Rob and I got in a Saturday afternoon hunt at 2 parks today. Park one I got myself the 1947 and 1954D rosies plus 3 wheats. Park two is where we have hunted before and only came up with clad. I managed one more wheat while Rob, yes I will say it, got 2 buffalos plus some other goodies. Me and...

Rob was away this weekend so I to brave the area alone. The day started out very slow. The first keeper was the musketball. Then a couple of wheats, of all the wheats (9) the earlies was 1913. Around the basketball court I found the sterling ring, marked 925, very thin but the stones look really...

Rob and I hit many parks today but our old standby was still producing. Rob had a great day, he will probably post tomorrow. I left the house this AM with the intention of getting at least 2 silvers to hit that 200 mark. The first silver item was the sterling St. Christopher medal, then the...

Today I hunted by myself as Rob had parenting duties he had to attend to. I went back the 1700's house where I had found the eagle hat plate. Nothing that good this time around but I did get a 1943 merc and 3 wheats. Also got a sterling silver bowl to a spoon. This is my 3rd silver bowl to a...

Went back to the park that I was at yesterday. Thought that maybe I could find the other half to that ring but no luck. I did get some more clad and my 1st Barber of the year, a 1907. Not a stellar find but it gives me one more for my signature. Thanks for reading and HH everybody.

My Easter obligations did not start until 2:30pm so I had some time this morning to go swing. I decided to go to an old ball field here in town. Was really trying for a Buffalo but not today. The first pass I got this nickle signal and started to dig. Said 4 down, and that beautiful ring pops...

Had to work today so had just a little time to detect. Went to my neighbors house and all of our houses are from the turn of the century. Found the little metal at about 5 among some roots. It measures about 1 1/2 x 1 and says Boydell Bros on the front and on the back it says ON. I know that...

Rob and I hit up a park today and the pickings were slim. I did manage to dig a wheat 1924 (no D) real early in the day. Then the coins just seemed to dry up. got some lead seals (2) and some harness buckles (2). The heart shaped lock would be really cool if the back wasn't damaged. Towards the...

Rob and I hit up some parks today. The 1st one that we actually stopped and hunted is the same park that I found the Seated dime in. This time around I got 2 IH's, a 1883 and a 1905. Also got 3 wheats and a ring. Now this ring has two incised marks, one being 18 and the other a crown. If anybody...

Rob and I had a few hours this AM before he had to go to the St, Patricks Day parade. We went to this tiny and I mean tiny park and all we got was some clad. We next went to another park here in town and Rob finally gets himself a wheat and I got the sterling cross. The cross is not marked but...

Rob and I hit the park again this afternoon. The weather was great and everybody was out enjoying it. Don't know if Rob will have time to post but I will tell ya that he got himself a dime trifecta. I managed to get a 1942 merc towards the end of the hunt. I also got what I am thinking is a...

Being the little kid that I am, I went to the Dollar Store to get me some candy. Got out of the car and took about 2 steps, looked down and there it was. Picked it up, put in pocket, got my candy, came home and tested the gold. Tested at 14k but I will have to go to a jeweler for confirmation...

Hope everybody affected by this storm/blizzard weathers it in good fashion. Right now its not to bad but its suspose to get real bad tonight. Tomorrow I will take a picture out my front door and post it, hope everybody else can do the same. The 1st picture is of my car, a Honda Civic. :omg...

Rob has some out of town company for the weekend so I hit the dirt solo today. Went to another park in another town, the ground was nice and soft. Only managed to get some clad so I moved to another park. First good coin was the IH -1902 then it got real quite for quite awhile. Finally managed...

Yesterday Rob went to the library to do some research. Right off the bat I want to send a shout out to Rob, thank you. Today we went to another town and were looking for 3 parks. The 1st on we found had some bare ground so we decided to stop and hunt. We got out of the car all excited and...

Had today off of work so after doing some chores I decided to clean up the clad I had left over from 2012. Tumbled the clad for over 2 hours and this is what I found = = 1957 Wash. The dirtiest silver I have ever found, even after the tumbling. Now brings 2012 silver total to 68, wish it was...

Here I am with the day off, way to much snow on the ground, so I rounded up some of my best. Overall 2012 was pretty good to me, most silvers in a year (67), most wheats (294), most Barber coinage and some great relics. I got my first key date, a 1884 Canadian Five cent, my 1st love token, the...

Dang it.....Rob and I hit the park again today. We only hunted for about 3 1/2 hours but at least Rob accomplished his goal. Right off the bat I get a wheat, then another, and another then a 1956 rosie. All right, the day is starting well, sad to say that was about it for the day. I did end the...

Now that you are here please continue reading. It's been about 2 weeks since our last outing and today wasn't that bad. Between Rob and I we pulled another 7 silvers from the park. Rob is on a quest to reach 100 silvers. Today he got 4 closer and he now only needs 4 more. He got some great...

Again Rob and I headed out to our favorite park. It was cold so I,m glad that I listened to my wife who suggested that I bring a jacket. Ran the V3i in High Trash program all day. Started out very slow with just some memorials and clad then some wheats started to pop. I was just wandering around...
