Haven't posted in a while with only 3 hunts in the last 3 weeks and only a silver or two but today I had a permission hunt that I thought the condition of the wheats was worth a photo or two. Overall the hunt was pretty vanilla but I did find 13 wheats and every one after a little wire wheel...

Should be taking advantage of the weather but only got out 4 times in the last 2 weeks. Mostly hunting old spots as I haven't taken the time to do a road trip. Started the hunts off with a hunt at a Park close to work and found 4 war nickels in 2 short hunts. Quite the park for War nickels as...

Headed west the front end of the weekend and north the back end and both directions were good. Friday and Saturday I hit some places I have been to before but tried to work some different areas. Managed to find 3 Mercs, 1 of which was the glossiest Merc I ever pulled from the ground. On the 2...

It has been awhile since I have found some older wheats but I managed nearly a dozen Saturday with 4 in the teens a couple of 20's and a couple of 30's. These should actually clean up good compared to the ones's I have been finding. On the day found a Washington a very nice 1909 Barber dime 2...

Hit the Park I found the 5 silvers at Sunday and found 3 more goodies a a Red Goose Shoe Token. Wisconsin Digger

The heat and humidity has been brutal so I opted for an old go to spot that has lots of trees. Always amazing how much stuff a guy misses. Found a few pockets I missed and ended up with 3 Mercs, 2 war nickels, 2 Buffalos and some really nasty wheats (7 total) and an old silver ring missing the...

Haven't got out in 2 weeks so made a day of it on Sunday. Thought I ended the day with 8 silver but I actually had 9. A whole bunch of Rosies and 2 Merc's. I also found a toasty Indian, 8 toasty wheats and about $4 in change. Wish I could get more hunts in as September has been great. The...

August was a little tough for me as it typically is in August. I found 7 silver and a dozen or so wheats. Ground is dry, spots are hard to find etc. Made plans this weekend to do a lot of hunting but as the expression goes everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face, my trip was...

Lost my WiFi router in a storm and was having a bit of an issue dealing with photos on my old computer. Figured something out so the post is from 4 or 5 hunts I've had in the last couple of weeks. Been fortunate to find a few nice sterling rings as well as a little silver. The weirdest hunt I...

Took a day off work to get ready for my annual Golf outing to practice. figuring practice would not help I decided to go detecting instead. I found an old Silver ring that actually looks like my initials "DL", unfortunately it is a tad small for me. Had a good hunt as I ended up with 2 Mercs...

Only had time to hunt late Saturday and early Sunday morning today but the hunts were quite productive. Saturday someone was shining down on me because the place I hunted I've hit pretty hard before but I was hitting some squeakers where most turned into to silver including a quarter/dime...

Whimped out on a road trip today and stayed closer to home. Was struggling a bit to even find a wheatie when I hit on a couple of Rosies. At that point I figured I found what I was going to find. I planned on hitting a different spot but gave the Rosie area one more try. I picked up a...

Still been an issue finding time to swing but at least the few hunts I've had have been productive. The hunt last Sunday was mostly clad but I found a small spot that produced a Washington, a Roosevelt, a War Nickel and a wheat. Yesterday I went out and my forearm rest broke again on the Etrac...

Went out for several hours on Saturday morning and had a good hunt. Since 2012 when I got back into the hobby War Nickels were a pretty good target over the years. Saturday I hit 99 and 100. Funny thing as I found them back to back along with a 1940 Jefferson. Not a coin spill but in the...

With Holidays and work I have not got out in over a week so made the point of going out before work on Friday and spending most of Saturday in the field. Friday resulted in 3 silver and 4 wheats in a Park I would of been happy to find 1 wheatie. Nice to be surprised going in with low...

Got out today and hit a 100 year old coin spill with my oldest half dollar and a 1906 "V" nickel. the barber Half was a 1893. Also hit what I think was a post '64 drop Rosie as it was in the same hole and depth as a 1992 dime. Weird but glad to find it. Also managed a well wore SLQ on my way...

I was hoping to pick up a silver or 2 before May but I just could not find anything. I was hindered a bit by the grass as it is costing me several inches of depth now. Just before leaving I did get one really nice signal that turned out to be a Boy Scout ring. I've seen a few that some other...

Work has been kicking my butt so I can't get out on any long hunts or travel so I am trying to get in as many short hunts as I can at some closer but well detected places. I did get in one new permission that was great but only a small area to hunt. I also had a good week on silver nickels as...

Some plans changed so I did a little detecting before work. Ended up with my 1st War Nickel of the year, a couple of Mercs and a well used 1912 "V" nickel. Also hit on some older Wheats from the 20's and 30's. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

Spent last week in Missouri and never put the detector to the ground. I had plenty of time to prepare and really dropped the ball. Anyway I was chomping at the bit to do some swinging when I got home so I spent Saturday afternoon hitting the place I found the Large Cent (cleaned up photo...
