    This wasn't even on my bucket list!

    This coin wasn't on my bucket list because I didn't know it even existed until I looked it up! Last year I had gotten permission at a fairly old house in town, don't know how old but the owner told me stories he'd heard about horse drawn sleighs coming to the house in winter, but when I went...

    A couple of bucket listers for me

    Started out hunting in a local park yesterday and still trying to learn the CTX. A lot of trash in the park and trying to pick good. So I'm doing well, getting some clad when I get a signal right on the edge of the gravel path showing about 5'' down, dig it out and I have my second ever Indian...

    Out playing with the CTX before the snow

    I was able to get out a couple times on Monday before the snow came in. I had 15 minutes before I had to pick up my wife so I hit a near by park. All I was able to find was a couple big hunks of iron and a few square nails before I left. Later I went to a different park and did better. $3.24 in...

    First silver for 2016

    In January I bought a new CTX 3030 and since I live in Wisconsin, everything is frozen so the CTX has not seen any use. Two nights ago I figured I'd give it a try since things have melted a bit. Just turned it on and used the program that comes up when you turn it on. Figured I'd try and dig up...

    Input on a new detector

    I have the means at this time to buy a different machine or two depending on what I find. This/these purchases are probably going to be my only opportunity to buy new or a used top end machine. I'm kind of stuck on getting an at pro for the water and shallower clad but am kind of lost after that...

    Buffalo nickles

    Since I haven't found one yet, I was wondering if buffalo pickles ring up the same as regular pickles and for that matter does a war nickle ring up the same? I use an f2 but am curious about any machine. Thanks Sent from my XT830C using Tapatalk

    First 1800's coin!

    Today I got out to check out a new permission. It was a ball field but I guess it was never used for that much and now is a truck pull field. Found 13 cents and a pile of can slaw. Have to give it a try later. Went back to a park I have been in lately. Swung for a little over an hour. My last...

    My first IH!

    Found my first Indian head penny at a local park yesterday and man did that thrill me. I've been hoping to find silver as the park was dedicated in 1947 but the area has been in use for longer than that but I know its been worked over pretty well by good diggers also. 1905 in good shape Also...

    Slim pickings lately

    Haven't had much success lately in the coin department but have found a few items to show off. An old brass shot gun shell, not in great shape but cool anyway Sorry about the picture quality but can't be helped. I believe this is something off of a horse bridle, a rosette I believe but I don't...

    Finally gold!

    A couple of weeks ago I was detecting in an area that I have been finding a few silver coins. When I started to find a few silver coins, I set a goal of ten silvers. I'm kind if trapped here at a campground and am allowed to dig so things could be worse. But anyway about the gold, I was...

    Silver and clad in the same hole

    I was out for a bit before work today and I had a nice quarter hit on the f2. So I cut the plug and stuck the digger underneath to help flip it over and then set the digger down to check out the hole and I saw a clad quarter in the hole, so I thought cool because I don't find as many as I would...

    Bucket lister found today

    Today before I went to work , I went mding for an hour and the last signal that I dug turned out to be a coin that I didn't really expect to find only because few people carry them. I should mention that my bucket list us pretty long as mostly all that I have found is current currency. So this...

    Silver ring in the hole!

    I've been getting out mding a couple of hours a day most days and have been finding a fair amount of rings. For the most part I am a coin shooter and mostly clad at that because that's mostly what is right here where I am at but as I learn more about this hobby and my machine, I have found...
