Thought it was a dirty old can because it behaved the same way. Big, loud, pretty deep but the square shape got me curious so I started to rub on it before I threw it in my trash bag and I saw writing etched into in a strange, art nouveau old style font. After cleaning it I find a thick...

This is a long one but I hope you will be entertained if you care to read this novel. There are so many great things about this coin and this hunt to tell you I don't know where to start. It is my first seated ever, and I have never found a Barber anything yet so I skipped right over that one...

I had a great day yesterday! Found a small spot in a big old park that I didn't think had much and I suspect all the other hunters that came to this park over the last 60 years thought the same. We were all wrong. Just a small time spent in this area, I got too excited after digging the gold...

This is way cool and pretty rare, I have found a few other posts about these things but the sterling types are rarely found. A Masonic replica shekel coin given to members when they advance to different levels in the organization. The more common ONE PENNY coins are used and more popular...

Went hunting this morning at one park, played around with some settings, found clad, got tired and came home. Rested up a bit and watched Prospectors on the weather channel then the wife comes in, steals all the remotes, switches over to Roku and finds some stupid British Hammer film horror pic...

Been an eventful year for me with some highs and lows. The highs were a bunch of great jewelry and coins and other great things like a surprise Dragoon cuff button while living in Kansas up till the end of June, then on the day we were scheduled to leave that state and move to Alabama I had an...

Happy New Year, everyone! Yesterday I went up into the woods again looking for more silver coins, the only place that isn't frozen over, but I only found a couple of 60's nickels and a whole bunch of aluminum foil from campers going back into the 20's. I also did get a nice high tone kinda...

I try to be a good guy, help anyone I can and be nice to all, but only Karma or maybe a higher power can explain the year I had. $6.20 away from $400 in clad and all this on top of it. The F2 and sniper found the bulk of it, the Compadre, Vaquero and my Compass all had a taste. Even my new...

I found 3 gold targets by March so I set a crazy pie in the sky goal to find 12 total by the end of the year. Never thought I would do it but by December 3rd I had found 11. That day I was at a park and just before the real bad cold an snowy weather was due to roll in I found # 12. I can't tell...

Hey guys. I am a jewelry hunter, mostly, but even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in awhile. These are my best coins I came across in 2013. I now have a new F70 so the goal for 2014 is many more older and better coins and much more silver. I found a merk that looked like someone got it...

I like digging big silver pieces of jewelry. The bigger the better. 12.5 grams, almost 2.5 inches in length..Big shiny and beautiful. I am showing next to my recently dug Franklin so you can get an idea of the size. I was tied 6 pieces of gold jewelry to 6 pieces of silver jewelry for this...

Went to a park I have been hunting lately on Tuesday, I know this is an older park and at one time long ago had a upper end country club located on this site. There is a big lake right in the middle of this park and I was told the club used to be located on the south side so I have been...

F2, sniper coil, another basketball court I hunted before with a larger coil but missed this. 11.7 grams...thick and beautiful! That makes 2 huge silver and 3 gold rings in the last 21 days. The 2013 great bling streak continues!

Haven't had much time to dig this week, last night after dinner the wife says go hunting and maybe you will stop that nervous twitching. I head over to a large Jr. college in my neighborhood that is my go-to site when I don't want to drive far. I have been all over this place and I wasn't really...

3 days ago I found an old park and I found a honker of a silver ring next to one of my favorite areas to hunt...a basketball court. http://www.americandetectorist.com/forum/index.php?topic=13349.0 Man is there trash at this 90 year old park, even more around this basketball site. I have found...

I have found some gold so far this year, some silver necklaces and a couple of other pieces of silver, too, but I am way behind on my silver ring finds so far this year. Not one. That changed yesterday when I found a great small but very old park that had a large basketball court, which is my...

Found this last week, a total surprise since I was at a park just looking for jewelry. This park is not really old, but the land was a farm for a long time like most areas around here. There is a big mound next to a picnic pavilion I was walking by heading to a soccer field and I was swinging...

Not very big at all, marked 925. I thought it was a piece of can slaw or a twisted tab at first till the dirt fell away. Hmmm...Tabs don't usually have fake diamonds mounted on them I thought. It cleaned up nice, the wife already claimed it because it is just her style. Nothing can hide from...

Found this last Friday when it got nice and up to about 80 degrees. Now it got cold again and we are expecting a lot more snow so I am down in the dumps. Will winter never end? I will post this to relive past glories and in an effort to get me through till the real spring shows up. This was at...

Did not have a good time yesterday morning climbing up an 850' mountain looking for old silver. Others in my MD club have been up there and found some old stuff, so I climbed up there looking for my share. I eneded up finding nothing but 2 pull tabs, my detector and coil was a poor choice...
