    Screen glare in sunlight

    Anyone have a good way to prevent screen glare in direct sun? I find it very difficult at times to read the screen and it sure would help. Thanks.

    Gold Coin!

    I don't post much here although I've made some nice finds this year including a 1786 Vermont landscape copper, CT coppers, a number of KG I and II's etc. I thought this was worth posting. I was detecting at a "hunted out" park a couple of weeks ago and not finding much. Over the last year I've...

    Incredible Victorian Silver Match Safe - Best silver find in 35 years

    I went to check out a new spot yesterday and came up with what I think is my finest silver find in 35 years of detecting. Yes, I did find a sterling knee buckle last year that is more historically significant, but not nearly as beautiful as this piece. I was hunting a pounded school yard looking...

    Old silver

    Got a call from a buddy who got permission to hunt some private property. House was built in 1786 so hopes were high. Property was sold a few years ago for $7,650,000. Evidently a lot of the yard has been moved around and we didn't find much in the areas we were detecting, but I did come up with...

    1782 One Real & 1888 Seated Dime

    I decided to go look for a spot for a second fall hunt for my metal detector club PWMDC . I started looking through tax records I have access to for homes built prior to 1850 to zero in on a general location. Then I looked up farms in the area as well as looking at online maps and aerials. Came...

    7 Silver Day

    Nothing special in the finds, but always nice to have a multiple silver day. Also found 19 wheats which I'd rather not even dig, but they let me know I'm in the right spot. Hunting buddies found 6 Mercs, Barber dime, Barber Quarter and silver Washington. 16 Pieces of silver for the day isn't bad...

    1786 New Jersey copper, Connecticut and a couple of buttons

    Went back to the spot that has produced so much copper and the number is now up to 62 after yesterday. Picked up a decent NJ for a ground find, a 1786 Maris 16-L. Although I'm not 100%, I believe the other copper is a toasted CT. The most prominent detail left is the word LIB. This would be part...

    Large Cent from hammered spot in the woods

    My coil stopped working the other day. I was talking with Don and Carol, members of my club and they both have CTX's also and they had 2 17" loops. They said they rarely use both of them and might want to sell one and offered to let me try it out. I picked it up and decided to give it a try...

    Pocket Dump w/Standing Lib, Merc & Buffalo. Excelsior button help

    Got permission to hunt a home site where the home was built in 1780. I was advised owner was a hoarder. Got there and realized it wasn't going to be good. They had taken 10 dumpsters worth of trash out of the yard. Did give it some effort to weed through the trash signals which were everywhere...

    2 Cent Piece and early Indian

    Last year I found a spot of woods of about 2 acres that has just produced an amazing assortment of coins including a Seated Half-VF, 2 Seated Quarters VF & XF, 6 large cents including 3 draped busts, 12 Indians, 2 Barber Quarters, Barber Dime, 1891 Canadian Dime, half real, V Nickel, Buffalos, a...

    Large Cent #15

    Went out detecting for a little while this morning before the heat set in. First coin I pulled, 1819 large cent. Turns out it was the only coin I found. It's a bit toasted, but it is #15 for the year. I've hunted this area a lot, but as I've already pulled up 5 large cents prior as well as a...

    Quarter Trifecta - Barber, SLQ & Washington

    Hit the quarter trifecta yesterday. SLQ and Washington came out of the same hole. If you look at the reverses you can see where they were sitting on top of each other. I had hunted this place a number of times of the last few weeks and came up with some good finds including 1746 George II, 1838...

    Large Cents, Indians, silver and more

    Hit a few spots and came up with some goodies. The Indians all came from one park, the two 1883's were stuck together and that's why they're in pretty good shape. The 1842 LC and 1914 British penny came from a site where the house was built in 1742. The crotal bells and foreign coin also came...

    Stacked Indians

    When out to a popular park yesterday. This park is difficult to work as there are way too many coins, clad and memorial cents that is. There are also a lot of old coins in this park, but they are deep so it's a pain trying to determine how much of the new stuff you don't dig. Generally I don't...

    Large Cent, Indians, Barber, buckles and more.

    Found a new spot in the woods not far from one I had great success at last year. Not a lot of coins to be found, but what I pull up seems to be what I'm looking for. Although the LC is kind of toasted, it's a 1798. I always like finding coins with a 17 at the front of the date. The silver ring...
