I have to start by saying how this started. One day I was heading to the Goodwill store and I thought that I was being followed. Turns out I was! This guy saw the Minelab sticker on my bumper and he was a detectorist also. We talked for awhile and he mentioned hunting at the local fairgrounds...

Hit the fairgrounds yesterday and again today. Yesterday I got $1.07 in clad and a 53 wheat. Today I got $.51 and a spill of a 45 wheat and a 46 rosie.

I've been slacking off on my detecting duties for awhile. Trying to get things done around the house that I put off. Now I'm getting back out there. Hit the old fairgrounds 4 times in February. Came out with $4.36 in clad and 5 wheats. The 5th time out was waaaaaaay better! Only $1.41 in change...

When I want to make a pattern for my CTX or E-Trac I get together the coins and things that I want to include in the pattern. Then I take a piece of Saran wrap and wrap it around the screen. Then as you scan them in the yard you can mark the area they appear with a sharpie. Then build your...

I hit the same park as my first hunt this year. First hunt got me $2.48 a 55 wheat and a 1 yen coin. My first dig of this hunt got me a 36-S merc. :grin: Also got $3.68 a small bag full of some kind of herbs. And a small 10k ring with a teenie tiny diamond.:lol: Good luck, Happy hunting

I got a good deal of clad this year but not much as far as rings or old coins. No gold.:crying01: Good luck to everyone in 2017!:grin: The 1917 walker and the 1876-S quarter along with 1 of the I.H.'s and three of the buffys all came from a parking lot tear out in town. The cash in the last...

Headed out to the woods at Frances park in Lansing. My first dig was a 1964 Washington. Also got a small sterling ring for my first 925 of 2016. Ended with .03 in clad and a 41 wheat.

Was this past January. The first time I found a metal case with something in it. Coins inside were 1914 Lincoln 1874 I.H. 1893 I.H. 1908 "V" and 1894-S quarter.

MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY HOLIDAYS HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!:angelic:

I recently bought a ground shark shovel for digging in the woods. Today i took it out and used it. I got a really nice sound and had to crank on it to get through the (still) frozen ground in the woods. Unfortunatly it gouged up the 1919-D walker that was in the hole (full of water) I had dug...

My best for 2014 are the first silver I found for 2014. 1876 seated quarter with great details. And 14kt gold mens band with diamonds from the lake. Local jeweler said would retail at $1,600. Sorry I mostly hang out at a site for detectorists from Michigan. But I still love to see the goodies...

For those who live in cold snowy states there is a place to hunt that can pay off quite nicely. THE WOODS! I have been out several times this year in the woods in an old park near the fairgrounds. My first time out I got 4 wheat pennies and an 1834 L.C. On the 17th I found something that made...

Today i got a first for me. I have been hunting the fair grounds that i already covered with my DFX,V3i and E-Trac. The CTX3030 seems to be doing well for me as i'm also going slower. Today i got only .37 in clad but i also got my 30th silver (tying last year) a 1943 walker. I also got...

Hit a played out park today. Slow moving CTX got 2 rosies and 6 wheats.

But I did manage to find the silver ring that went with yesterdays rosie! While I was cleaning the dirt out of it over the sink I popped out one of the side stones. >:/ It's down the drain! Also a cheap aluminum ring. I also found out that the CTX3030 finds nickels like the e-trac does. But mine...

Hit the same park I got the rosie and ring yesterday. No ring today, but I did manage another rosie. A 1954-D a weeble dog $4.22 in clad and a piece of copper tubing. (not pictured) GL/HH

Today I hit two parks. The first was an old one that gave me my first V nickel, shield nickel, two center, seated dime (3) and I.H. I must have cleaned it out last year because today all I got was 6 pennies (one a 1944) and a nickel from the parking lot stones as I was leaving. The second park...

Well, sort of. Today the CTX hit on a barber dime that was only about 2 down next to a big tree. (barber = shave) :grin: Also got 2 wheats a 1942-D and a mystery green wheat. Also a large heavy brass ring. The 1910 barber is only my third barber coin since I started. I got two dimes and one...

Well, Leslie sad news today. Cote de Pablo (ziva) on NCIS will not be back for season 11. If you have the dvd's of the last 8 seasons you can still see her beating up the bad guys. But there won't be any new whippin's handed out after this season. Oh well, at least we still have our...

Today i hit a park that i got a silver ring from on the 30th. One of my first finds was a worn merc. Without my glasses i couldn't tell the date but i hoped it was a 1916-D. It turned out to be a 1916 no &quot:grin:. crying01 I also hit a 1930 merc. I wasn't sure if this park was old or not. Now...
