I just couldn't wait for the weekend to try and pick up a few more silver coins before the year ends, so I took the afternoon to detect at the same park I had been hitting recently. The park has a very trashy section, so I worked that area first in the hopes of picking up a modern silver coin or...

This afternoon I had an opportunity to detect for a few hours, so I headed to the same site that yielded the Barber coins this past Saturday. This time I decided to employ a grid, and it paid off as I picked up another four silver coins, a 1843 Seated dime and three mercs, dated 1918, 1923, and...

Today I worked the same site as yesterday, and though this time the finds were a bit sparser, they still made for a fun hunt. :peace: Along with the 1946 Roosevelt and 1939 mercury dimes came a 1945-P wartime nickel. :twirlingeyes: Fun, fun, fun! :cheesysmile: HH!

I had planned on an early trip to the site I worked yesterday but I had a late start. It worked out well anyway. The site was quiet and peaceful, allowing me moments of thoughts, which were only interrupted by the sweet sound of deep silver. I don't mind those kinds of interruptions. ;) I...

After several very cold days this week the chilly wind finally subsided enough to allow for a few hours of detecting. The ground at the site I hit this afternoon was hard to dig into, but not impossible. I had to use my small shovel though, since digging with the trowel was a royal pain...

I had hoped to go detecting today but it is raining. >:\ Well, at least the ground may start to thaw out. :thinkingabout: Anyway, I did get out for a couple of hours on Friday and picked up two silver dimes. Saturday was a good day too, as I managed to dig up six silver coins. The mercury...

I didn't drive far today to go detecting, opting to do so locally as I expected to be out for just a few hours. Instead of hitting a park I detected the water's edge of a pond. It was hard digging there as the sandy ground was somewhat frozen. I had to push hard on the shovel while sawing the...

Spring better get here real soon. :interesting: It was cold at the park today. :frozen: It wasn't bad at first, but then the cold wind picked up and it was all over. lol I cried uncle after three hours and two silver dimes. I did hit another site on my way home and detected for another...

This afternoon I detected for a few hours in the hopes of scoring with several more silver coins. I didn't do as well as yesterday's hunt, but the two that I did pick up do inch me closer to the desired goal. The 1936 Washington quarter is in excellent shape, having no discernible wear on it. I...

Winter's approach will soon make it much too difficult to hit the parks, but I try to grab whatever opportunity there is during this time to sneak out and swing the coil. Today was one of those days, so this afternoon I headed to a Connecticut park eager to cut a few plugs and hopefully have a...

I detected late this afternoon for a little over two hours and scored with two more mercury dimes. I still had about 30 minutes to detect before darkness settled in when my alkaline batteries ran out on me. :eyebrow: I quickly walked back to the car and then noticed that I had forgotten to...

I detected for a few hours at a local park yesterday. I did the same this afternoon but at another local park. Both parks yielded a few silver coins, as well as several old wheat cents and a silver ring. These are from Sunday's hunt. The park I hit this afternoon yielded two standing Liberty...

Man it was cold today! This afternoon the wind began to pick up too, making it even colder. I lasted only four hours at the park. It's time to start wearing some thermals. lol Anyway, George (coinnut) kindly loaned me his Sunray X-5 coil as I wanted to give it a try at a trashy park I had...
