    Todays Lonely Find

    Went on a field hunt for about an hour this afternoon. Found a crusty trade token and a few pieces of can slaw. This section of field has a carpet of nails. There were 2 in the hole with the token. The token is just a bit smaller than a half dollar and reads "GOOD FOR 50 cents IN TRADE" on one...

    Hunted A Private Yard Today

    Only had about an hour and a half to hunt this afternoon but got permission to do a private yard. Got to hunt only a small portion of the yard but the owner said I can come back anytime. I didn't do too bad. 54 cents in clad, 2 swimming pool play coins, part of a sterling bracelet, and 8 coins...

    You Know Its Been A Good Hunt When

    you find seven coins and the newest one is dated 1928. Went back for about an hour to the log cabin site where I found the Canadian half cent earlier today and found 3 more indian cents, 1 lincoln cent, and half of a heart shaped pendent. Total for the day is 4 indians, 2 lincolns, 1 Canadian...

    Thought I Had A Penny Trifecta - NOT - Darn Half Cents

    I just love field hunting old log cabin and house sites. You never know what might come out of the ground. A few weeks ago I got a 6x8 SEF coil and have been trying it out for the last couple weeks. This coil is fantastic in iron infested ground. Today I went back to a log cabin site that I have...

    1600's Scottish Coin Found At The Club Hunt

    This is the 1600's hammered Scottish coin that I found at our clubs 2 day hunt a couple weeks ago. It is a Charles 1st twopence and was coined between 1642 and 1650. This is what makes metal detecting so much fun, you never know what will come out of the ground. Since the ground is so wet and...

    Mid 1600's Scottish Coin From Central Illinois

    One of the things I love about metal detecting is that the most unusual things sometimes come out of the ground. I was hunting a local park here in Central Illinois a couple weeks ago and found this hammered Scottish Charles 1st twopence that was coined sometime between 1642 and 1650. I've dug...

    This Mornings Hunt With Steve C.

    I already posted this once under a different posting but decided it needed a post of its own, so here it is again. Thanks Steve C. for a fun and informative demonstration this morning. I wish all detectorists out there were aware of the proper ways to retrieve targets. Thanks also for sharing...

    Found 3 Silver Dimes Today

    I didn't even have to dig for them. I was getting last years dug clad ready to run through the tumbler and I saw a discolored but silvery looking dime in the pile so I pull out the magnifying glass and it turned out to be a 1963 roosevelt. I then checked the rest of the somewhat tarnished but...

    Thank You Steve C. For A Great Hunt

    Thanks Steve for another great hunt opportunity. It looked like everyone had a very good time. It may have been a little hot but we cannot control the weather. There were a lot of good finds made. I was very surprised this morning when Star and I came back to pick up our tables and chairs that...

    Mondays Heart Stopper

    I have been hoping to find a silver coin every month in the year of 2012. Nothing yet in April so with Monday being the last day of the month, I just had to go out and give it one last try. Decided to hit my favorite Peoria park. I usually find something decent there and wasn't disappointed. I...

    It was Nice To Meet You Marty

    Got to meet Marty yesterday. It was enjoyable getting to meet you Marty. We spent some time chatting and hunting. Star and I enjoyed our time with him and hope we can soon get a chance to hunt together again. Daryl

    Old Homestead Site-Two Quarter Pocket Spill

    My camera is not up and running right now so you just have to picture this in your mind. This spot is about 2 miles from my house and I've been wanting to hunt it for years but could never get permission. Sunday I called the current farmer and he said go ahead and hunt. Star and I worked it for...

    Just a guess but it looks like a lead head off of a roofing nail.

    Got Out For A While Today

    I finally got a day off from babysitting and the weather wasn't bad so I took a trip to Bradley Park. I dug a few deeper zinc cents because they read like indian cents but passed up most of the zinc signals in favor of better coins. I dug a total of 51 cents in clad and memorial cents plus 5...

    Mid 1800's Woman's Cloak Closure

    This board has been a little slow lately so I thought I might show one of my recent finds. Found in Peoria's Bradley Park just before the ground froze too hard to make hunting enjoyable. This was a full 11 inches deep in the soil. Its not always fun digging that deep but I am happy with this...

    No Silver Today

    After the last two days hunts I had high hopes of finding at least one more silver today but it wasn't to be. I did find just over 3 dollars in clad, 4 older wheat cents, and 3 indian cents so I consider it a good days hunt. Daryl
