleasant experience. :cheesysmile: This afternoon I worked one site for several hours and walked away with another five silver coins - two seated dimes, dated 1876-S and 1877, a Barber dime dated 1900...

Today was a shallow water detecting day. I had hoped to pick up a few silver coins, but the lake was being stingy. I did find a very nice United States Air Force sterling silver ring though. It is missing the stone unfortunately. I also picked up two religious pendants and a men's 14kt gold...

It sure was a beautiful day, semi-cloudy with a slight breeze and hardly any humidity. Not like this past Thursday, when I baked in the sun while detecting at a park. :shocked02: I took advantage of course, and enjoyed the afternoon detecting at a MA town common hoping to score with a few old...

Today was brutally hot, with the temperature in the mid 90's. Not the ideal day for detecting at a park, but that's exactly what coinnut and I decided to do. We need help. :rofl: The finds were sparse, mostly clad coins and trash, but I did manage to squeak in three silver coins...

This afternoon I headed to the same park I hit yesterday, this time working a different section. I managed another five silver coins, with a Walking Liberty half in the bunch. :happydance01: It was coming in at about 9 inches, not surprising for that part of the park where additional dirt has...

It has been fun to shallow water detect at the lakes during the past few weeks, but I have missed doing some dirt digging as well, so late this afternoon I grabbed my E-Trac and headed to a local town common. I detected for almost four hours and walked away from the site with five silver dimes...

Today midas and I spent the day detecting at two lakes, but the finds weren't as lucrative as we had hoped. We had been dreaming BIG! :lol: We did manage some good finds though. :thumbsup01: These were my keeper coins of the day, a 1944 Walking Liberty half, 1939 and 1964 Washington quarters...

The recent rain and strong winds have kept me from wanting to play in the water, but I did manage two short hunts anyway. Though silver coins were few I was still able to reach the 700 silver coins mark. The following are the finds from the last two short lake hunts. This weekend I hope to...

I spent this morning working the shallow water at an old swimming hole trying my best to find the 17 silver coins I needed to make the 700 mark, but I fell short by four. Now I am hoping to make up for the shortfall during tomorrow morning's hunt - if the weather holds up that is. :yes: This...
