    two key date barber dimes in one evening

    I went out this afternoon for a couple hour's at that old fairgrounds that treated me so well last year. I'm still amazed at all the Barber dimes it gives up. Tonight I got number 11 and 12 from there and both are key dates. One is a 1897 O and the other is a 1901 S both in pretty good shape...

    fishing for me

    In fact fishing is my number one warm weather fun thing to do, I like it even more than tecting. When my wife goes with me we concentrate on panfish especially chunky bluegills. They're hard fighters for their size and in my opinion the best eating fish on the planet. When we get a drizzly day I...

    I retired today folks

    After a lot of pondering and soul searching I retired today after 28 years with the same company. The last two years for us have been pretty rough and I decided that before we were tossed another curve ball my wife and I would enjoy life a little more. 2 years ago we lost 5 family members in a...

    Got out today for my second to last hunt. Maybe?

    It's Dec. 2 and it got to 51 degrees today. It might make 55 degrees tomorrow. I got out for about three hours and ended up with a few keepers. Got a 1904 and 1905 Indianhead. A few wheats and a silver Roosie. I've never been able to detect in Dec. up here until now and I might even get out...

    A couple firsts for me pics

    Yesterday I got me second seated of the year and it was a 1875 Carson City dime, that's the only CC mint mark coin I have ever found and it's in pretty good shape except for a small ding on the front, dang it. The other first is my one and only shield nickel but it's pretty toasted, at least I...

    I tried a 13" ultimate yesterday and today

    And I'm not too sure what to think. My first impression after using it for just a couple minutes was how light and easy it was to swing. it felt good on the shaft. The next thing was that for me and the way I like to hunt (nice and slow) was that it covered the ground more efficiently, I watched...

    went back to the old fairgrounds and got my 8th barber dime from there this summer

    It's a 1897 and I also got two Indianheads, an 1895 and a 1905. The soil at this place is real sandy and when it's this dry it turns into cement but when its wet it's very soft. Right now it's like cement and I have to be very careful not to ding the coins. I also came across a huge 180 on the...

    first seated of the year and other recent finds

    I got in a 3 hour hunt this morning at the fairgrounds and ended up with my first seated coin of the year. It's a 1886 dime in pretty good condition. I also got a 64 Roosevelt that I knicked a little and a couple of wheats. Theres also a couple of other pictures that are of the last 3 or 4...

    Got some gold yesterday!

    I went back to the park where I got the Barber quarter a few day's ago. I got a 1893 Indianhead and some wheats. But the best find was a solid gold band. It rang in a solid 180 but the tone was substantially lower than any other 180's I've dug. It didn't sound like clad or silver but was too...

    I would like to thank Rick(ND) for his help with my meter

    Thanks Rick for fixing my meter It worked perfectly. Rick is a great example of the fine people on this forum. He offered to fix my meter (a stranger) for no charge. I told him I would like him to look at it but not for free that I would make it right with him and he should send me a bill with...

    a short hunt in the drizzel and cold

    talk about extreme weather we went from upper 90's to mid 50's today. I haven't been out for awhile but went out for a couple hour's in the drizzel. The fairgrounds was busy today so I went to a park a few blocks away that has been hit fairly hard over the years. I don't recall finding too much...

    Hey Ron

    Did you know that horse poop will grow silver dimes? Yup it's true. I was out yesterday and came across a pile of horse apples that was just left at the fairgrounds. I raised the coil up so not to get my coil dirty and right over the top it sounded off. After kicking the poo away and digging a...

    I tried but it's too dang hot

    I went to the old fairgrounds for an hour with the intention of digging only perfect 180 signals. Just to save energy and maybe being able to detect a little longer. But the 100 deg. temp and the 72 deg dew point got the best of me. I dug one signal that turned out to be a small piece of wire...
