Hi Folks, It's been ages since I've posted. Mainly it's due to the fact that I haven't really found anything worth posting. :lol: Anyway, these are the spoils of the last few hunts. The first is a 1935 Buffalo nickel and 2 silver Rosies. (The dimes were in the same hole!) The token and button...

It's been ages since I've posted a find...partly cause I haven't had a good find in a while and partly cause I'm lazy. Anyway, I got out on Monday and braved a bit of rain from Tropical Storm Nate that swept through. It wasn't too bad, just a constant drizzle. Just before calling it quits I...

Hi All, Got out will 'ol Dirt Lizard (From Friendly Forum) the other day and had a nice hunt. It's only been the second hunt for me this year. My best find was this 1902 Barber dime. I thought it was a regular dime cause it was so dark. Imagine my surprise when I saw the One Dime! It's sure...

Hi folks. I haven't posted anything since last summer. I only found two silvers for all of 2015. Not the best year for sure. But I got out yesterday afternoon after getting my oil changed. First hunt for me this year. So I stopped by a spot I'd only been to once before. Found a Merc there...

There's nothing better than hunting for hours and then getting down to the wire and finding the shiny before heading home. That was my hunt today. With just minutes until I had to head home, I was able to find the Barber dime (1912-D) and the Buff. That was after almost 6 hours of nothing...

But what a silver!! Hi everybody! It's been a while for me to get something good up on the forums. I can count on one hand how many times I've been out to hunt since January. The hunts I did were pretty crappy. But the other day I hit a big park that's been pounded for years by...

Hi Folks, It's probably a long shot but I figure I'll just throw it out here for you to check out. I found three coins (about the size of a quarter) a while back in a known Colonial era spot. The Draped Bust penny is with them for size comparison. Any ideas? I'm leaning towards British...

Hi folks! It's been a heck of a long time since I've posted any finds... mainly because they were not worth posting and just life in general. But I think this find is pretty cool and worth sharing. I got out today for an hour hunt between errands and wasn't finding much of anything. But this...

First, here are some photos of the silver I've found in several hunts late in the year. The foreign coin turned out to be aluminum. Anyway, I've been busy and haven't had time to do the post earlier. Now, hunting is on hold for a while due to the cold and a snow storm coming this week. In my...

Hi folks. Hope everyone is well out there. I got out today for a nice hunt. The pressure was off after finding a silver Rosie after only ten minutes. Yay! :happydance01: Now, I could relax and hunt without frustration. After a long while I hit what I thought was a wheatie. It rang up 82-83...

Hi all! It's been a while since I've posted. Anyway, I got out today for an afternoon hunt. First I found the old Fire Department button. It has Waterbury on the back. Then I found a bent Wheat penny (can't read the date though). I hunted for a while and wasn't finding anything. I was getting...

This find was from late July actually. I only hunted in August once (found 9 wheats, no shiny crying01 ). Just too hot, too buggy, and too busy! lol Anyways, this find sat in my pouch and since I'm off all this week, I finally had some time to pull it out and clean it up. It was pretty...

Well, I may be jinxing myself by posting, but what the hay! lol The past four hunts have netted me some silver each time out, including my first Kennedy silver half. :wow: I've also found a fatty Indian Head penny (unknown date) and a few wheats too. The Rosie and Washington were found in the...

Here's today's exciting finds. I went searching for a cellar hole in a town I used to live in that I heard about but didn't know exactly where except for a general vicinity sort of thing. I bopped around for almost two hours just walking and swinging in the beautiful woods. Nothing of note...

Hi folks! Well, I've been lazy getting my finds up on the forum, so there is this one from the end of April and another post is from today's hunt. This hunt was a second visit to the area I found my first Seated dime at. Well, after searching high and low, I was ecstatic to find another Seated...

Howdy folks! It's been a long time since I've done a post. I can count on one hand how many hunts I've been on since the big blizzard that hit us in February. Weather wasn't very conducive for detecting for a while either. I also had some detector issues and finally have been able to upgrade my...

Hi all! Hope everyone is having a great new year so far. I haven't got out much since the start of the new year, but the few times I did have been productive. I found my first silver of the year a couple of weeks ago. Just didn't get around to post it. No biggie. It is a 1940 Merc. On Sunday I...

a V nickel! :shocked04: Only my third one so far. Cool! Got out today even though we were pounded by a snowstorm on Saturday. I was determined to get one more silver for my 2012 count but alas twas not to be. But I did manage to find a 1920 wheatie, a junk jewelry piece, and an 1893 V nickel...

I got out this morning for my usual extended hunt. After about three hours I had nothing but trash and a stinkin Lincoln penny spill. You know the kind: like 20 pennies sounding off in a one foot area. It takes away from finding the good stuff ya know? >:{ Anyway, I was on my way out and was...

I got out this AM for a hunt with Dirt Lizard (From the Friendly Forum) and we hit our favorite haunt. I wasn't an hour in to my hunt when I came across the first coin you see, an 1867 2 Cent piece! :omg: At first it was SO covered in crud I wasn't sure what I had. After a light rub I could see...
