We got out for about two and half hours this morning. Started at a church we had hunted last week. Pretty clean grounds but I did manage to find this nice thick sterling ring. We decided to finish the hunt down the road at the park I recently found a Barber half. I picked up 3 wheat cents...

Hunted a little on Friday. Went back to the park where I found the Barber half dollar. Pulled up to see another detectorist working the area... it was Dave! lol Put in about an hour together. This morning I made it back to the park I was hunting a couple weeks ago. Just couldn't find any...

What a nice way to start a busy work day. Snuck down to the park for a couple of hours very early this morning to see if I could coax a few more keepers from the ground... I did! <: I had 4 silvers, and a handful of wheats in my pouch within the first hour. I desperately wanted to add one more...

Went out with Dave for a little while this morning. Dave opted for a church in his neck of the woods instead of the park I hunted last week. Proved to be a good decision on his part. :yes: We hunted together for about two hours before the sun, humidity, lack of sleep and the remnants of a cold...

Put a couple more hours in this morning and was lucky enough to hear a few more good signals from the depths of the park. Unfortunately the ground is starting to really dry out here and the deep signals are starting to disappear. crying01 After a couple of days of rain... I am sure this park...

Hunted for 3 hours at the park this morning. Two deep signals crackled through my headphones plus one mid depth wheat. I love hearing those deep broken sounds. :smitten: Also picked up a bonus ring stamped Sterling. A nice chunk of silver. :peace: Wonder where the quarters are at this park...

Tried another small park tonight before heading to my productive one. The first park didn't yield much more than a few wheat cents. Met a guy that lives across the street from that park... he's a Minelab user too. After a while I moved on to the park I hunted a few days ago. A couple of the...

Yep... I am taking full advantage of the week off and incredible weather. :yes: Around 5:00 tonight I headed back to the park I found a Seated dime last night. First target out was an IH and a short while later I was digging my way down to the 1877 dime. :happydance01: Just couldn't believe I...

Oh it felt good to pick up my machine again. :smitten: Last night I headed off to the park to become reacquainted with my detector. Hunted for a couple of hours before sunset and pulled just enough to satisfy. Early this morning I headed off to search for an old church site. No visual...

Went out for a couple of hours this morning to a local park. Targets were sparse... at least the ones I thought worthy of digging :dontknow: , but I was rewarded with some for my pocket. Easy digging here after lots and lots of rain this week... and lots. :shocked04:stretcher: Bombs away...

Went out detecting early this morning with a member who recently joined the forum. joejames called me Monday night asking if I wanted to go detecting the next morning. I've hunted with Joe once before and we had a nice time. Although he only started this hobby a few months ago, he has a very...

Around 6:30 tonight the temperature eased its way down to the upper range of comfortable detecting weather. I decided to take advantage of the situation and headed to the park after dinner tonight. Picked up a few wheats and a quarter. It is my first silver quarter from this park this year...

After a quick trip to Farmer's Market (sweet corn <: ) this morning I resumed my hunt at a site I first stepped on last night. The humidity and absolute lack of any breeze sent me packing after about 90 minutes. :stretcher: More wheats (1920's - 40's) came out very willingly. However the ground...

Got a call late this afternoon regarding a site I was seeking permission to hunt. Received the go ahead and since the site is a few blocks from my house I put in a quick hour test drive after dinner tonight. Ended up talking with someone for a while before I got too it which resulted in only 30...

and number 100th silver coin for the year. :happydance01: Had a productive hunt tonight. Seeing silver again was a welcome sight. I went out with Dave last Friday and it was slim pickins. We both struggled to pocket the few wheats we had. Tonight's hunt went much better. Last year my 100th...

Got out after dinner tonight for a productive hunt. Went back to a site I have been working for the past two weeks. Although more nice ones came out of the ground, I'll probably hold off hunting there again until the ground gets a good soaking. The plugs I dug a week and a half ago are still...

With only 3 hours of hunting in the last 10 days... I was itching for some swing time. Decided to head out of town this morning to a nice, quiet country site before the heat arrived for the day. About twenty minutes into the hunt I was unearthing my second 1857 Half Dime of this season. <: I...

Needed some swing time tonight, so after dinner I headed to an off the beaten path part of the park. Turned out to be worth the effort. :yes: Picked up a couple Mercs, IH's and Wheats. Plus a bonus sterling bracelet. Strangely enough I found an almost identical bracelet last year. One of the...

Did my Sunday night routine... Barbecue for dinner then out for a hunt. :yes: Went back and searched another small section of my new site and pocketed a nice Barber, a few wheats and a key chain harmonica stamped 'Made In Occupied Japan'. I lucked out with another old coin in very nice shape...

Was hunting with Dave today and having another one of those days where I was struggling to find good signals. :confused: Dave was obviously :yes: doing very well in the section he was hunting, but I just couldn't get the ball rolling. So off I went roaming a big open area that seemed like it...
