With all the great finds you folks have been making, I had to get out for a short hunt tonight. Although, I plan on getting some nice hunting in tomorrow... I just couldn't wait until then. lol :blush: Went out for some park hunting before sunset and picked up four keepers. The soil in this park...

Made it back to 'Seated' park this morning for a few hours of searching. Targets are getting harder to find than when I first stepped foot at this site. But, once again the park rewarded me for my efforts. Also found a neat token. This park surprisingly held many nice coins that made for...

All three of us attempted to find keepers from a new park this morning... and I do mean attempted. It was tough going. :dontknow: Although the fall weather was prefect for hunting, the good coins hid very well. I was able to find a couple for my pocket though. Found my 4th Ford Model T key this...

I had to travel to a small town for non-metal detecting reasons this afternoon. Last night I looked the area up on google and found a park worth a try once business was finished. For 90 minutes I searched for a reason to make a return trip in the future. It was a challenging hunt since a...

I found this on Thursday while hunting a park in Wisconsin with Ill Digger. Finally got it cleaned up for a picture. It is reversed to look at it, so I can't help but think it is a press plate for an advertisement. As is... Flipped horizontally in Photoshop. I was hoping to find online the...

Ron and I made our way to a park neither one of us have been to before. Two keepers found their way into my pocket. :happydance01:

Tim and I were finally able to put a hunt together. All though the planning was somewhat last minute, we still made it work. Met him and his buddy at a park in search of some oldies. Not quite as many shinny ones as we would have liked, but everyone pulled out some old ones. The Merc jumped in...

After my lucky run of Seateds, Barbers and multiple IH's I am back to reality. :) Tonight I was finally able to turn my detector back on right around 5:30. Not much time left for evening hunts as the sun is getting down pretty early. By 7:15 it was starting to get dark but not before I pulled...

This morning Ron (Rgorman) and I headed back to a park we hunted last week. Turned out to be a very fun morning. :happydance01: Recovered three nice silver coins along with a couple of wheat cents. Also managed to find something very similar to what many of you Civil War hunters find. I...

Went to a park in town this morning that I haven't been to since earlier in the summer. I've managed a couple of Mercs and plenty of wheat cents from here on past hunts. For the hour I was there, I ended up with a few in my pocket. :happydance01: Kind of funny how a morning starting with a cup...

until my buddy Ron called and said to check the mint mark of the 1915 Buffalo nickel I found last week. Turned out to have the S mark. :clapping:

Put a few hours in this morning at the park across the river. Getting a lot more detecting company there too. lol I spoke with a woman in the park this morning and she said there has been 3-4 other dectorists there this last week. :shocked04: Luckily there are still plenty of coins in the...

Has anyone else noticed that Indian Head cents seem to have the widest range of id's when trash and/or depth is factored in? In the last couple of months, I have observed that IH's will sometimes ID all across the board when it is not the only thing under the coil. Nickels, silver and wheat...

Got out early this morning with new forum member Rgorman. We decided to drive south of town to a park neither one of us has been to before. Looks like the Seated was hit with a large caliber bullet. Although a neat story is probably connected with the dime, I'd rather have a hole in one of the...

I finally talked Dave into a hunt at the park. It worked out nicely for both of us. :happydance01: When we first arrived, Dave asked to let him know when I got over a promising signal. In quick order I was calling him over to check out a potential coin. I mentioned to him that there was...

Both hunts were at the park I have been searching lately. Good targets are not finding their way under my coil as often as some of my previous hunts there. But good ones are still coming up. Sunday morning... And a couple of hours tonight before it got dark... I still like to believe there...

Back to the productive park this morning for some hunting. Not more than 10 minutes after arriving the drizzle started. So I searched the area beneath a couple of big old trees trying to wait out the rain. First good signal was fairly deep due to some fill dirt leading up to the jungle gym...

I braved through some heat and a lot of humidity tonight and resumed hunting at a park that continues to give up nice coins in between clumps of trash. By the way, where did all the late evening sunlight go? crying01 I picked a 15x15 square that gave up some nice old ones on previous hunts...

Dave and I decided to try an old park this morning that neither one of us had been too. Small park in a small Iowa town. The place sure looked promising when we arrived. Nice old trees, no obvious signs of fill dirt and the park was in the center of this town. Everything seemed to line up for a...

Did some park hunting this morning and boy was the ground sure singing. Silver, IH's and a couple of wheat cents made for a very fun hunt. :happydance01:
