    Worn out mystery coin

    I suspect this to be Mexican, but who knows. If you can ID it for me I'd be grateful, thanks.

    Huge train ball bearing ?

    The city has been dredging part of an old creek bed here lately. I have found a decent bottle or two, most broken, and unfortunately zero coins so far. The pic shows some of the what not's that have come under the coil. This is the most massive iron bearing that I've ever dug. There is a one in...

    My latest wanderings

    This northern field gave up quite a few coins in the past. And I guess that it still has a few more to give.

    I earned this little silver

    This was two hours of working any choppy, tiny, repetitive mouse fart hint of a high tone, with phones turned up. The patch of brush has been spanked hard for decades and I did every trick you folks taught me. I was one bar below max because max gave too many occasional squeaks, I ground...

    Burnt down house

    I got permissioned to check the yard of a burnt down turn of the century house. I only keep what I find interesting and the huge John Deere ''coin'' was interesting. It was knurled around the outer edge exactly like a coin. Boy the strange things you can find out there. The hatchet, I am told...

    Slim pickins

    I haven't found much in the last month or so, but I did find a few keepers. I was surprised by a super crisp five cent piece in front of some 40's\50's houses. Maybe there was an older residence their previously. The black Tungsten ring was a fun find.

    Colander clean out time again

    It seems that I dig a lot of junk for very few neat finds. But hey, it just makes the good stuff sweeter I suppose. :detecting: I was delighted with my third I.H. (1885) of this year, the ATP sure seems to love them, as I have only ever found five in total. I was also quite happy to find another...

    question on posting video

    I have had this camera for years and never taped anything. So I got the warden to show me how yesterday and I fiddled around a bit. What is the best way to post it from a remote host like Photobucket or Youtube etc. I have never done this before. Thanks.

    confession and apology

    I just want to apologize to any local detectorists, or the wider group, for some of my actions. I have used my Predator Raven shovel in a few parks a handful of times. I can probably count the times on one hand. I know and knew previously that this was a poor practice in regard to hobby public...

    The ones that got away

    I have to admit that I've been quite fortunate and had good luck on many sites for permission. But now and then I drive by and see work being filled in or finished and kind of regret that I didn't see it earlier. Or this happens.... I drove past a school that had its yard all ripped up and the...

    Buff nickel sound and numbers ?

    I have only ever found 4 I.H. pennies with 2 of them being this year. One of my desires is to find a buff nickel, that would be so sweet ! I am admittedly lame in regard to nickels with the ATP so any tips on what a buff sounds and numbers at, more or less, is appreciated. I don't want to bypass...

    Took a stroll through an old park today

    I had some luck in an old park today. Sorry about the poor pics, I'm lousy with a camera. Maybe I'll try the wife's next time.

    I still don't understand mineralization numbers

    Maybe I'm dense, but it still hasn't come together for me in regard to mineralization. I am considering the 9x12 concentric for a favoured field, when crops allow. I remember ground balancing generally at around 84 in that field. Is this considered moderate or heavy mineralization ? I am...

    Attention K-Mart shoppers !

    Why it's colander clean out time once again ! Let's see what we have between all the corroding crapulent clad coppers. Looks like an 06 and 19 large cent, a couple of silver quarters, a 925 chain bracelet, more junk rings etc. This is the largest worked shell button that I have ever found.

    soil types and associated issues

    I don't claim to be the sharpest tack in the box, so I have a question for you folks. Is it my imagination or do detectors quickly lose depth in dense clay soil ?

    My colander o' crapulance

    It was time to see what nuggets I could find in the gravel bed of my cleaning colander. Not a whole lot of keepers, but it was definitely a whole lot of fun to be out there. :detecting:

    A few fur trade relics

    I will expand on this tomorrow, just got in, too tired tonight.

    Saturdays scratchins

    Poked around an older school on Saturday. Silver quarter and 1919 wheat were fun finds. Wheatie is so worn that I had to use a loupe to get the date off of it.

    Cool bottle

    I swung some tired old spots again today and got nothing but a bit of clad. I did notice however that part of a bottle was sticking out of the creek bank. I carefully cleared around it and this old girl fell into my hand. I was really happy that it was completely intact, which is not the case...

    Walmart ''Great value'' alkalines

    I was cruising around Wally world today and came a cross a 48 pack of alkalines for ten bucks ! I always run Duracells or Ever ready's but I had to check these out for the price and quantity. Apparently they are a Walmart in house brand. Has anyone tried these things ? Here's a blurb from their...
