I hit a park today as I had no work but have to work tomorrow. I was able to add one more silver to the total, a 1939 merc and 5 more wheats. The buff looks to be either a 1921 or a 1927. The brooch looks to be brass with a nice design on it. Thanks for reading

It was so hot today.....Rob came over at 7am and off we went to the park. This park has been very, very good to us. Today was no exception. By 8:30 we were both just drenched in sweat but we kept going. A 10:30 we just had to leave and go get a liquid break so we went to MickeyD's. At this time...

Haven't been out much lately so I decided to hit some secret spots last night. First spot, which has been really good to me, homeowners not home. Next spot, homeowners home and got the go ahead. Not a very big yard and it has produced Barber, wash, rosies, IH, V. Last night was pretty slow going...

Only had a short time to hunt this morning as I had arranged to have breakfast with some people that I used to work with. We try to get together at least once a year. So that being said here are my finds. 4 wheats with the earlies being 1920, a beautiful sterling ring, and a pin that has a...

All week long I have had some serious foot pain so I couldn't get out to hunt. Today I felt fine so I headed over to one of my favorite parks. Nobody around, nice and peaceful, cool breeze, what more could I ask for. Started off pretty slow but finally dug a wheat. Lots of clad in between the...

Had to work today so I had a small window to hunt. Only hunted about 1 1/2 hours. The very first target was the SLQ (dateless) but I'm still smiling. The next target was a wheat then it slowed down. The ring is marked Sterling and the marble was an eyeball find. Both of the wheats are from the...

Finally we got some rain here, not much but still it rained. Had the day off so as I waited for the rain to stop I decided to go to the coin store and resupply my needs. At about 1pm the rain stopped so I went to park in town here and got a nice 1941 merc at about 1 1/2. Also got 3 more wheats...

I didn't get home from work until 6pm tonight so I rushed out the door, where to go, where to go. Headed to my grove that I have permission at and she was not home drat. Okay, headed to a park right down the street and the little leaguers had taken it all over, double drat. Where to go, where to...

I found this in Springfield today and I looked in my Red book but found nothing similar. to the left of the head I can make out CONV (I think). The reverse looks toasted but I have it soaking in oil so maybe something will come out of it. If anybody can identify this coin please chime in...

Rob came over at around 7am today and we headed into Springfield. He had gotten a lead on a park in a very bad section of town but we figured we would be there early so nobody should be up and about. We called it right. Rob managed to get himself 4 silvers, a buff, and 10 wheats (I think). I got...

Just got back from a 3 hour hunt. Boy was it hot, so hot that the bill on my cap had sweat dripping off of it. Went back to a park that has been pretty good to me and gridded out a section maybe 20 x 40. Managed to dig 6 more wheats, 29, 35, 37, 40, 42 and a no dater. Also got my 25th silver, a...

Seeing that we are having a heat wave coming real soon I decided to go out and do some hunting tonight. The 1st time I was at this location my V3i was very chatty but I did get a rosie and a wheat. This time I lowered the sensitivity and did alot better. Managed a 1963 wash quarter, 1890 V, 1908...

Joan and I were sitting at t he breakfast table Sunday morning and I asked this question. I sure wish that there was someway to find out. Now, how many of them will end up in the closet after a little while? And on the other hand how many new avid detectorist have been created with their new...

Went back to a park that has produced silvers everytime I have been there, well mostly. This last time I went super slow and really overlaped my swings. The only keeper was a 1943 merc. Today, I went back to another park and got 3 wheats all from the 30' and 40's. Wishing all fathers in forum...

Seeing that my detecting buddies had other plans for today, I went back to the park that is all torn up. I noticed that a lot of the dirt from the pile had been spread around. Got 3 silvers, 1943 s, 1944 merc and a 1951 d rosie. Also got 3 wheats all from the forties. The V nickel is a 1912...

Was able to get out after work and went to a house which has not really produced, but what the heck. Finally after 5 years of detecting I got my 1st tootsietoy <:. I think its in pretty good shape and once I get all the dirt out of and off of it will go in my toy display case. If any body can...
