Rumor has it that Minelab will be releasing a pinpointer this spring. If anyone has any hard info, please post (there is an annoying UT vid that I did not feel was worthy of posting; feel free to search it out)

Was 62 degrees today in Chester County, PA happydance02, and I was fortunate enough to get out. Managed to pull a pair of IH's, a dime trifecta, and a barber half. <: The obverse of the one IH is too abused to get a date off of, but the other is an 1892. The half is a 1894S. I remembered one of...

Well, its time to get back to my stories, and, I think this one is kinda cool. Recently I posted a complete silver spoon, with an '07 on the back, and a monogrammed name on the front. One of my goals was to attempt to find the family and return the spoon to the heirs. I wasn't sure how to do...

Ground is starting to freeze up again around here, but got out for a bit this afternoon, and almost scored a dime trifecta happydance02 only a barely legal quarter instead of the rosie. The barber is a 1907 O (I love finding O mint coins for some reason). Also got a nice 5+ gram sterling ring...

Got out for the first time in a while, after a bit of thawing, to a new site I had high hopes for older keepers. I expected the targets to be sparse, and they were, but the one keeper was a whole silver spoon, my first complete one. happydance02 :happydance01: I'm not sure how old it is, but...

This is a couple of firsts for me, a pre 1800's Federal issue copper where I could read the date, and my first draped bust LC. :happydance01: Its pretty abused, as are all coppers in our acidic soil, but I'll take it <: <: <: I've been looking for a draped bust LC for a long, long time. Best...

63 degrees here in Chester County PA today <: if you can believe it. My wife tagged along on this morning's hunt, she had never tagged along before except on the beach, but I told her you have to see the sight of silver in the hole -- its just the most fun aspect of this hobby. (It was cool as...

Friday I got out for 5 hours, and pulled one more barber dime happydance02, which would be my final and 516th silver coin <: for 2011. Saturday I spent a good long time at a 1700s field which in 3 previous hunts, has only given up one old coin, an 1800 Spanish silver, and a handful of old relics...

Yesterday got out for 2 hours before the rains hit >:\ >:#, but managed to score a somewhat tarnished barber dime, and very nice 1919 merc -- the scan doesn't do justice, but its my nicest pre 40s merc. Today got out in the morning as well, before succumbing to errands >{, but managed to dig 3...

Wasn't too bad today, mid 40s and off and on sun -- keep trying to squeeze one more hunt out of this year. Went back to the site from Christmas eve where I pulled 2 barbers, and pulled another barber in pretty decent shape happydance02 and a pair of V nickels. These are my first V nickels of...

Got out for a couple hours this morning to a site I haven't hit since spring, and it was cold (about 34). Santa came early and dropped a 1899 barber dime in my stocking happydance02 Its a nice one with a full liberty, tho it doesn't really show in the scan. I think I need some more time at this...

Yesterday I scored my second liberty cap large cent (its quite abused, but better than my first), as well as my first dime trifecta. I expected some coppers out of this site I'd been working the past couple of weeks, and finally got some, on my final hunt there. Sadly, the second one is...

Yesterday hit an old school that grudgingly gave up one merc on my first hunt there, but wanted to give it another go, and after about an hour and a half of gridding and not even scoring a wheat, I was getting a bit frustrated (more cause it was cold and windy :frozen:). I broke out of the grid...

I figured last Friday was the end of my season, and I wasn't able to hunt this past weekend due to family and work obligations, but the week started out warm, and who am I to turn down the chance to hunt a bit more, especially when a recent site has been more than generous? :crazy: The site had...

Tuesday's hunt was cut short by rain and it rained all day Wed. >:\ I was almost ready to call it a season, but the last target on Tue before the rain hit was a silver, so on Thu I had to go back to that site, which produced 2 multi silver days in the 2 days I hit it. Who wouldn't go back...

Yesterday managed to pull 5 silver coins and a nice sterling ring :happydance01: , and pulled 4 more today happydance02 before it started to rain >:\ This site seems very E-Trac friendly; all but one of the silvers was very deep, in heavy trash, or both. Definitely had to have your listening...

Dug my 6th IH of the year today, a 1906. Still time to catch up to jkress, if his ground freezes before mine :poke: lol I don't get too many of 'em, as they come out of our acidic soil pretty abused, and it hardly seems worth it and they rarely ring clean, but this signal was too obvious to pass...

I rarely get to hunt on Saturdays, but my wife and son had plans, and that means just one thing -- grab the detector and get out, especially when the forecast is 64 and sunny. <: Headed for a site I've been eyeing for more than a year, the same sort of characteristics of my recent 127 silvers...

Nice 60ish day here in Chester County PA today, which is rare post Thanksgiving, so I took the opportunity to see if yesterday's honeyhole would give up more goods. I expected 3 or 4 more silvers by my read of the site, but was pleasantly surprised to pull 11 more silver coins, as well as an...
