I got in a few more evening hunts this week at this season's sweet spot. Finds are slowing down and I think after a few more hunts I'll have dug what there is to be dug for the most part. I'm looking forward to posting all the details in full and totals of finds from this spot. At any rate, I...

I got in some good detecting this weekend. On Saturday morning I was up early and in the tot lots, where I was rewarded with some nice clad and a small 10k gold pendant. Gold always makes my day, even when it's tiny, and it's been a while since I found any so I was feeling pretty pleased. After...

I got in three short evening hunts earlier this week and hit my new sweet spot each time. The results were not too bad; 80 coins total which included 17 wheats, a 1945 Canadian penny, a beat up 1890 Indian Head, and a 1947 quarter. I got the usual trinkets and junk too. I'm hoping for more luck...

Your opinions please... Say you hunt a nice grassy lot in a residential area. The lot is surrounded by houses from the early 1900's on two sides and from the 50's and 60's on the other two sides. For as long as the area has been residential it has been an open lot, and before that it was farm...

Couple of day's hunts here... Short evening hunts on Thursday and Friday at the sweet spot gave up a bit of clad, a few more wheats, and a nice Merc. Saturday I headed several towns over and did the tot lot thing. I scored a few bucks in clad and a 1953 dime which was a nice surprise. That's...

I have been getting in some short evening hunts at my new sweet spot over the past few days - three hunts total with some nice results. I dug 65 coins total which included 11 wheats, a '35 Merc, and a '42 quarter. I also found some interesting bits and pieces, including a NY Tel Co tag, and...

I got back on Saturday from the annual family vacation at the beach in New England. Pretty much all year I look forward to those early mornings on the beach detecting, both for the beauty and calm of the surroundings as well as the possible good finds. Now that my father is hooked on detecting...

I got in a short hunt at the spot last night, and did pretty well. In addition to 7 wheats, a '43 Canadian penny, and a '52 nickel I dug a well worn 1917 S Merc and a '53 Rosie. I also pulled a nifty item that I'm sure is silver (it isn't marked and I haven't tested it yet). It reads 1st Sep...

Amid the Spanish silver, seated coins, dimes, trimes, sublimes, etc being posted on the forum, here's my pile of boring old (er, boring new) modern clad for your consideration. lol I hit my new sweet spot on Friday evening, but came away with just a few wheats. I decided to give it a break...

Hit the spot for a short hour long hunt this evening. I was rewarded with 15 coins total, but among them were 3 wheats, a shiny '48 dime, and a surprising 1891 Indian Head cent that is well worn but in otherwise nice shape. In fact, this Indian Head is in better shape than most of the wheats...

If anyone could tell me what the item next to the dime is, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks!

Yeah, I count war nickels as silver... :grin: I got in some more hunts at that new spot of mine this week - two short evening hunts, a nice long hunt on Saturday morning, and then another short one on Sunday. I pulled quite a few more goodies - total for the week was 2 beat up Indian Heads...

By the luckiest of happenstances I stumbled across one heck of a spot this weekend. I don't want to give too many details until I get in a few more hunts there (just in case) but I'm too excited by these finds to not post. Long story short, I dug some 70+ wheats, a dateless Buff, a beat up 1915...

I had the opportunity for a hunt this evening. They've covered over just about everything with gravel and dirt at the construction area I've been hunting, so I think I'm done there for now at least. So I'm back where I was at the beginning of the season with no new places to hunt. I headed to an...

I got out for a short hunt tonight in some unpleasantly humid conditions. I headed to the nearby park construction area. They have already covered over most of the areas with gravel and fill, but they moved some stuff around too which exposed some new areas. My first target gave a nice 12-46...

I got out not quite so early this morning and headed back to the park where I had one of my best hunts ever on Saturday. I was not expecting a repeat, but I knew there must be some more goodies to be had. I did not hunt long, but still wound up with a handful of coins and among them were four...

I am pretty tired right now and still doing the dance from this morning's hunt! <: I was up before dawn intent on hitting the construction zone in a nearby park. They have scraped the top layer of soil in an area alongside a road at the edge of the park. I had a great day... one of my best...

Another long day at work... My dad's Barber dime find got me all charged up for some detecting though. On my way home from work I had less than an hour of daylight left so I stopped at the park I hit yesterday. They are tearing up an edge of the park along a road for some type of project. No...

My slow year for detecting continues... even now that the weather has improved work has picked up quite a bit. I'm not getting in that many hunts and even when I do I seem to be stuck in the rut of hunting the same old spots over and over. At any rate, I was going to go in to work tonight to...

I ran some errands on lunch today, and because I'm obsessive I stopped by the grocery store to check the coinstar reject slot. Payday! Two silvers and the usual Canadian coinage. Maybe I should quite trying to dig silver and just hit all the local coinstars... :dontknow:
