    Two days of detecting. And as promised......

    I had a serious itch to detect and the heat and humidity were cooperating. Over the last 20.5 hours I detected for 8.5 hours, drove for 4 hours, slept 5 hours, ate, showered, etc. for the rest of the time. I am very tired and will be in bed extra early tonight. Yesterday. Looking for silver...

    My last hunt?

    I don't know exactly how long that paper towel has been in service. I found an old post of mine that references it. That was July 2009. I reckon that I'll keep it around until the end of this month. Hopefully, I get one or two more hunts with her before next Sunday. Weather permitting, of...

    5,000th coin in 2010

    A good weekend for clad. Back to the old me at least for the past four days. Found 542 coins for around $56 plus a little jewelry and some relics. This afternoon I went out for an hour at the hottest part of the day needing a few dozen coins to hit a milestone. Here is coin number 5,000 in...

    My heart is broken.

    Not really. [attachment 167969 071810-2.JPG] Sadly the ring is as phoney as a three dollar bill. I had hopes for a few seconds. John, you may reply with your "nitro" graphic. The rest of the hunt was interesting. Still hot and humid. I drove up into the mountains where it was about 15...

    Thursday Morning Early Hunt/Thanks to Jim/Macbeth

    Went out super early to beat the heat. I hadn't been out in ages, or so it seems. High percentage of quarters as you might notice. A .925 earring. A wheat cent. Nothing too special. I've had this streak where I've hit at least 1000 coins every month (March-October) for the past four years...

    Road trip stuff.....

    A bit of a road trip and naturally I made time for a few hunts. The stuff at the top of photo one was a few hours at a modern elementary school. Nothing special. The stuff at the bottom is from a really old country school I always stop at when I pass it. I'd drive out of my way to pass it...

    Out early this morning. Yawn..........

    To beat the heat I was out and swinging by 6:30 am. I had one goal in mind. To go back to the site where I left a target in the ground beneath a large root. It would be the second site of the day. First site was new to me. Actually, I had been there before but only made one quick pass...

    Same old junk for me.

    Loads of clad: [attachment 165266 061710-1.JPG] First silver coin ever at this site which was great! Silver ring. Small. Coin from Nepal. Cool! Tiny leaf which shows how well the 2500 handles tiny targets. Took me ages to spot it even with a Propointer. [attachment 165267 061710-2.JPG]...

    Back at it. Another silver coin.

    Three sites, that's why the clad is split up the way it is. 1939 quarter from the same site where I found the two silver coins yesterday. Five more wheats too. I think I found another silver quarter but there was a giant root as big around as my forearm blocking my way and I couldn't retrieve...

    Went out looking for silver.....

    I have this silver site. Used to be great. Last two times I was skunked. That's OK. I keep expanding my grid and I've still been finding wheats there. Had some luck last night. First find was the "Ireland" ring. Special to me, I won't bore you with why. Middle of the hunt I found a nice...

    Two days that I should have stayed home.

    Thursday afternoon. Here's the story. Briefly. I went to a park that has never been all that great for me. First signal the battery in my Pro-Pointer dies. I make the long walk back to my truck for a new one. Install it. Locate the target. Begin recovery. Slice about a quarter of the...

    My Weekend

    I went up home for my niece's birthday. She's 13 going on 25! I got both of the girls out for a hunt which is not very interesting to them anymore. We found coin number 2500 of the year as a team which was a real pleasure! Here's a fun thing to do. If you maintain a brag book make one...

    The other road.

    Today I went west. You may recall yesterday I chose south. I guess next in line is north. Same story. Five sites along this particular route. Things were good at site one so I never left. Additionally, I had two real nice and polite kids "helping me" for a couple of hours. I paid them in...

    Longest hunt in 2010 thus far.

    I stopped at the stop sign at the end of my street for a long time this morning. Which way should I head? South or west? I heard the toot of a horn behind me and headed south. Four sites along that route. Decided to hit them all. It didn't work out. I got to site one and never left. The...

    Boring old hunt.

    Lots of clad. One wheat cent. Junk ring. A cool 13 pendant. 13 is one more than 12. I don't know exactly what that means but I'm trying to figure it out. A coin from Ireland. I've been having these happy little coincidences all day and this seems to be another. My mind began to meander...

    Coolest penny ever?

    Same old same old for me. This stuff came from what used to be my best producing site. I hit the edges today. There's almost nothing left in the main area. If you can't tell that little bottle on the far right holds a zinc cent. The cork is still in it and pushed almost into the bottle. A...

    Found a nice hunk of silver.

    My usual assortment with a really nifty 25 gram 925 bracelet. Have found 10 silver rings to date in 2010. Total weight? 25.1 grams. Nice to double my yearly silver total with one find! Chris

    You just never know. (Part 2)

    Back to an old favorite spot of mine for exactly one hour. A little clad. Tinkerbell fob. Junk ring. I'm calling it the Uncle Willy ring because it reads "Buds" and he uses that term a lot. I wish it was solid gold for his sake but he'll understand. Now this site has never been a great...

    WHOOP!

    I went to a very close site that I've always thought would give up some gold. Finally today it did! I was pretty excited to bust out of my gold ring slump. It's small (2.4g) and only 10K. The band is broken. One of the emeralds is cracked in half. It's missing a diamond. I'd say it's just...

    Great day. More of my usual finds.

    A very fun morning. Local park. Tons of people most who were very interested in what I was doing. I spent quite a bit of time demonstrating. The park manager came over to see if I was ruining his grass. He had watched me recover about a dozen coins and came over to say how impressed he was...
