With frozen ground just around the corner, I again felt the urge to run up to the park for quick hunt. Got over one silver right off the bat and the other on the way back to the truck. :happydance01: Looks like we might be getting close to borrowed time next week here in Iowa. crying01 I...

I didn't think I was going hunting today because we were heading north to visit our daughter's great-great-grandma. As we were getting ready to pull out of the drive way, Dana asked, Aren't you bringing your detector?. :happydance01: After enjoying a nice breakfast with everyone... off I went...

Ron and I were finally able to put together a hunt with forum member dalewestaby. :clapping: Thanks for driving the distance to join us. In October I researched a park in Wisconsin that looked to have some potential for 1930's and newer coins. With six full hours of search time today, I invited...

Again, feeling the push of winter I made it out for some quick hunts. Top row came from my 'go to park' when I have a short time to hunt. Next row came from the spot I picked up the Dime Grand Slam recently. Nothing other than a Wheat cent came up that I missed the last time visiting the...

With winter getting closer, I just had to squeak in another couple hour hunt this morning. thumbsup01 Yesterday morning produced only silver quarters but today I pocketed a fun variety of dimes. :happydance01: I don't think I have ever dug all four in one hunt before. :dontknow: Definitely a...

I've been admiring all of the great finds you folks have been making lately. :smitten: :clapping: Got out there myself today. :happydance01: Can't say I have ever had a 1:1 silver ratio like this before. About a three hour hunt this morning that produced 3 silver quarters in a 10 minute window...

Ron and I went out hunting Friday morning. Our plan was to search two church grounds. First spot was chosen for the potential oldies that run deep. We knew going in that these targets might be few and far between. Last year I got my coil over a 9-10 two cent piece. We figured one good deep...

We headed down to the 40's recreation site this morning for a little fall silver recovery. :) Ron picked up a Washington for his 101st silver for the year from the area he found the Franklin half last week. :clapping: I headed a different direction and went low and extremely slow in the pull...

We did a 100+ mile out road trip on Sunday to check out several parks that have been on our list to try this year. Only the first one gave up some silver. One holed Seated dime for Ron and a Barber, Merc and IH for me. We briefly hunted a few more less productive parks on the way home without...

I had just under two hours to hunt this morning before a job. Since Ron was busy, I had to fly solo. Along with the usual 60's clad, I managed to pocket five before heading for home. Yep... I autographed the Rosie. lol Another sterling ring.

After a little while had passed, Ron and I returned to this SITE for more searching. Once again... my hunting partner came up with better <: keepers from the dirt here than I did. And some nice ones too. :drool: We searched a different section of the field than the first time. Silver coins...

Kind of cool. :) Definitely the furthest coin from home.

This morning Ron and I got out for some park hunting. Felt like fall weather has finally arrived. :smitten: It is so much more enjoyable hunting in these temps than the sweat box weather we had all summer. Got over two silvers this morning, first the Rosie then the surprise quarter . It was in...

Ron wanted to check out a park this morning he said, he and his buddies use to Chase girls in the 1960's. lol After a, somewhat, short road trip to this small town... I was shocked I hadn't noticed this park last year. :shocked04: I thought I hit about every park within a 45 mile radius of our...

I was on my way home from work this afternoon when I noticed a property owner outside of a house I have had my eye on for a while. Pulled up, asked and received the 'go ahead'. After going home to get my gear, I was back in the yard for a quick hour and a half hunt. thumbsup01 The Post Office...

I was finally able to get out and dig some silver!! :happydance01: A couple of months ago I was browsing some older maps and located a recreational area from the late 40's... picnics, baseball, football. It took awhile to track down the owner of the field, but yesterday I finally made contact...

Sunday night my wife got a call from a co-worker (Brian) about one of his neighbors property. The neighbor owns an 1860's home. He (Brian) arranged for me to meet the guy before he left at 8:30 for work. Although I wasn't planning on hunting this morning, I certainly had to rearrange my...

We decided to give 'silver park' a break for this hunt in order to try a new spot. Ron lined this one up to add to our roster. The area we were searching today had lots of public activity starting in the mid 40's. After arriving and firing up the machines, it wasn't long at all before the...

Ron and I did some park hunting early this morning. We headed to a park we hadn't searched since last year. Although we both ended up with silver and old cents, it was truly a 'needle in the haystack' endeavor. :yes: The good news is I have three more small town parks on my radar I'm anxiously...

We had another break in the heat today. :clapping: After a week of mid 90's and lots of humidity, the temperature broke again today for a very pleasant Sunday morning hunt. Low 70's for the entire morning. Did some park hunting and managed to get keepers in my pocket. Plus an enjoyable...
