    A little more clad.

    Last weekends hunts took me two days to recover from. Mostly my legs. I reckon a lazy winter is to blame. Today I had a errand to run quite a ways from home and tossed the old AT-Po in the car in case I saw some place interesting. I found an old school. DRY! I'm sure there are old coins...

    Can I still do this, I wonder?

    Third hunt of the year. I wonder what happened to that other fella who used to live in my body. I did go out yesterday and then again today. My thighs are screaming at me! I went to a clad rich place just to see if I could still detect like I used to. I reckon I'm still proficient. 3...

    First hunt 2012

    Another long break for me from the board and the hobby. So.......what have I missed? I moved recently and there is a big backyard which is where I started today. Found the pocket watch pieces, toy gun barrel, and a few coins there. Mostly under the clothes line. I did not do a thorough...

    Man, It's been awhile! (Hunt and story.)

    Wow! I have been away for a few months it seems. No real reason. Not detecting much. Maybe 5 or 6 hunts since Labor Day. The story. I went to the Post Office this morning dressed for winter, and was shocked that it was 60 degrees out! As I waited in the loooooooooong line I decided I...

    First hunt in a month

    Well more like 3 weeks. It was really nice out today so I decided it might be one of my last chances in 2011. Just clad and a few other little odds and ends in 2 hours at a local school. About 100 coins shy of my 2007 clad total. (2007 was the year I found the fewest clad coins in all my...

    Columbus Day

    Last Columbus day my neighbors drove me out of the house and I went detecting. I remember this because I found a 14K ring. I recall I wore a jacket too. This year they drove me out of the house so I went for a hunt. No ring. It was almost 90 out. I did find a Euro spill which contained 2...

    98 Coin Weakling

    I have had a lot of 100 coin hunts in my time. A real lot. My last hunt was 102 coins. So with Indian summer in full force I went out today and said to myself that I am going to find 100 coins. Wrong: [attachment 212009 100811-1.JPG] Ninety-eight coins. A Marlboro key chain. (Fancy a...

    Need help from a Canadian.

    First off we are having even more local flooding which means no detecting. Dang it! So I'm fooling around with my coin collection as a fix. I just bought a big box of coins and this was in it. Canadian 1976 $5.00 coin. Exact size of a US silver dollar. It's sterling silver. Has just under...

    2011 might turn out OK! (My find of the year.)

    2011 will probably be my worst ever year detecting. I'm not motivated lately to go out. The weather has been very uncooperative. My finds when I have gone out have been OK, kind of so-so. I woke up from a nap this afternoon with nothing much to do so I headed out around 3pm. It was chilly...

    Saturday Stuff (For Bill)

    OK, this post and hunt are dedicated to Bill. I am imagining how he would respond to some of my comments based on how he did in the past. My July and August have not been good. Once I felt mended up and ready to hunt old Irene showed up and made it very difficult to get around where I live...

    Hey Gang

    Haven't been detecting or checking in here much lately. I had a bit of bad luck earlier in the month involving a big delivery truck and my much smaller pick-up truck. Seriously tired of dealing with the insurance company already. I was parked and that's all I should really say right now, I...

    Is Garrett stil sending out The Searcher

    I've been in my share, and sent in warranty cards for many detectors, and I've always gotten my copy in the mail. I didn't get the latest edition. Special summer I think I saw it called. Who's gotten it in the mail? Who hasn't? Chris

    Back on my bike

    It's been too hot and dry to go out. Lot of the US is like that this July, I reckon. Anyway I got out for the first time in 2 weeks this morning and found this lot: [attachment 205846 073011-1.JPG] The only real keeper for the day was a nifty surprise: [attachment 205847 073011-2.JPG] Back...

    Finally!

    I went back home for a few days for a family reunion of sorts. On the way back here I always like to stop at a few places I would not get to detect on my usual rounds. The coins at the top of photo 1 are from my old junior high so I suppose it is possible I lost one of them back when I was a...

    A little better.

    I have been trying like mad to get my tumbling caught up. I now have a semi functioning tumbler constructed from the parts of three broken tumblers. It's getting to be a serious pain in the neck fixing the thing every 2 or 3 hours. I have about 5 pounds worth that I'd like to get done before...

    Bah!!!!

    First off, the weather has sucked here. Second, when I have managed to get out recently my hunts have been awful. I had a two hour hunt that produced 27 coins! You've all seen photos of my stuff and probably realize how that compares to my norms. This weekend was pretty nice. I went out...

    Sunday Stuff

    Here is everything from today with the AT-Pro: [attachment 201159 061211-1.JPG] Here are a few of the better items. The dollar coin is dedicated to Uncle Willy who can't get out and dig his own for now. I have found about 10 of them in the past month which is AOK in my book. Silver dime and...

    Out looking for old coins.

    Last night I decided to take the AT Pro to my best silver site. Well, what used to be my best. Once I discovered how much was there, I clobbered it good. I still find a silver coin there every once in a while but now only on the edges of the property, in areas that are difficult to detect...

    Memorial Day (Ring-a-Ding (a-Ding) (a-Ding)))

    I spent 36 hours tumbling a load of clad coins to get ready for the bank. This morning they were all done, rolled, and lined up in a neat row ready for the bank tomorrow. For the first time in a very long time I had no dirty MD clad in my place. Well, I had to resolve that situation. When I...

    Two Hunts. SOS

    Yesterday. AT Pro back from shop. Out for a few hours. Silver War Nickel. Two wheats. Buffalo Nickel. Old silver pin marked: ".925 Fine Sterling." An unusual mark that makes me think its old. The site is old too and it was deep. An old timer came by and I showed him my digs. He was...
