Got a little detecting time in this afternoon. I went back to a place ( Hospital ) that I hunted several times last fall with nice results. Once again, the site did not disappoint. :happydance01: I wish all my hunts had this kind of silver to wheat ratio. lol Hope everyone had a fun...

plus a Buffalo. :happydance01: This evening I went back to the open lot I hunted yesterday. Silver coins aren't giving up as easily as the wheats. Aside from the cold wind, it was an enjoyable hunt. :yes: Most of the wheats are from the 20's and a couple are in the teens and 40's. I was...

I finally got out for real hunt today and it felt great. <: Actually I went to two different locations today. Early afternoon I went to a park looking for hidden silver... no luck. :angry: Second location was a new one for me. Lots of square nails, some clad, a token, wheats, a couple of silver...

with some wheats! :clapping: I took advantage of the thawed ground and got out for a little bit this afternoon. The dirt is in much better condition than a few days ago. Not too muddy and not frozen. :peace: I pulled these 5 wheats from a park here in town. Based on my silver to wheat ratio...

Grabbed a fresh 9 volt battery today and stuck it in my pocket, ready for when the other one died. Just like last time, there was some change in the same pocket. 8/ Once again, the coins made a perfect connection with the contact points and the battery heated up real quick to a very...

a little bit of grass!! <: Just had to get out and try. The ground was wet/sloppy and still frozen but it was a good time. I was able to swing the coil for just about an hour. A couple of pull tabs and a few pieces of clad was all I managed... but, I wasn't expecting too much. I had a 8/...

Tonight, by chance I found these photos that I took just about 20 years ago. I remember I was hiking in the woods that fall afternoon, looking for stuff to photograph. Came over a ridge and saw this abandoned house. Of course it was worthy of some pictures, but man-'o-man I wish I was metal...

intersect area:huh: Dave in Iowa and I are always on the look out for another hunting buddy. :thinkingabout: Dave and I get out around once a week... during the thawed season. lol If near... give a holler. :yes:

Hey folks, Since there has been some incredible and interesting coins posted on the 'Best Coin Ever' thread, I wanted to start one for all of the great tokens you all have found over the years. It was hard to pick my favorite, so I chose two. :rolleyes: Please post your tokens here for...

Hi folks, I am interested in some data from you all. I would like to see if there is a general ratio of how many wheats everyone digs to silver. There are variances to any statistic I realize this, but I would love to see if there is a general average amongst us treasure hunters. My wheat...

Since we are all following Angel's quest for his 1000th :shocked04: silver coin of the year, I thought I might make it a little more interesting. The prize... 1 Morgan silver dollar and 1 silver war nickel. rofl The rules... Guess what type of coin and date of the 1000th silver coin Angel...

I plan on getting a small coil for next year. On more than one occasion this year, I came across ground that was just too populated with metal objects for the stock 11 coil. I have narrowed my choices down to three coils... The Sunray 5, the Sunray 8 or the 8x6 SEF. Love to hear what you all...

for the year. :happydance01: I think I squeaked in my last hunt of the year this morning. The temps were still mild when I woke up but a quick check of the forecast revealed that if I wanted to get one more short hunt in for the year, this morning was going to be the time do it. I headed to a...

With a little warmer temperatures and plenty of sunshine today... I grabbed my detector and out treasure hunting I went. :yes: My first two stops were a couple of semi-old ball fields in small farming communities. The first showed promise with lots of clad from the 60's. If I could have...

It was a cold one out there this morning. :yes: Since it was 18 degrees when I woke up this morning, I decided to get some computer work done until it warmed up a bit. I ended up getting out around 10:30 this morning and I really hate to report that the ground is just starting to freeze here...

I went out for a little while this morning chasing my 99th and 100th silver coin at the old hospital... today I found them. <: I have officially entered the 100 club. Back in August I was sitting with 21 silver coins for the year using my Ace 250. I was happy with 21, but was a little worried I...

We decided to head down to the church I hunted over the weekend. Targets were still scarce but Dave hit a nice Merc. I got 4 wheats and this Adamant Suit Co. fob. Kind of cool. :yes: I even chased an iffy dime signal 4 inches down in the compacted gravel lot which turned out to be a wheat...

With the last 2 hours of daylight today open for me... I headed out again. :rolleyes: I went back to a spot I hit several times last year with my Ace. I wasn't there too long before the first silver dime came out of hiding, the others followed in quick order. Does anybody else with an Explorer...

Now that I am on the quest for 100 and the clock ticking, I'm taking full advantage of any metal detecting time I can get good or bad conditions. It was a cold one out there this morning and the wind was blowing at 25+ mph gusts. Most of the morning was gray and dreary, but the sun popped out...

Well the rain cleared off about mid morning just about the time I was finishing Saturday morning to do's, so I grabbed my detector and off I went. Went back to the hospital I started detecting earlier in the week. The first hour was slow, no silver and only 2 wheats. Then I stumbled upon a...
