    Finally silvers

    Been a dry spell finding any silver coins but not from a lack of trying. I get out 2 - 3 hours most days. Just not a lot of old coins here but its sure sweet when I can see something shiny and round in the hole. I was digging early Monday morning and I found silver #3. A 1964 Washington quarter...

    First earring

Earring has some marks on it but I am unsure what it means. I think its stamped g25 but maybe I'm wrong. Its gold colored and there are more marks but I...

    Token with a swastika

    Went to the local elementary school to hunt while my daughter was in band practice. The first signal I had came up as 80 on my f2 so I thought it would be a quarter. It was about four inches down and when I got it out of the hole I could tell it wasn't a quarter but could see any detail on it...

    $100 mark

    Finally some rain

    Been so dry here in Wisconsin that it has been hard to dig and now we have some but it may be too fast and hard to do a lot of good but it will help.

    First silver GW

    The wife and I were going to go shopping for a rock tumbler this evening and there was about 15 minutes if her show left to watch so I grabbed my machine for a little look and my first hit was a silver quarter. 1964. I really would have liked to have seen my face when that popped out because it...

    Thursday night with the f2

    After finding my first silver coin, I couldn't wait to go back in that area and see if there were any more there so I spent about six hours searching but no luck. Did end up with about $4.50 in clad And the usual amount of other stuff But there is a lot more area here to cover so I haven't...

    8 minute hunt yields silver ring

    Today after I ate lunch I had eight minutes before I had to leave to go back to work so I grabbed my f2 and started hunting around my camper. My first hit turned out to be an old screw cap. A foot away I got a solid hit that rang up as an 82/83 so I thought I was digging up a quarter but it...

    Campground night hunt

    Got out for 1½ hours tonight before the lighting chased me in. Went to the oldest part of the park hoping to find my first silver coin. Was not to be but didn't do too bad for me. $2.04 beats my regular hourly average. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but I dig most all signals trying to...

    Just want to send out a big hello to everyboby

    Just started detecting last fall when I bought a Garrett GTA 350 at a garage sale and got hooked right away. This spring I bought a Fischer f2 at a garage sale and had to learn all over again. When I can't detect, I am reading about all of you to get my fix. I just figured out how to post so I...
