Took my youngest boy dirt fishing last weekend. I managed a very nice 1886 "fishscale" 5 cent silver from O Canada. My boy caught a couple wheats and a nice Canadian LC from 1913. Thanks for looking!

I have not been able to do all that much detecting this month due to various things. But I knew that yesterday was going to be a nice day in my neck of the woods so I decided to take the day off work and detect all day long. I visited "Morgan Park" where I and my friend each found a Morgan...

Here are a couple pics of my finds over the last few weeks. My favorite is the 1901 indian that has AU details in my opinion. I still need to tooth pic some of the crevices more. Thanks for looking!

My first stop this weekend was at a 1870's park that has been good to me over the years. I pulled a flat button, slick Buff and a 1937 Buff, and 2 Indians. One is a 1905 and the other is a very crusty 1864. In order to get the date I had to use 120 grit sandpaper, that's how crusty it was...

Today I hit a nearby park that I have found lots of great coins in over the last few years. There are not many high tones left so I often focus on the nickel tones. I came across a perfect nickel signal (12-13) about 5 inches deep so I was optimistic that this one was not going to be a pull...

Being able to detect in January here in Michigan is a bonus! I hit one of my favorite places on Saturday and managed to dig through the frozen ground and found 4 silvers! Some parts of the park were too frozen while others portions of the park the ground was barely frozen at all. I found lots...

I had a great 2016 detecting! Here are my best coins. My totals were Clad: $168.01 Indians: 32 Wheaties: 648 Silver: 111 Silver Jewelry: 20 Gold Jewelry: 2 And here are a few of my best relics Hoping that 2017 will be just as great! Thanks for looking. Jared

The ground here in SE Michigan is still not frozen but that might change tomorrow. Managed a couple sterling rings so far in 2017. I'll take them!!! Stay warm! Jared

I have had so many memorable hunts this year and yesterday I had another one! I decided to visit the place where my friend and I found the Morgan and the Seated Quarter at about 7 weeks ago. We have had about 10 inches of snow on the ground the last few weeks but over the last few days and...

Here are a few pics of my finds over the last couple weeks. Now that the snow and cold has arrived I am thinking this might be it for the year but it has been an awesome year for me! I have found a silver coin every month in 2016 which I might not ever do again living in Michigan. The...

I had a great hunt this past Friday and found 3 silver mercs (1917, 1940 and 1942) at a spot I have hammered with a friend about 4-5 years ago. Also found a 1907 V Nik, 1926 Buff, 1888 Indian and a sweet token! The token states "Billiard Parlor" on one side and "Good for 5cents at the Bar" on...

Back in June I found a spot where I pulled a Seated HalfDime, Seated Dime and a Morgan Dollar from. A hunt I will NOT soon forget. I decided not to go back to the spot and hunt it hard until I could bring my old hunting buddy who rarely is able to get out to detect any more due to his new...

All of these came from a nearby park that I (and many others) have hunted hard over the past 5 years now. I like finding the trashy areas and going super slow and dig all of the peeps and squeaks that sneak out from the trash. The 1916 merc has an S mint mark. Always fun to find one a...

Here are my good finds from the last couple weeks. A few mercs, a war nik, a buff, indian and a sterling cuff link. The silver cuff link is a bucket lister for me. Managed 3 more marbles! I now have 14 for the year! So a great couple weeks. Below is a pic of a penny I found INSIDE of...

I have been trying to get out more recently but its been tough even though the ground conditions are really nice right now. These finds are from the last 3 weeks or so of detecting. The pic of the 4 dimes with the broken skeleton key came from a new baseball field site that I think I can find...

Last week I hit a couple old parks after work and found a 3 silvers including my first Canadian Caribou Quarter from 1946. Also found a very nice 1887 V nickel. Then on Labor day I travelled to a spot I have not hit for a few months. I found 2 more V nickels (1907 and 1912) and a penny...

Wow I have not posted in over a month! The ground here in SE Michigan has been bone dry until about 2 weeks ago. First couple pics are from early August at various parks and public spots where I managed a bit of silver and some relics including a luggage tag perhaps, locket and a Hotel tag...

Last Saturday I took all 4 of my kids to an old town to give my wife a break. We spent the majority of time at an old park so that the boys could detect and fish and my girls could pick wild black raspberries. We did not catch any fish but we did well dirt fishing! I found the merc and the...

I went out Saturday morning to a park I have not been to in a couple months. It was a perfect morning...a few clouds, nice temps and most importantly no one at the park! Ended up with a great variety of finds. My first clay marble (which is marble #10 for the year! Crazy!), 3 silvers...

Here are my recent finds. I revisited the house I got all of those Barbers and just found a lonely Rosie. Rest of the finds came from various old parks. Included with those silvers were a few tokens...Winchester Junior Rifle Corps badge, A Detroit pin, and a Token that says "Children...
