    5 Silver Day

    Took off this morning for an 80 mile trip (each way) to a spot in a very old little town that I thought held great potential. It was junk city. They must have spread the contents of an old burned house across the whole area. All I found was clad. Star found clad, a pocket watch, and an old...

    I finally had a chance to get out this morning and walk a field for a couple hours. I only found 2 one cent coins but I'm still happy with them. One was a 53 and the other was a 63.

    Tot Lot Bonanza

    Star and I went to a local grade school Sunday to try our luck. The school dates back to 1877. I've hunted it for 40 years and still usually come home with at least a few wheat cents. You could see dig marks all over the school yard from at least two people. One was using a screwdriver and one...

    I Think I've Found A New Treasure Hunting Hobby

    About 30 years ago an old man was telling me that there was gold in the creeks around Central Illinois. His stories were interesting but I shrugged them off as tall tales until I recently did a little research on gold in Illinois. It seems that the glaciers brought down gold and even rubies...

    Some Recent Finds But Not With A Metal Detector
