    Found A 1829 Capped Bust Dime

    A few weeks ago I stopped to check out an old 1850's Church on my way home from an out of town trip. I wanted to get a feel for the place and return for a hunt in the near future. I could see there was very little under brush in the woods so I could use a bigger coil - I decided that I when I...

    Found A Few Old Coins & Relics

    Broke out the winter hunting gear - put new batteries in the flashlights and ground a real sharp point on the Lesche digger to help cut through the frozen ground. Here's a few finds from the last few hunts in the snow. Found the 1919 Mercury dime and the old buckle in a field next to a town...

    Here are some finds from my last few hunts. These coins and relics were found at a few different 1800's houses, at an old church and along some old sections of sidewalks.

    Found Silver - Indians - Buffalo & Foreign Coins

    Here's some coins and relics I found during several hunts over the last few weeks. These finds were made at two old abandoned farm houses - a 1800's cellar hole in the woods, in the back of an old town park and along a few sections of very old sidewalk. HH --- Mark

    1800's Coins From Old Church Site

    I went back to the site where the old church stood from the 1850's till the 1920's. This location is literally loaded with iron ( an average of 5 to 10 rusty nails and other junk per hole) and very overgrown - so I used the 6" Excellerator Coil - hunted in Two Tone Ferrous and swung very - very...

    Found Gold Jewelry & Coins At A Swim Club

    I did my annual trip to a swim club near a friend of ours house in Pennsylvania last weekend. This swim club has a sand bottom and it's drained at the end of every season. I hunted on the sand, around the snack bar and the picnic areas for approx. 7 hrs. Ended up finding four rings, some ear...

    1800's Coins & Jewelry And More Kennedy Halfs

    Yesterday, I went back to the old Church site where I found the 1837 Capped Half Dime a few weeks ago. This Church was built in the 1860's and was torn down in the1930's. This time I hunted in the woods instead of on the lawn. Found (a semi key date) 1872 - 1881 and 1889 Indian Cents. All...

    Found Some 1800's Coins And A Skeleton Key

    Yesterday, I went back to the site of the old church where I found the 1837 Capped Bust Half Dime and four 1800's dated Indian Cents two weeks ago. As usual - it was raining but I've wanted to get back to this site and hunt it low and slow ever since I found the other old coins - and today was...

    1837 - Capped Bust Half Dime & Other Finds - :detecting:

    I decided to go back and hunt an old church site that I had hunted last year. From what I could find out - this church was built in the 1840's and was torn down in the 1920's. There's tons of nails and other junk metal - so it's a pretty tough area to hunt. I only found one 1920 Wheat Cent...

    I've been getting out of work at 6:00 AM for the last month or so - to early to go home - I'd wake everyone up. So ... most days I go on a short hunt before I go home - usually about a one hour hunt - a little longer if I find anything any good. The other day I went to a vacant lot where an...

    Large Cent - Trade Tokens & Crotal Bell

    I've been working some really weird hours at my job the last few weeks - been going in at 8:00 PM and getting out at 4:30 AM. What the heck can you do at 4:30 in the morning ???
