Found my first barber coin today. At a park that i wouldn't expect to find one. 1894-S quarter.

I've only been finding clad at the old fair grounds lately. Today i found sixty one cents. But i finally found something worth showing too! It's about the size of a silver dollar. Probably brass. But at least it's not a rat token! rofl

Instead of the fairgrounds again today, i decided to give the park where i grew up a try with the V3i. This is the park that was used as a skating rink in the winter when i was a kid. As i arrived i could see that the soccer people have got their goal nets out and have the lines sprayed onto the...

Finding the four silver coins i found at the fairgrounds must have been coincidence. Caused by the ground heaving over the winter or some other reason. I can't believe that i just ran my coil over the only silver that was left there the first week out. Anyhow, i have finished detecting a good...

Went to the fairgrounds today and found $2.05 in clad and pennies. two quarters and ten dimes and five pennies. I also knocked Kennedy half off my list!!! (no need for a picture,you know what it looks like) I got one of those half dollar at 1 inch signals and figured juice bottle cap or crushed...

Got out to the fairgrounds this morning for a short hunt. The wind was cold and blowing up my dress! Stayed long enough to find $.73 in clad, one of those things that fishermen use to measure and weight fish. (it was like a Giant56 kinda find) :grin: And my first silver rosey! A 1954, a year...

I went back to the old fairgrounds today hoping that i could get more good stuff. I spent about three hours there and found a small handful of clad a brass fitting a large copper grommet a car wash/no cash value token and a tie clip from the third national bank of Nashville. After all that i...

I just made a setup for electrolysis that i saw on the internet. I got a 12 volt DC charger at the Goodwill store and hooked up the alligator clips. I tested it out on a crud covered IH penny i had. My question, for anyone that has a setup for this is. Does the spoon and the coin both bubble...

Last week i decided to order a spare digging tool on E-bay. So i made an offer and was accepted. This morning i went to the fairgrounds again and the ground was still a little frozen. Well, i got a hit and dug a plug and at the bottom of the hole was a big piece of iron. I figured i would dig it...

Today i was gonna take the V3i to the tot lot in a nearby town. But i had mail to take to the post office so i changed my mind. I went over to the old fair grounds that i have been to before with the DFX. I figured i would check out the field area now that there are no sports going on. I found...

I hate CDH!!! Who is CDH? I have no idea. But (he or she) leaves rolls of half dollars at just about all the banks in all the cities and towns around me. And they never have any of the good silver halves in any of them! I would like to beat CDH, not literaly (well maybe) lol. But i would like to...

Went to the bank in town where i was getting the most silver kennedy halves from. Bought $40.00 worth from them. They seem to have a bag of loose halves in the vault. I asked my wife to call the manager there to see if i could purchase all that they have. (she knows the woman who is the manager)...

I stand alone in an open field. Wondering what the day will yield. I start to walk, kind of slow. My gaze locked on the ground below. When suddenly a tone i hear. I kneel so that the earth is near. I dig the spot the sound came from. To find what item caused the thrum. This relic which...

I've watched the shows with the guys bidding on storage units many times. Probably alot of you have too. I decided it was time to check out these auctions and see what they are really like. Today my sons and i headed to Wyoming Michigan for an auction of about 7 units. If you have ever watched...

Sent my Vision in for the update to V3i today. Hope it will be gooder when it gets back. Should have plenty of time before i can use it anyhow. But i wouldn't think it would take them too long to get it done. So if i get out in the woods in the snow soon. i'll take the DFX. :cheesysmile:

Right now i'm looking out the fifth floor window at Daytona Beach!!! <: maybe tomorrow i'll get a chance to run my detectors over the sand. It's kinda windy today and i watched a guy from Illinois running an older White's machine on the beach. He said he left alot of stuff for me! rofl From the...

Got out today in beautiful North Carolina. I'm visiting my son who lives here. We went to a beach area today and i found $1.53. He found $1.56. Part of his was a quarter he found in a vending machine at walmart. lol Picture $3.09 in clad here -------------->

Awhile back i drove from my home to the neighborhood i used to live in as a kid. It's about 25 miles to a small park near what was my childhood home. As i was detecting the soccer field there i got a good solid signal. The DFX showed foil/ring. The signal was good, so i dug! I hit this small...

Finally, my wifes big mouth came in handy! lol She was talking to a woman who came into the flower shop to order flowers. They got to talking about their husbands (i'm one of them) being retired. She asked what i was doing now that i'm retired? My wife said i was metal detecting. Then she says...

O.K. nobody told me where to go.(which isn't normal) But i jumped ship also. I actually found a link to this forum on another forum (not the one that's gone crazy) And low and behold, a bunch of names i recognize. I even know where Kenfen is hanging out now. I've not been at that other forum...
