    The paper towel is staying!

    I'm going to use it until Garrett comes out with a new machine or until it disintegrates. This hunt was not interesting at all except that the site must have been cherry picked for quarters at some time in the past. There were very few pennies and quarters, more dimes than there should have...

    Night Hunt Yields Silver Half Dime.

    First, I'm sorry about that shameful title. Couldn't sleep. My lovely neighbors saw to that. The temp was low so I busted out my cold weather gear and headed to a quiet spot in the country. My angry feelings disappeared in the field which I knew they would. As I finished the sun was just...

    Off to a different park.

    Haven't been to this site in over a year. Super trashy. Dug a mess of pop tops. My biggest trouble for today is that my spreadsheet only has spaces for 50 silver rings. That turquoise ring is number 50. The one with the orange ball is number 51 for the year. Oh, what troubles I have! The...

    Here's another odd MD run in. (Long and possibly boring.)

    Ever have one of those mornings? I did today. Last night I planned out my morning and laid out everything that I was going to need to get my errands done. I knew of a sweet little park right near where I was going and decided that I could also spare and hour or so to detect. I got up early...

    It's happened to us all. (Venting.)

    I had a half hour to kill and went to a nearby park that is always good for a few goodies. This is a big park and gets a lot of MD action. I know all the workers there well and they like coming to my bar and telling me about the MD activity because they know it bugs me. I never spend too much...

    Back in business.

    I have not been out much since Labor Day. There are many reasons that I won't bore you with. I got out for 2 1/2 hours this afternoon. Lots of cool finds. 12 Wheat's. I had dug them all and wondered where the silver was. It was getting dark and my head lamp was back home. (Funny story...

    Hunted Sunday sans Pro-Pointer

    I have to say I got about as many coins without it as I do using it but I really missed the old girl. A few coins eluded me for several minutes. Unheard of using a Pro-Pointer. I went with the stock coil to get super accurate pinpointing and lowered sensitivity to 6.5 where I would normally...

    Labor Day and Weekend totals.

    When I say I am NOT going to detect on a particular day that generally means I AM going to detect. I made that statement yesterday so, of course, I went out for just under 2 hours. Sixty-six degrees at 11:30 so weather was perfect! Hit a place that is nearby that I haven't been to in a while...

    I'll never figure this hobby out.

    While looking over my spreadsheet I noticed I had only 11 more one cent coins needed to reach the level where I turn them into US Silver coins. We all know what John calls that process, don't we? Off to my closest site and a quick 45 minute hunt. I had a few coins to go when a guy I know...

    Got another Chunky Silver Chain.

    I have this road trip I like to take when I can get an early start and it's not too hot out. Along the 120 mile "big circle" there are 7 K-12 schools that all date to the 1930s. It is not easy to hit more than 3 or 4 in one day and since I was up early today I went for it. I hit 3 of the...

    Finally........

    I have been begging for you gold hunters to send me some gold mojo since June 5. Frankly, I don't think any of you have been cooperating. (Kidding, of course.) Tonight I finally got lucky. I found this thin 14k man's wedding band (2.4 grams) less than 50 feet from where I found that 2 Reale...

    Why I like this forum.

    I went to a site that has been good to me in the past and did OK. I got another 925 chain albeit much smaller than the last one and one wheat cent. Missing from the photo are 13 quarters that are in my tumbler. I needed 13 quarters with some others to make it an even 400 for the month. As I...

    Why I dig it all.

    Got skunked at my good silver site except for 5 Wheats. Moved to a field to look for jewelry and coins. I finally got a signal 3 notches below zinc cent size C. This is normally not a good notch for me. I cut my flap and immediately saw silver which looked like foil at first. (It was...

    When pennies are interesting.

    The seasons are changing. For the second Thursday in a row I had to hunt just for a place to hunt. Even my old silver site was in use. I've never seen anybody using that park. Never! I tried and tried for gold today. I dug every piece of junk , every half corroded zinc, every pop top...

    Went out and dug up 37 coins to reach my latest milestone.

    I need a Spanish Colonial Coin expert's help.

    I was very fortunate today to find this 1793 Spanish 2 Reale coin. I have done a few hours of research and have found out that it was minted in NG, Nuevo Guatamala. The assayer initial is M. Question 1. Anybody know who he was? Question 2. I'd also like to know what "ET IND" stands for...

    Treasure Hunting Fairy Tale. (My Best Treasure in 2009!)

    Once upon a time there was a treasure hunter who was very fond of setting goals for himself. He knew his latest goal if only that damned weatherman would cooperate. While he referred to himself as a treasure hunter, others would call him a coin shooter, and some of his pals frequently reminded...

    The day after a bad hunt.....

    I normally don't have bad days. Why? Because if my morning is bad I keep going until things improve. My best coin day ever started out terrible. Last night I ran out of daylight. After the sun set I kept going. Had a 10 YO boy in tow, nice country boy, and he told me that he had been...

    How much do you get from a tank of gas? (Statistics for the hardcore only.)

    I gassed up around two weeks ago and it cost me $45. Batteries cost zero, except for maybe 20 cents to charge them up. I work less than a mile from home and frequently walk there so figure all but about 10 miles of driving was to and from MD sites. I drove 356 miles in the period which began...

    After the fireworks hunt

    Weekend fireworks at one of my old sites had me thinking gold. I left on my big coil which has been good to me lately and while I didn't find any jewelry I did find a deep, green, 1941 wheat and a deep 1942 Merc with a small hole in it down by the bottom of the fasces, also deep. That big...
