Thanks Tim, I'm working on it.

I met up with some friends this morning to hunt a Chicago park. When we got there the wind chill was 9 degrees. :frozen: I didn't find much, but still had a great day of hunting with the guys. My first find of the day was an 1890 Indian. My second, and in my opinion, my best find of the day was...

I met up with Daddy Digger & Ill Digger Saturday to hunt in this spring like weather. We were meeting at 8:00 to hunt a few curb strips before we started door knocking, but as luck would have it, just as Dave got there they noticed a home owner leaving his house with his dog. Long story short...

I checked my lawn this morning and it seemed pretty soft. So I met up with my friend Tim and we headed out to a town with an 1800s park. We got there about 8:30 and when I tried to dig my first signal, it was FROZEN Solid. :frozen: :bangahead02: We decided to drive an hour to one of my old...

I went out today looking for an old farm house to hunt. It took a couple of hours, but I finally found a house with somebody home and thankfully they said yes. My first three finds were 3 1800s Illinois Central Railroad buttons. All found within a 3' radius. after those I hunted for about a...

I went out this morning with my friend Tim to hit a few parks. At first the ground was pretty soggy, not that it mattered because we found absolutely nothing in the parks. About 2 oclock we decided that the ground dried enough to try a little door knocking. Our first couple of houses said no...

Not much to show, but it's probably going to be a while before I get out again. My first find of the year was a 1926 buff that I dug just before the freeze. My second was a 1903 V nickel that I chiseled out of the ground in a wooded area that I hunted yesterday. .

We don't find quite as cool stuff here in Illinois as you do out east.

The back of this Indian was up against the face of the V. I thought about cleaning the V more, but decided to leave it as is.

:frozen:No, Not Yet!:frozen:

I got out today with my friend Tim to do a little door knocking. We found a small rural town neither of us has been to before. The first house we stopped at gave us a very friendly yes. After about 15 minutes, I got a 12-36 at 7 inches. I dug the plug and pulled out an 1906 Indian. Ok, great...

Nope

I got out today for most of the day. Another tough outing, but I did manage a few good finds. The first house I hit I dug a 1956 Rosie The next couple of house only produced a few wheats. The next house was a little better. I dug an 1892 Indian, a sterling Spider ring and a thimble. The last...

I dug these at an 1800s farm house today. Obviously, the first item is some kind of scissors, but I've never seen any like these before. Any idea what they are? I also dug a flat button. I have no idea if it's old. I know some of you guys are button experts. What do you think?

Yesterday, I met up with Tony Two-Cent for a little hunting. We started out at an old school site and found nothing more than a wheatie or two. We decided it was time for a little doorknocking. One of the first house we stopped at was an 1839 home. We got a polite no because the owner said he...

hey Dave, I had a great time yesterday. Couldn't have asked for a better day. And your welcome, If I hadn't got that two indian scouting party out of the way, you might never have captured the rest of the tribe. LOL That ring cleaned up nice too.:congrats: Here are my two plus a green wheat

I was finaly able to get out for a few hunts this week. Last Saturday, Alec and i got out for a few hours. Alec dug an old Illinois tax token and I dug a 1928 Buffalo. Fast forward to Friday. I stopped after work and did one house, one Good house. I dug a 1944 Washington, 1946 Rosie, 1945 Merc...

Last week, I met up with Daddy Digger for a four day hunt. We hunted Northern Illinios Wednesday & Friday, but Thursday we had to travel into Wisconsin to avoid all the rain we were getting here in Illinois. I struggled to find silver, but I had a pretty decent week over all. I was able to...

A couple of weeks ago I hit a couple of houses and had pretty good luck. Saturday, I dug a 42 Washington, a 41 Merc, a 57 Rosie and a 1907 Indian. Sunday, I dug a 44 Merc and a 1934 Wasnington.

I drove up to Wisconsin Saturday with my friend Bernie. Once the rain stopped, we ended up hunting 4 houses. I was able to get one Coin from each house.(not counting wheats). The first house gave up a 1928 merc and a trade token, the second house gave me a 1907-O Barber dime. We moved to...
