Went out today, to see what goodies I could find. I didn't break any silver coin records today, but I kinda got one? It's the size of a dime-really thin--- and sounds like silver against the counter-so it must be silver? The next item I found is a whatsit ---I have it next to the so -called dime, for size comparison any body know what this is? It's pretty ornate --I like it Next I found a button that says U.S. Indian Service on it--never found one of these before! Any one else ever dig one of these?? I found a trade token today From Henry's Billiard Parlor- from-Parker Arizona GF 12-1/2 cents. This one shows some corrosion -but is minor compared to the other aluminum tokens I have dug. Had a good day--tomorrow back to work!!!! Thanks for lookin and listening and good luck out there!!!

Went out yesterday, and tried a new spot. It looked like a good spot, glass shards every where --real trashy lookin --screw caps were even sproutin out of the ground--perfect !! Started digging up some misc. junk as usual--including some screwcaps, that hadn't sprouted yet I probally was there about an hour when I got a jumpy signal that sounded good it was jumpin around 37-38-39 on my Safari--well let's see what it is I dug down about 4 inches and loosened up the dirt, as I was scoopin the dirt out I saw the edge of something round I grabbed it, and I had found, my first walking liberty half:clapping:. Been detecting 3 yrs now and I finally found one!!! the next item found was the bell shaped relic that says --Good Roads-- on it. I dug 3 buckles-- a lipstick tube and a a key. I dug up a small jewelry item missing some stones but pretty neat. I dug A TOTAL of 27 wheats today, and only 16c in modern coins--not a good spot if your lookin for clad!! But a good spot if your lookin for silver and screwcaps!! Today, after I dug the walker, the silver just kept poppin outta the ground.:clapping: I ended the day with 11 silver coins:beers: When I got home and was lookin at all my stuff- I had one coin about the size of a nickel, that was all black and totally encrusted--you couldn't see and details on it at all!! I was thinkin it was maybe a token -because I had nickels disked out. So before bed, I threw it in some vinegar, and let it soak over night. When I got up I pulled the mystery coin out and gave it a rinse. It was a-- nickel???? I grabbed a magnifying glass and gave it a closer look --yup a nickel ??? I then turned it over and looked at the reverse side --yup a nickel ---I started to set it down and I suddenly realized it wasn't your average Jefferson nickel------ there was an S mintmark above the building:clapping: with this I now had 12 silver coins:beers: Last pic is my biggest trash pile ever from about 9 hrs digging! Thanks for lookin and listening and good luck to all!!!

When things get slow, I like to review past finds that my Safari has found for me such as the ones I posted here. I am constantly amazed at it's performance and reliability in so many lousy conditions. Heat....cold......sandy....muddy....humid...I have rental property in Illinois and it can get mighty humid out there!!!! And yes, I have found some great items there as well. It has never let me down and performs just like the day I bought it! I have other detectors but my Safari is definitely my go-2 one!

This time I hope to find those ancient old silver AND GOLD coins:clapping:!!!
I will be based in the 'Midlands' between Coventry, Leicester, Melton Mowbray and Nottingham general areas. Do any of the Brits that metal detect in those areas have any suggestions as far as good productive areas that are open or I could get permission to detect? Any help and suggestions on areas and settings will be appreciated. I have to reset everything including my brain! to get used to the different coins etc; that they have there!
