Work had me going south of town today. So with winter literally days around the corner, I threw my gear in the truck for some hunting at a park I hadn't searched yet this year. It was on my list, but since it was established in the 1940's... it wasn't at the top. :rolleyes: With an hour to...

almost a No-Seated Seated Dime. lol I spent the last two hours of daylight this afternoon searching for an Indian Head and found a couple more silver dimes. There is barely enough information left to identify it as a Seated... but just enough. Also found this sterling piece. Last but not...

Dave and I finally put a three hour hunt together again. :clapping: We arrived at the park a little before 10:00 a.m. to find a half inch or so of frozen ground. crying01 As the sun made it's way higher in the sky the earth soon became soft again. I picked up three Wheat cents along with these...

I was on a quest this afternoon for one coin... an Indian Head cent. Unfortunately I didn't find one, but did grab a few others for my collection along the way. :happydance01: There are no identifiable marks on the front. :confused:

Did some park hunting today and walked away with a couple in my pocket. :happydance01: Picked up eight Wheat cents as well. It was a good hunt.

Met with Ill Digger and Ted to hunt the picnic grove ridge I tried two weeks ago. The only coins I managed today were some Wheat cents and a Buffalo. Also found some picnic related items... a spoon, compact case and bottle opener. It was a fun time detecting on the ridge but while hunting I...

Went back to the park I hunted yesterday. But today, I was armed with 5 full hours of search time. :peace: Many keepers came up. Also scored a first for me. :happydance01: Plus a nice token from a neighboring town.

Headed out this afternoon for a two and a half hour hunt at a different park than the one I searched yesterday. I chose a different park today because I was curious if yesterdays results were a fluke. Strangely... the results were almost identical. :confused: The temps were in the 50's here...

With frozen ground just around the corner, I made room for a late afternoon two hour hunt. I've been very happy with my park hunting results this year but I still feel like I am probably missing many silver coins from the heavy trash areas. So... to the expert I went with more questions a...

Took off this morning to hunt an old farmhouse about 40 miles away. When I arrived, it was disappointing to see about an inch of slushy snow blanketing the yard. With the snow on the ground... I knew it would be quite messy digging holes. So instead, I traveled just a bit further and returned to...

This afternoon was my first hunt in an area that was used very heavily for picnics and baseball from the mid 1920's to late 1950's. I received the call from the owner yesterday afternoon to get my guys ready to go at 1:00 today. Unfortunately Ill Digger and Ted couldn't make it and Dave was...

Arrived at a site tonight with about an hour left of daylight. The area once was home to a late 1850's school house. I found the site earlier this year but never made it out that direction to hunt it. Ron and I started off in different directions trying to locate evidence of the school. We both...

I had 3 hours to find some silver this morning and headed to church that looked promising. :drool: After an hour and a half produced not one coin signal, I packed it up and was hoping to salvage the day at a different site that I was planning to try this weekend. The hour I spent at site B was...

Ron called me last night and talked me into a hunt this afternoon. We spent 90 minutes at a park that has been on my list since last year. This park is definitely worthy of a return trip for a much longer hunt. The soil here is sandy and very gentle on coins. Surprisingly, the coins we found...

Produced nothing this afternoon. crying01 Of course the drive to the site had me thinking about LC's, Seated coins and plenty of IH's. But reality sunk in pretty fast after I started hunting. lol It was obvious some major landscaping took place over the years. So I accepted defeat, packed it...

Did some park hunting on Friday and plucked a few for my pile. Also got out for just a bit today and uncovered a couple of shiny ones plus a bonus IH. I've got some new spots to try this week and I'm hoping at least one of them will get me happy dancing. lol

Tried my luck at a small town common yesterday morning. I've pulled a couple of silvers from this spot in the past but not much for my pocket at the end of the Sunday morning hunt. A couple wheat cents and two junk rings. However tonight's hunt was much more fun. I've recently received...

Headed out to a country site with the intentions of starting a series of hunts to slowly grid off the entire site. I haven't hunted here since last year and it has always been on my list to revisit. As it turned out, I didn't have very much time to hunt so instead of starting the grid...

Got out this morning for a hunt and arrived on site about 90 minutes before the down pour started. The EMI at this site was the most I have experienced so far. Sensitivity cut in half along with noise canceling every 12 feet made for a challenging hunt. :stretcher: The rain came to relieve me...

Finally got back out for a nice hunt today. Tried a two new parks that turned out to be duds. But, found a third on the way home that gave up a silver quarter and IH. After about 3 hours of hunting, it was very nice to see a silver rim in the plug. :happydance01: It was a tough day and I had...
