Hello guys & gals. Wow, it's been a while. Got to try to figure this all out again. Been down with a bad knee. Dr. wanted to do a replacement. But aid I wouldn't be able to police anymore. I got to try to make it at least three more years till I can get on medicare. So he scoped it instead, to...

Hello Folks! WOW! Is it good to be back swinging. First time out today after a couple of months. Didnt find a whole lot but felt good to be out. I was skipping over most everything that I knew was clad or pennies. Was looking for that first piece of silver after a looooong hot summer of grass...

Wow, I have been so blessed with some great first this year. I hate to mention them for fear of jinxing myself. I guess they will end sooner or later. Went to a different school yesterday. Managed to get some clad and these two barely Silvers. A 1964 Rosie, and my first Silver Kennedy Half. A...

Hi folks. Went in late for work yesterday so I could hunt a small yard I had got permission for. Still muddy after all the rain we have had. Found some clad, a 1956-D Rosie, 1960-D Rosie and a 1943-S War Nickel. I'm happy with it. HH all...

It finally stopped raining about noon today. Went to a property I had permission to hunt. Wasn't expecting much, and I wasn't disapointed. Mainly wanted to try out the new camera. I think with some practice, it will do. Found some mem's and clad. Found three wheats all within two feet of each...

Hi guys and gals, I need a little help here. I think I need a new camera. I have been using a Cannon PowerShot A1000. Have had it about 5 years. For some reason, the batteries won't last anymore. I can put new ones in, take about 6 pictures and then have to replace them. I can put new ones in...

Man, has this been a year for first. Everyone seems to be scoring. I found my first 1800 coin, and my first Barber quarter. And now this. I found this 1964 Rosie this last Monday morning about 1:00 AM. Was at work and took my usual 30 lunch at my favorite spot. Found a couple of clad and the...

Hi folks. Several have mentioned the jar. Last year I started putting all the silver coins I found in a small jar to see if I could fill it up in a year. Of course that didn't happen. So I started putting the coins in an albumn. Coins of an identical date now go into the jar. Unless of course...

Well it was a dreary day here in Mississippi. Cloudy with a fine mist. I was off from the PD and it was too wet to cut grass, so off to the park I go. Managed one 1945 Merc and some clad. Happy hunting all.[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3][attachimg=4][attachimg=5][attachimg=6]

Well I took my 30 min lunch break this morn. about 1:00 AM. Went to the old stand by. Got out of the car, took about two steps and hit a solid 80 at 6. Very first target, a very worn, no date, SLQ. But hey, I'll take it. Finally got my 25th silver coin out of this site and the 17th for the year...

Well I'm back on night shift again. Went to my favorite spot for my 30 min lunch about 2:00 this morning. This place has given up 24 silvers since I started to hunt it. Was hopeing for number 25 tonight. Was not meant to be. Only found a few clad. Did manage to find a 925 Silver ring. Looks like...

Got permission to hunt an old house today. According to the owner it was built in the late 1800's by her family. She told me that over the years it had been moved around three times, on the same property, by block and tackle. [attachimg=1] There had been several out buildings that had been torn...

Went back to the park today where I found the Barber quarter this weekend. This is a public park. I go here when I have no other place to hunt at the time. I wish I could find out what this area was before it was a park. I have dug close to 2 dozen bullets from this area. Everything from 22 to...

Got a chance to get out and hunt a little this afternoon. I went back to the park where I found the last Silver Dollar at the end of the year. Found two wheats, 1917 and the other I can't make out. Junk jewelery and some bullets. Then got a real iffy signal at 9 inches. Very sandy soil. This is...

Got permission to hunt an old burnt shotgun house. Actually a very small yard. I found the 49-S rosie in the front yard on Monday. Went back Tuesday afternoon and found these. As I was working the back yard and elderly gentlman next door started telling me the history of the place. He told me...
