Today i hit a school/park that i had hit once before only doing around the play equipment and only finding a handful of clad and a small sterling ring. I decided to park at the end of a dead end street that ends at the park instead of parking by the school. (since school was still open) Just...

I hit the small park in town yesterday and got just $1.15 in clad. So today it was back to the iceskating park. I detected a bit at one side of the park as there were kids from a local school there playing football. Then i decided to hunt the strip outside the fence betwen the road and the...

Yesterday i hit the park that i got the SLQ from a week or so ago. Only found $1.63 in clad and that was with .80 in one hole .51 in another and one hole with two dimes. Also got a dog tag type pendant with a harley eagle inscribed on it. Today it was back to the iceskating park. (before those...

I went back over to the iceskating park today to find some more goodies. There was a man there with his two dogs (big dogs) and he stopped me to let me know.... There have been about twenty people detecting this park in the last month. It's strange but all the times i have been there in the last...

Only a few other states have the same advantage as Michigan! We have a deposit on bottles and cans here of 10 cents. I make extra money by picking up cans and bottles left by soccer and football kids at the parks. It's sad that the coaches and parents don't make sure the kids don't leave water...

Hit the old iceskating park again today. Got a 1924 wheatie then i hit a 1956-D Rosie and directly to the left of the rosie about 12 a 192? merc. I also spent alot of time digging up short pieces of copper wire. And a few longer pieces. The object next to the wheat penny is copper also it is...

After i found the SLQ at the little park in town i hit it again the next day. My best finds were a 1937 and 38 wheatie. I went back today and made two passes from front to back and found exactly 0 coins. So i headed over to the old iceskating park to see if i could salvage the day. I only found...

My wife was slightly upset yesterday when i went to the old iceskating park later in the day and wasn't back before dark. I didn't take my cell phone so she couldn't call me. So today i decided to hit the little park in town that i found the barber quarter at. I found a dime then a penny then a...

Went back to the iceskating park today. First silver find was a 1943 Canadian dime. Also found another Canadian beaver nickle and two Canadian pennies. Got a 1952 Roosevelt a little later along with some American clad stuff. Then i found my first foreign (other than Canadian) coin. A 1 Pfennig...

I have come up with a theory as to why it seems that alot of detectorists (including me) don't find many silver Washington quarters or silver Roosevelt dimes. I guess the same could apply to Franklin halves. My theory is based on two things. .1) Most of the silver coins i have found are...

Yesterday it was a non gold fake diamond ring! Today i dug up $1.62 which included two mercury dimes. A 1918 and a 1916. Without any D's. The 1918 without a D didn't bother me too much. But that darn 1916 might just cooperate just this one time. lol Here's pics of two worn out ladies.......

Went to the iceskating park again today. My first dig was a memorial penny. Shortly after that i got another signal, so i dug! Out popped the plug and i see a gold ring. :omg: And i grab the blob of dirt it's in and start rubbing the dirt off. It's got five diamonds on it. :grin: Also in the...

Yesterday i went back to the old iceskating park that has been producing silver for me. I found a 1940 merc and three 1950's wheat pennies. Plus some clad! Got out as the soccer kids were starting to show up. It's a bit of a drive there so today i hit the old fairgrounds here in town again. Once...

Today i shot over to the little park by where i grew up. About a half hour drive. They used to freeze it in the winter for iceskating. It was just across the street from the grade school i went to so i walked across it on my way home. In the spring i would walk around the edge of where the rink...

Well, i had a good run with five trips in a row to the fairgrounds finding silver. My sixth trip was yesterday and the only silver i found was a bent up plated spoon that alot of the plating was coming off of. I did manage to find $2.03 including 1942 and 1958 wheats. Today i went back out in...

Got back late yesterday from our vacation up in northern Michigan. Took all of my detectors because my wife said i would get alot of opportunities to detect on vacation. It didn't happen quite that way! I was able to find a hand full of clad from a couple beaches. One i only found a nickle at...

No............... [size=1:crazy:t]YES!!! Today i got another merc from the fairgrounds a 1945. That makes four days in a row finding silver there. And 5 silver dimes all together. All told i ended up with $1.50 today my highest total so far. The seven dimes helped that out. They were all in...

O.K. so now i have hunted 5 times with my new E-trac and here are the results. 1.) .48 cents nothing really cool. 2.) .16 cents, 4 wheat pennies, oldest 1935. And what i thought was a 14k gold chain. (gonna test it myself to be sure) 3.) .32 cents, 1 wheat 1925, 1920 merc, 1947 rosey. 4.) $1.01...

:thinkingabout: Third time out with the E-trac was at the old fair grounds. A place i know has been hit hard over the last 50 years. I found some silver there in March when the ground was still partly frozen with my V3i. Today the E-trac found me a 1947 rosie and a 1920 merc. Also got a 1925...

:omg: Yes it's true i bought an E-trac. I wanted to test out one to see how it stacked up to the V3i. My first time out was at the old fairgrounds in town. I had no idea what the settings were in the detector probably just the factory settings. I found forty eight cents! Test number two was...
