    Legend finds its first gold

    Finally broke the gold drought yesterday with the Legend, park mode, G disc, 22 sensitivity, 20 vdi. I was searching a sports field, pendant was down about 3 inches. First gold for me in 2 years with any detector. Found the buffalo nickel a few hunts back, nice clear date, nice detail...

    Treasure is where you find it.

    I took the F70 to a park yesterday, weather was nice, sunny and warm for this time of year. Over a couple of hours I dug $5.04 in clad. Included in that total was my first dollar coin for the year, a presidential dollar. Also got an earring, the post is marked 925, diamond is very shiny...

    A review of 2023

    In 2023 I found several pieces of 925 jewelry, a few were marked Sterling. I am still in a gold drought, no gold for 2022 or 2023, I hope to change that this year. Only one silver coin, ‘47 Rosie, a 1906 V nickel. One Ike dollar, five dollar coins ( 4 sacajawea ) three clad halves. A pair of...

    Silver cross

    Took the Legend to a middle school that i have searched quite a lot in the past. I was using the large stock coil, park mode, G tab, m3 frequency, 22 sensitivity. I found several Jeff nickels that i probably walked over with other detectors. The Legend seems to be deadly on the nickels. I...

    Silver ring with the AtPro

    Got out to a soccer field for a hunt with the At Pro. Found $2.77 clad and a 925 ring. Pro zero, no disc, 2 bars down from max sensitivity, stock coil. Ring gave a solid 83 vdi, no fluctuating, down a couple of inches. GL&HH!

    Bling, bling, bling, then silver ring!

    It was a nice fall day so I got out to an elementary school that I hadn’t visited for quite some time. Started the hunt by checking the bark mulch under and around the playground equipment. I was finding a few coins and then started hitting some bling, the cross, butterfly ring and the other...

    Park silver

    Took the Legend to a couple of parks a few days ago. Found a 925 necklace with a locket, the hinged type that you can put a picture in. It gave a nice 44-45-46 signal on the Legend. Also found a double knot ring (bling), and a little over 3 dollars clad which included a canadian quarter and a...

    Slim pickens, but got silver ring

    I hunted a small park with the At Pro, good targets were far and few between. I did manage a 925 ring which gave a great tone and registered a 86-87 on the At. Thought I was digging a quarter based on those numbers, but down about 2 inches was this ring instead. Marked 925 PSA, tried to...

    What would you have done?

    A while back, I was searching a middle school and while doing a grid in a grassy area next to a basketball court I moved a hooded jacket with my foot to get it out of my way. The jacket was soaked from the sprinkler and it felt heavy. I picked it up and checked the pockets. There was a wallet...

    First silver coin of the year and a little more.

    Got a ‘47 Rosie from a house lot where the house is going to be torn down. Snuggled the AtPro with the 11” coil up close to a wrought iron fence and got a good signal. Down about 5” in the leaf mold, first silver coin of the year. Was using the AtPro because it was raining. The other finds...

    Old man winter is releasing his hold so I have got out for a few dirt hunts with the F70. 925 spinner ring was found at a high school just under skiff of snow, claddagh ring at another high school down an inch. BiCenntenial half, v nickel, padlock charm and tungsten ring were found at a soccer...

    Dollar coin times two today

    It was a nice sunny day so I got out for a water hunt, hoping to find some jewelry and/or old coins. I found neither, but did find two dollar coins. First stop was at the river, I got a mid to upper nineties vdi on the At Pro. Missed it on the first scoop which caused the silt to obscure my...

    A bonus to go with the clad

    Just more clad coins today and a couple junker rings. Started out with the F70, but noticed some dark rain clouds moving in quick, so I switched it out for the AT PRO for the waterproofness. Found the ten dollar bill while searching along a fence line at a little league ballpark. So, does...

    Nothing but clad but i still had fun

    I went metal detecting to a high school that has been very good for large amounts of clad in the past. This school has also given me 3 gold rings and a few silver rings. Usually it is only clad. I don’t hunt it too often so the clad has time to accumulate. In most areas, the grass is thick...

    First silver Washington in quite some time

    The other day I noticed that a house was being torn down and the lot was getting scraped. There was still equipment on the lot and part of the house was still standing. I told myself that I needed to keep an eye on it and search it when I could. I didn’t get back as soon as I should and some...

    back up plan paid off

    Yesterday I drove to a freshwater beach an hour away. This beach is small but can be productive if I am the first one to search it when summer is over. That doesn’t always happen so I needed a backup plan in case someone had already ransacked the beach. Which is what transpired, the beach had...

    Interesting comparison: durability of clad coins vs. 90% silver

    Last Friday I drove to a fresh water lake to search a boat launch/swimming area. This particular lake has some brackish water, kind of marsh like in certain areas. I think the mineral content might be high as some of the clad comes out with corrosion, some kind of a crusty dried powder look...

    3rd clad half found in last 2 weeks

    Got out yesterday to the park where I found the last clad half on Sept. 1. I was using the F70 again and got my coil over another clad half, vdi 88, down 3 inches. It came out very reddish in color, it’s ‘93 or ‘98, have to tumble it to find out. Found a little over $5 in clad and a couple of...

    Assortment of U.S. one dollar coins found in 2022

    While tumbling some coins yesterday, I saw that I had found three varieties of US one dollar coins this year. I saw that I was missing a Sacajawea one dollar coin. Today while on my way to the credit union to cash in some clad, I stopped at a basketball/tennis court/ picnic area and did some...
